But his vortex manipulator failed to deliver him there due to the damage caused when he was exterminated by the Daleks, missing by more than a century - and going on the fritz immediately thereafter. He thought it likely that he'd find the Ninth Doctor in the early 21st century, since that was Rose's home era. Stranded, the former Time Agent had to use his own devices to catch up to the Doctor. Consequently, the Doctor abandoned him in the year 200,100 aboard a space station orbiting a Dalek-devastated Earth.
Because of this, the Ninth Doctor saw his companion as a fixed point - a temporal paradox that threatened the TARDIS' proper operation. Unable to control her powers, she accidentally turned him into an immortal being. He was a companion of the Ninth Doctor, and an associate of the Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors.Īfter he was shot and killed by a Dalek, Jack was revived by Rose Tyler, who at the time was transformed into a nearly omnipotent being. ' Captain Jack Harkness' was the alias adopted by Time Agent and con man Javic Piotr Thane ( AUDIO: Month 25, R&J) from the 51st century.
