Capt Jack Harkness (John Barrowman)

Role Leader

Special skills "Jack's the glue that keeps everybody together. Suzie's second in command, Gwen is the heart of the organisation, Toshiko is the brains, Owen is the doctor, and Ianto is the piece of tart on the side."

Personality "He's still fun, still loves action, he's still flirtatious and sexy, as he was in Doctor Who, but he's also darker. He was brought back to life and he ran to be with the Doctor and Rose - but they left without him. Really upset, really angry!"

Strengths/weaknesses "Strengths: he deals with situations on the spot and gets the job done. Weaknesses: doesn't listen to people very much, and does his own thing."

Reaction to Weevils "Jack has already met the weevils [pre-Torchwood]. They're no big deal to him. He knows how to contain and control them."

Fancies "I think Captain Jack fancies everybody."
