The Face of Boe had the distinction of being one of the oldest creatures in the known universe. This caused him to be dubbed on some worlds as "the creature that God forgot". (Huge Major Spoilers in white below)
He was well known by the 51st century, as Jack Harkness. In the year 5.5/Apple/26, the Face of Boe was the sponsor of an event to safely witness the destruction of the Earth by the expansion of the Sun. The event was sabotaged by Lady Cassandra, but the Face was among the survivors. (DW: The End of the World) By 5,000,000,023, the Face was hospitalised in Ward 26 of the hospital run by the Sisters of Plenitude on New Earth. Apparently dying of old age, the Face summoned the Doctor to his ward. When a novice told the Doctor the legend of the Face's last words - a secret which the Face would impart only to one like himself - the Doctor realised that he fit the description of the "wandering traveller". (DW: New Earth)
The Face of Boe eventually recovered, saying that although he had grown tired of the universe, the Doctor had shown him a new way of looking at things. The Doctor asked about the message, but the Face told him that it could wait for their third and final meeting, and teleported away. (DW: New Earth)
The Doctor was ultimately reunited with the Face of Boe one last time during his travels with Martha Jones, in the year 5,000,000,053. Boe revealed his last secret with his dying breath after sacrificing himself to save the city of New New York: "you [the Doctor] are not alone". The Doctor dismissed this, as he still firmly believed himself the last Time Lord. (DW: Gridlock)
After the death of Mr. Saxon, the immortal Jack Harkness said he lived on the Boeshane Peninsula, where, as the first Time Agent from that place, he was a poster boy and nicknamed "The Face of Boe". Given that the Doctor had just speculated that Jack might mutate in shape rather than age in the traditional way, this implied that he (Jack) would one day evolve into the being known as the Face of Boe.

Triska You go right ahead and do that. We all have the right to decide for ourselves what we think is going on. I think that the only way for this to end would be if perhaps the Doctor meets up with the Cat lady and it just so happens that before The Face of Boe died he told her, "I used to be called Jack." And of course, Jack wasn't his real name. Yeah, did you see the episode of Torchwood with the ACTUAL captain Jack in it? That ending... It caught me off-guard... eek

Hm...*taps head* I suppose that works, actually. There are still some things that confuse me, though...how did he die in Gridlock, then?

He gives his remaining life energy to power up the highway system enough to let everyone out of it.

Ohhh! It suddenly all makes sense...and as we've found out from Torchwood, energy draining really does a number on Jack...I stand corrected.
