Background
Francis Crozier is a captain in the Discovery Service for the British Royal Navy.
During the events of The Terror: Season 1 Episode 1 Go for Broke played by Jared Harris
Crozier complains to Thomas Jopson about having to have dinner with John Franklin and Crozier and predicts James Fitzjames will once again talk about his time in Namibia or the time he was shot while in China. At the officer's dinner, Fitzjames tells the diners consisting of Franklin, Crozier, Lt. Edward Little, Dr. Macdonald, Lt. John Irving, and Lt. John Hodgson about the time he was shot in China. Crozier sarcastically asks Fitzjames to recount the time he was assigned to guard bird guano. Franklin mentions that Reid noticed a patch of ice that doesn't appear to be summer break-up ice, but isn't concerned. Crozier has a meeting with Franklin and Fitzjames about David Young, who started coughing up blood, and Dr. Macdonald tells them Young has dark blood in his stool and he may have tuberculosis. Franklin suggests Dr. Stanley have a look at young and decides to have Young brought to his ship.
A large piece of ice hits the Erebus. Crozier remembers the time when he attended a play about the Algonquin massacre by the Mohawk, which he attended with Lady Jane Franklin, Sir Ross and Lady Ann Ross. During the play, the Presenter announces to the theater goers that Crozier and Sir Ross are in the theater and they are given ovations. Thomas Blanky and Crozier look at the icebergs in front of them and realize it is pack ice due to the snow on top. Franklin calls a meeting of the officers, including Lt. H.T.D. Le Vesconte, and [John Gregory]] tells them about the damage to the Erebus and Crozier warns Franklin that they will be dealing with pack ice ahead. He asks Lt. Graham Gore how many sun dogs he has seen and suggests they explore King William Land to see if it is an island and Blanky agrees. Franklin decides against his advice and Fitzjames considers Crozier's warning, melodrama. Crozier then angrily points out that only four people at the table are veterans of the arctic, but Franklin again decides to continue on.
Six days later, both ships are stuck in the ice. The next morning they wake up to be surrounded by continuous ice, and Franklin sees Crozier staring at him from across the Terror.
