Francis Crozier, known to the Inuit as Aglooka, was an officer in the Royal Navy and captain of the HMS Terrorduring the failed Franklin expedition. An experienced sailor and arctic veteran, Crozier served under the command of Sir John Franklin despite Franklin's relative lack of naval experience, owing to Crozier's Irish heritage. Following Franklin's death in 1847, Crozier assumed command of the expedition and enacted plans to rescue the stranded crews. By 1850, Crozier was the presumed sole survivor of the expedition, choosing to live in exile with the Netsilik rather than return to England.

Crozier was born to a "middle-bred" Irish family. After joining the Royal Navy, he participated in William Parry's attempt to reach the North Pole alongside Thomas Blanky and later served as second-in-command of James Ross's expedition to Antarctica. During his expeditions to the Arctic, Crozier learned to speak the Inuit language. Despite Crozier's successes, the Admiralty refused to grant him his own command, which he attributed to his Irish heritage.
