Francis Pocock is a minor character in AMC's The Terror. He is an able seaman on HMS Erebus.
In The Show[]
Pocock first appears in episode 7 when He, Armitage, Lt. Irving, Lt. Hodgson, Thomas Farr, and Cornelius Hickey are sent out as one of Crozier's hunting parties. Pocock then appears in episode 8 when he is mentioned to have killed one of the Inuits that Lt. Irving encountered. He then appears as one of the attendees at Hickey and Solomon Tozer's court martial. He is then mauled by Tuunbaq. However, like Pte. Heather, the attack only stunned him and put him in a coma. Rather then take him with them, his body is cremated with the other victims of the attack.
In The Book[]
Unlike his counterpart in the show, Pocock isn't killed by Tuunbaq. Instead, he ends up dying with the rest of the expedition's sailors when they try to reach the mainland.
