Gillies MacBean is a minor character in AMC's The Terror. He is the second master on HMS Terror.

In The Show[]

MacBean first appears in episode 3 when he attends Sir John's funeral. His next appearance is in episode 4 when he is seen on the deck of Terror when Capt. Crozier finds Lady Silence aboard. He is then one of the attendees of caulker's mate Cornelius Hickey's lashing. However unlike most of the crew from Terror, he remains aboard. MacBean then appears in episode 5, when he is first seen writing the results of the cannon test on a notepad. When caulker Thomas Darlington gets killed by Tuunbaq, MacBean grabs a rifle and looks over the stern gunwale for the creature. When his superior Thomas Blanky yells out where the creature is, MacBean approaches the starboard gunwale very slowly, but Tuunbaq drags him over the side and kills him.

In The Book[]

Macbean and an able seaman were killed by Tuunbaq when Crozier sent them out on a sledge trip to bring supplies to leave at caches on the island.

Trivia[]

  • A fork belonging to MacBean was recovered from Repulse bay in 1854.
