John Murray is a minor character in AMC's The Terror. He is a sailmaker on HMS Erebus, and the only one on the expedition.

In The Show[]

Murray first appears in episode 1 when he watches seaman William Orren fall off the main mast into the water. He later attends Sir John's speech to the sailors.

Much later, Murray is shown attending the New Year's carnivale and listening to Crozier's speech about abandoning the ships.

Later still, Murray can be shown attending Sgt. Tozer and Cornelius Hickey's court martial.

In episode 10, he can be seen in the background in Edward Little's meeting, which can imply he died with the rest of the sailors marching south.
