Hikaru Nakayama

**Hikaru Nakayama** was one of two stillborn twin children of Chester Nakayama and Luz Ojeda.

## History

Hikaru and his twin brother, Enrique were conceived during a night of passion during the forbidden romance of Chester Nakayama and Luz Ojeda. They initially planned to abort the children, not knowing at the time that Luz carried twins, but Luz ultimately decided against it. ("A Sparrow in a Swallow’s Nest")

As a Japanese American, Chester was sent to an internment camp and Luz decided to come with him. It was here that she learned from a midwife that she discovered at the camp, Yuko Tanabe, that she was having twins. Unbeknownst to her, Tanabe was a *Bakemono*, or shapeshifter and an undead spirit, a *yurei*.

When Luz's water broke, she was sent to Dr. Kitamura to give birth, despite the doctor disliking her, possibly due to her being a Mexican American in a Japanese American camp. He delivered both of the children stillborn, despite Tanabe possessing his nurse, Nurse Hasegawa, to monitor the delivery. Luz was devastated and only a memorial of two Japanese statuette figures was left of her children, which the Nakayama and Yoshida families prayed over while she lay morose in bed. Chester was initially unaware of the stillbirth of his children, having gotten work as a translator in the field as part of the war effort. For failing to deliver the babies alive, Yuko Tanabe possessed Dr. Kitamaura and forced him to commit suicide by giving himself a C-section. ("The Weak Are Meat")

His and his brother's stillbirth continued to haunt Luz long afterwards. ("My Perfect World")
Punished, As A Boy

**Punished, As A Boy** is the fourth episode in AMC's *The Terror*.

## Background

A series of cunning attacks on the ships proves to the men they are not battling an ordinary bear.

## Summary

By November 1847, there is some concern regarding the fate of the expedition and Sir John's wife and his niece try to pressure the Admiralty in London to send out a search and rescue party. Sir John Ross shares their belief that the ships might be trapped in the ice but the rest of the Admiralty does not and refuses to organize an expedition. Angered by their inaction, the two women decide to fund a ship for themselves.

Back in the Arctic, the creature continues to kill members of the British expedition, the crews of *Erebus* and *Terror* begin to believe it's something more than just a bear. One man, Petty Officer Cornelius Hickey, leads an unauthorized expedition to abduct Lady Silence, bringing her back to the ships in the belief that she is controlling the creature. When Hickey disputes Crozier's reprimand during a debriefing, Crozier orders him subject to a more severe lashing than his fellow abductors, ordering him to be "punished as a boy" (whipped across the buttocks rather than the back).

An increasingly alcoholic Crozier announces to *Terror*'s crew an opportunity to transfer to *Erebus* due to *Terror*'s precarious location on a fault in the ice, and all but ten of *Terror*'s crew depart for *Erebus*. Meanwhile, Mr. Goodsir tries to befriend Lady Silence and explain to her why the British are in the region.

## Trivia

* Historical advisor Matthew Betts makes a cameo appearance as a seaman aboard *HMS Terror*. He is seen with a red scarf following the scene where Crozier orders Lady Silence to be brought to *HMS Erebus* and orders Hickey, Hartnell, and Manson below to be questioned about their actions in kidnapping Lady Silence.
* When Captain James Fitzjames describes the Netsilik as "covetous, treacherous, and cruel", it is a reference to Charles Dickens and what he wrote in his magazine *Household Words,* where he blamed the native population for the demise of the Franklin Expedition using almost exactly the same words.

Terminal Island

**Terminal Island** of San Perdro is a tiny island off of California and host to a close-knit Japanese community. It is the home of Chester Nakayama, but their home is turned upside-down in the wake of World War II when he, his family, and other Japanese families are forced out of their homes and sent to the Colinas de Oro War Relocation Center, Japanese internment camp. It is situated between San Pedro and Long Beach.

Yuko Tanabe came here to be the bride of Hideo Furuya, but was cast out when he learned that she was pregnant. ("Taizo")

Upon being released from the Colinas de Oro Relocation Center, the residents of Terminal Island returned, only to find a large fence labeled "government property" and a field of dirt beyond. ("Come and Get Me")

## Behind the scenes

Terminal Island is a real island, largely artificial, located in Los Angeles County, California.

Since the island was geographically isolated at that time prior to the war, the Japanese-Americans that settled there had a distinct culture from Los Angeles and nearby San Pedro.

In the early 1940s, it was home to nearly 3500 Japanese Americans, who, like those in *The Terror: Infamy*, were forced out of their homes and sent to internment camps, their neighborhoods razed.

Bart Ojeda

**Bart Ojeda** was a Mexican-American man living in California in the United States. He was the father of Luz Ojeda and Dennis Ojeda.

On *The Terror: Infamy*, Bart Ojeda was portrayed by Ruben Garfias.

## History

He learned that his daughter went to stay at the Colinas de Oro War Relocation Center, a Japanese internment camp, after becoming pregnant by Chester Nakayama, who was Japanese American. His daughter would eventually deliver both of Chester's children, Enrique and Hikaru, stillborn.

He visited the camp, where he was shocked to see Luz's terrible, listless state following the loss of her children. He informed that her brother, Dennis, had been killed during a campaign in North Africa. He told her that she shouldn't be there, and it was time for her to come home.

Later, he was with Luz when a soldier attempted to interrogate her prior to her release. He mostly spoke for her, though at the end she spoke up herself, giving the names of the children that she had lost. The two of them were permitted to leave the camp, Bart driving them off in his Jeep pickup truck. ("Shatter Like a Pearl")

He brought Luz back to their family home in California, where they lived together, though Luz remained somewhat depressed. He was troubled by her habit of keeping a large box of letters sent to her by Chester Nakayama, letters that she never opened. He encouraged her to get over Chester and instead spend time with Julio, a young boy from church, someone from a good Catholic family who had just recently moved there and therefore didn't know about her and Chester. Though Luz did try to follow his advice, she ultimately ended up again taking off Chester. He drove her to the home of her *abuela* in Aguayo, leaving Bart a letter.

Bart read the letter and seemed saddened by the news. Before he could act on it, however, he was visited by the *yurei* of Yuko Tanabe, Chester's birth mother. In Japanese, she spoke to him of her family and her perfect world. Not understanding any of it, Bart asked her to leave. Instead, she possessed him, using his form to rifle through a box and find a map. On it, she drew a line from Bart and Luz's home to Aguayo. She then forced Bart to slam his head forward on the pen into his eye, killing him, and leaving him bleeding out on the table. ("My Perfect World")

After his death, he was missing for many months. It wasn't until over a year later that Luz and her *abuela* Rocio Trujillo learned of his being missing. Rocio spoke of using the family's old *cuanderismo* magic to determine whether he was alive or dead, but ultimately decided against it. Both, however, came to suspect he was dead after Chester revealed that Yuko Tanabe had followed them to Aguayo. ("My Sweet Boy")

He explained that Japanese Americans were stoic on the whole and that it was difficult to express the human horror seen on the series, noting that "If you look at historic photos, you’d almost think they were just getting on with their lives. So as actors in order to be historically accurate, we couldn’t really lean into the horror of the camps in the way you might expect."

On April 22, 1848, Captain Crozier gives the order to abandon both ships. While most are optimistic of the captain's plans, some are skeptical and express belief that abandoning the larger group to create a smaller and more mobile one would give them a better chance for survival. Crozier leaves a handful of men behind with enough supplies to last through winter and instructions on what to do if there is a thaw and the ships are able to break free from the ice. Crozier and Blanky bid farewell to their ship and the order is given to depart on foot.

One morning Cornelius Hickey observes Goodsir and Lady Silence avoiding the canned food and after witnessing the suicide of another crewmember, he realizes there is something wrong with it and begins plotting a mutiny. Later that day a patrol discovers that the rescue party sent out after Sir John's death last year was massacred only eighteen miles from the ships. Crozier chooses to keep this from the men and once they reach the mainland, Crozier informs his officers of the knowledge that lead poisoning is being caused by the tinned food and that hunting parties are to begin.

While hunting for game, Hickey, Lieutenant Irving, and a Petty Officer come across a family of friendly Netsilik who provide Irving with seal meat. Shortly after Hickey murders both Irving and the Petty Officer.

Crozier requests Sir John Franklin about sending out a sledge party on foot to seek help but Franklin rebukes him believing there is no need and stating he is adamant on not losing anymore men while Crozier expresses concern all their men may be lost. Franklin then scolds and degrades Crozier regarding his alcoholism, depression, and insecurities stating they were never meant to be friends or family. Intending to take matters into his own hands, Crozier begins drafting a resignation letter planning to lead the party himself and leave later that evening.

Franklin joins a group of armed Royal Marines who have set up a hunting blind for what they believe is a bear that killed one of their officers, but it ambushes the group, killing a marine and Franklin, who drowns after the creature tears off his leg and tosses him into the fire hole where the British had buried the Inuit man earlier. A funeral for Sir John is held and a reluctant Crozier takes command of the expedition and sends out a rescue party bound for Fort Resolution on the Great Slave Lake around 800 miles away. Elsewhere, alone in an igloo, Lady Silence hears the creature outside and finds that it has left her a seal carcass to eat.

An injured Crozier is brought to Hickey's camp where they speak briefly and Hickey requests Crozier's injuries be tended by Goodsir. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Edward Little tries to organize a rescue party to help Crozier, but the rest of the men refuse and instead continue to keep moving south. Goodsir speaks with Crozier regarding the current situation and Crozier tries to reassure him things will be alright, but Goodsir is despondent. He informs Crozier that when he's dead and his body is to be consumed, eat only the feet, preferably the soles if possible. Hickey summons Crozier where they discuss the nature of the Tuunbaq and Hickey admits Crozier is his equal and he thanks him for that.

Having given up on hope and knowing that Hickey's men will eat him, Goodsir poisons himself in an attempt to poison the entire group and cuts his wrists to mask the true cause of death. Crozier is forced to partake in the cannibalism but eats only the soles of Goodsir's feet just as he was warned. An increasingly unstable Hickey orders the men to drag their sled up a hill, where he reveals that he is, in fact, an impostor. He explains that he murdered the real Cornelius Hickey and assumed his identity as a way of using the expedition to gain transport to the tropical Sandwich islands, where he planned to desert. The Tuunbaq, though sick and injured, arrives on the scene shortly after this revelation and kills Hickey and most of his men, but dies in the process of ingesting their poisoned bodies as well as by Crozier choking it with a chain.

Crozier is the only survivor of the Tuunbaq's attack and Lady Silence soon arrives and nurses him back to health. While traveling south with her, Crozier comes across the dead remnants of his men and a barely alive Little who dies shortly after Crozier discovers him. Silence and Crozier travel to her village where it is revealed her name is Silna. Following Inuit custom, Silna is exiled for having "lost Tuunbaq", a fate she accepts without protest, and Crozier adapts to the Inuit way of life. When Sir James Ross and his interpreter arrive two years later, looking for the Franklin expedition, Crozier conceals himself from them and instructs the Netsilik hunter to tell them that everyone from the expedition is dead, the ships are lost, there is no Northwest Passage, and that "we are gone". After eavesdropping on the conversation, the series' opening scene, Crozier departs to hunt seal. He finds a hole in the ice and waits while a little boy sleeps next to him.

Weekes replies that it killed Bryant and how he wasn't a best man but Best tells him that Bryant was a Sergeant. Soon after John Morfin begins singing "The Silver Swan" in remembrance of Sir John but is unable to remember some of the lyrics to which Best fills in and the rest of the men sing together. His next appearance is in episode 8 when he appears at Cornelius Hickey and Solomon Tozer's trial. He then appears in episode 10 when he and rest of the expedition sailors leave their camp and go south but perish before they make it.

## In The Book

In the original book, Best is one of the crew members who join Hickey's mutiny. He is shot to feed Luke Smith.
Adam Nagaitis

**Adam Nagaitis** is an actor who played Cornelius Hickey on the first season of *The Terror*. Going into the role, he knew nothing of the expedition of the HMS *Terror*, nor the Dan Simmons novel on which the series is based. He stated that he was drawn into the series by the writing. In preparing for playing the character, he scanned the novel for any reference to "Hickey," only to be told by the show's executive producers to put it down, as the character they were creating was not the one from the novel.

Nagaitis has worked in film and television since 2000. His other roles include the parts on the television series *Houdini & Doyle* and *Law & Order U.K.*, and the films *The Man With the Iron Heart* and *The Local*.

E. J. Helpman

## Edwin J. H. Helpman

**Edwin Helpman** is a minor character in AMC's *The Terror*. He is the clerk in charge on *HMS Terror*.

## In The Show

He first appears in episode 1 having dinner with the other officers of *Terror*. He then appears in the background during Cornelius Hickey's lashing in episode 4. In episode 5, Crozier mentions to his steward Thomas Jopson that Helpman like most of *Terror'*s crew, had moved over to *Erebus*. He isn't seen with the crew in April, 1848, so that could possibly mean he burned to death at Carnivale.
Three Little Snowmen

**Official Blurb**

In 2/19th Special Weapons Group Rear Detachment usually means drinking beer, making sure nobody burns down the barracks, and trying not to freeze to death. It's usually easy duty, day on day off and kicking back. For Corporal Anthony "Ant" Stillwater and Specialists Nancy Nagle and John Bomber it's a little bit of relaxation, time to unwind after a grueling year of special weapons work, and nothing that they can't handle without breaking a sweat.

This time there's something wrong. A killer roams the barracks, just as highly trained, just as motivated, and just as familiar with the territory as the soldiers of Rear Detachment. He has it all planned out, has prepared for it, and has the advantage of surprise.

**Notes**

At the beginning of this book, Anthony "Ant" Stillwater is a basic normal person. He's got a bad past, but he's overcoming it. While he's a silent person, unwilling to speak much, his relationship with Nancy Nagle and John Bomber is much more traditional. This book shows what happened to Stillwater, what turned him into the dangerous meat machine.
Robert Golding

**Robert Golding** is a character in AMC's *The Terror*. He is a cabin boy on *HMS Terror*.

## In The Show

Golding first appears in episode 1 having dinner with Thomas Evans, Cornelius Hickey, William Strong and David Young discussing about Neptune and what rank he might be.

His next appearance was in episode 4 when he told Captain Francis Crozier that Strong had been dragged away by Tuunbaq. Later in the episode when Hickey, Magnus Manson, and Thomas "Tom" Hartnell bring a kidnapped Lady Silence on board *Terror*, Golding suggests cutting her in half to avenge the deaths of Strong and Evans who were killed in a similar manner. Afterwards he can be seen scrubbing the deck with Harry Peglar.

In episode 5, Golding along with Hartnell are seen loading a cannon with Lieutenant George Henry Hodgson. Later the Tuunbaq attacks again and Golding is on deck with Thomas Blanky, Sgt. Solomon Tozer and other men but is forced to hide as he has no weapons. Afterwards he alongside Hartnell assist Hodgson in manning the cannon and manage to hit the creature driving it away.

He appears next in the beginning of episode 7 where he discusses with Thomas Armitage that they were informed lemon juice would prevent scurvy and if the disease gets severe enough gums can pull back and scars can dissolve opening back up. Golding, along with Armitage, Manson, Hickey, and Tozer, listen to William Gibson's idea of a proposed mutiny to split from the larger group and go on their own.

In episode 9, he speaks with Hartnell about the corpse of Thomas Honey who was killed by the Tuunbaq in an attack on their camp in the previous episode. He briefly greets John Bridgens as he's heading out into the hills to commit suicide. Golding later reports to Captain Francis Crozier, Lieutenant Edward Little, and Blanky that the Tuunbaq has been sighted not far and it's apparently trying to track them. Later in the episode, Golding reports to Little and Crozier that open water has been sighted and goes with them to scout it out. Unfortunately this turns out to be a ruse for Hickey's mutineers to capture Crozier as Golding had defected to them earlier.

Once Crozier is brought back to their camp, Hickey tries to force him into eating Doctor Henry Goodsir's corpse. When he refuses, Hickey orders Golding to stand up which prompts Crozier to relent. After the meal is done, Golding along with Crozier, Tozer, and Hodgson are chained to a sledge boat and head out into the hills to draw out the Tuunbaq for a final confrontation. Once the creature arrives, Golding tries to hide from it by crawling under the sledge but is dragged out by the Tuunbaq and killed.

## Trivia

* Golding was the oldest of the ship's boys on the expedition.

## History

Living homeless on the streets of Los Angeles and unable to care for her child, Taizo, Yuko Tanabe came to the orphanage where Sister Agatha worked. She surrendered her child to Sister Agatha, who told her that she had done the right thing, as a child can't be raised on the streets. Yuko, however, was not comforted by this. ("Taizo")

Around 23 years later, she was still working at the same orphanage. ("My Perfect World")
Sophia Cracroft

**Sophia Cracroft** was the niece of Sir John Franklin and Lady Jane Franklin.

## Biography

While the HMS Terror, and HMS Erebus stopped in Tasmania, before the Ross Expedition, Cracroft began to be romantically pursued by Captain Francis Crozier, who proposed to her on two occasions. Despite her attraction to him, Cracroft rejected his proposals both times, citing her lack of desire to marry a naval explorer and Crozier's Irish heritage and humble background.

When Sir John was selected to command an 1845 expedition in search of the Northwest Passage, Cracroft asked Crozier to accompany him, in order to "keep Sir John safe and ensure his judgment." After the expedition vanished, Cracroft accompanied Lady Jane in her lobbying for a rescue effort, visiting the Admiralty in November 1847 and fundraising for a private search attempt at the London Cultural Society in 1848 with the support of Charles Dickens.
Leimert Park

**Leimert Park** is a neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles, California.

Sergeant Terajima

**Sergeant Terajima** was a Japanese American man who served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II. He joined the Japanese Linguist Program to aid in the war effort.

On *The Terror: Infamy*, Sergeant Terajima was portrayed by Taiga Seiya.

## History

He was part of a group of translators at the Military Embarkation Center in Long Beach, California who were preparing to ship out to Guadalcanal to relieve Chester Nakayama and Arthur Ogawa, who were the only two translators working there at the time. He was the butt of the jokes of a couple of the other translators, one of which asked him if he would "take one for Uncle Sam" so that they would name a pagoda for him. When he gave no reply, the teasing translator chuckled, saying that he used to be fun.

Unbeknownst to any of them, Terajima had been possessed by Yuko Tanabe, a *bakemono* and a *yurei*, an undead shape-shifting spirit. As Terajima walked with the group to travel to Guadalcanal, his bones cracked strangely, he had a strange look in his eyes, and he carried a bag that appeared to be bloodied at the bottom.

When the group arrived at Guadalcanal, the teasing translator from before asked if he was coming with them before heading off. Terajima instead stood strangely at the edge of one of the Jeeps. He unzipped the bag and examined its contents: a bloodied human corpse. He then zipped the bag back up. At some point, Tanabe transferred herself to Arthur Ogawa, freeing him of her influence. ("Shatter Like a Pearl")
442nd Infantry

The **442 Infantry** was a unit within the US Army. It was made up entirely of Japanese American soldiers and more of them came from the Colinas de Oro War Relocation Center than any other Japanese internment camp.

## History

Sometime in or around 1943, Walt Yoshida joined this unit. He later returned to the Colinas de Oro in January 1945, a celebrated hero. A party was held for his homecoming. He recruited other members of the camp to join the unit. He, however, tried to warn Toshiro Furuya against joining, telling him that the members of his unit were dying faster than they could be replaced and that they were sent into those places that were deemed too dangerous for white soldiers. ("My Sweet Boy")

## Behind the scenes

* Actor Lee Shorten, who plays Walt Yoshida on *The Terror: Infamy*, stated that his character's service in the 442nd Infantry was a big part of why he agreed to play the role.

David Bryant

**David Bryant** is a minor character in AMC's *The Terror*. He is a sergeant in the Royal Marines on *HMS Erebus*.

## In The Show

Bryant first appears in episode 1 briefly seen alongside John Morfin as David Young is screaming from the sick bay. After Young's death he is on the main deck of *Erebus* when Sir John Franklin gives his eulogy/speech to his sailors. Later after the ships get stuck in the ice, Bryant can be seen praying in his hammock as the ship creaks from the pressure of the surrounding ice.

In the next episode he is sent out with Lt. Graham Gore's sledge party to find the Ross cairn on King William Island. Afterwards, both he and Gore trek on to find the second cairn and later return during a hailstorm to find the sledge boat overturned. Bryant believes a bear is nearby tracking them and he shoots what he thinks was the bear but later is revealed to be a Netsilik Shaman. The shaman's daughter begins searching for a creature called the Tuunbaq which confuses Bryant. The Tuunbaq then appears and kills Gore very shortly after.

At the beginning of episode 3 he and George Chambers are discussing the creature and Bryant plans to ask Lt. Henry Le Vesconte to be part of the hunting party and wants another shot at it. Chambers is startled by a loud creaking sound but Bryant assures him it's only the ice. Chambers then asks Bryant what it's like shooting a man and he replies that shooting someone is more fun when you actually mean to do it. Bryant later becomes part of the group tasked with killing the creature and he gets his photograph taken alongside Sir John, Sgt. Solomon Tozer, Pte. William Heather, and two other men by Dr. Henry Goodsir. Tozer asks if Sir John would like to stay with them for a while and when he agrees, Bryant gives up his seat so he could sit. Almost immediately after, Bryant is killed by the Tuunbaq when it takes him away from above and decapitates him by tearing off everything above the lower jaw.

Bryant's death leaves Sgt. Tozer in overall command of the surviving Royal Marines present on the expedition.

## Trivia

* Some sources list Bryant's first name as Daniel.
* A shoulder plate that belonged to Bryant was recovered from the wreck of *Erebus* in 2015.
* In Episode three Bryant remarked "That Mary Anne doesn't know what he saw." The real David Bryant's wife's name was Mary Anne Bryant.
