Crawford Starrick (18 August 1827 – 1868) was the owner of the Starrick Telegraph Company, and the Grand Master of the British Rite of the Templar Order by 1868.
Having inherited his first rail factory from his father, Starrick nevertheless proved to be a brilliant businessman of his own, building an empire that continued to grow. He was also ruthless towards his employees and installed Rupert Ferris as manager to maximize profit and keep spending to a minimum.[1]
Sometime during the 19th century, Crawford participated in an auction alongside fellow Templar and good friend Lucy Thorne, who managed to outbid him and subsequently acquired an occult manuscript.[2]
Through his network of Templar agents, he controlled London and oppressed the working class to keep the Order in power.
