Lieutenant-Colonel Felix Crooke was with the Royal American Mounted Police and based in Victoria. He was a stocky, pale, clean-shaven man with black hair and blue eyes.

He was the RAM's expert on the Sons of Liberty and accompanied Lieutenant General Sir Horace Bragg on his train trip from Victoria to New Liverpool when the Sons stole The Two Georges.

When Crooke learned of Colonel Thomas Bushell's taking to the field to further the investigation into the theft, he asked permission to accompany him. Bushell agreed, thinking that Crooke's expertise would be useful. Bushell did ask Crooke if he had brought a weapon with him which surprised him. However, after Bushell pointed out that they were facing gunrunners, he acknowledged the need and sought a revolver from the HQ armourer.

The next morning Crooke met up with Bushell at the airship port and together they boarded the Empire Builder. Crooke went to his stateroom for the takeoff and then joined Bushell and Captain Samuel Stanley in the dinning room for breakfast.

The voyage was uneventful until they arrived at Wellesley. There, when they disembarked, they were accosted by a pack of reporters. Getting away, the three managed to get to the train station and catch a train to Prince George. There they changed trains to go to Prince Rupert and then by ferry to Skidegate.
