Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer (1730s – 1769) was a member of the Louisiana Rite of the Templar Order and the right-hand man of Madeleine de L'Isle, who operated under the alias of the "Company Man". Following his discovery of the Maya city of Chichen Itza, de Ferrer was entrusted with the transportation of slaves and vagrants to Mexico, where they would search for First Civilization artifacts. Dedicated to the cause, he oversaw the excavation efforts at the work site, while also securing alliances with people that could provide him with more workers.
