![]() Often in many adaptions he keeps a picture or portrait of his mother in his captain's cabin, which is shown being featured in The Adventures of Peter Pan and Peter Pan & the Pirates. In many adaptions it is established that James Hook had a complicated relationship with his parents. Hook also feels isolated, a mismatch who is above the dogged crew around him, one who must set an example for them. While he seeks to carry out his treacherous acts with civility and nobility - and succeeds he is not without fairness or consideration-he is forever critiquing himself as to whether he has upheld his code. He is at odds with the conventions of blue-blooded, civilized society, and the life he leads as a Pirate. Hook cannot break out from the inner struggle he’s placed on himself. He fears the sight of his own blood, which is of a strange color. Hook is often rendered powerless in the face of the question of good form. Hook is a talented fencer, and he is noted to be a man of "indomitable courage". Hook is not an entirely un-heroic character and does strive to act nobly throughout his ferocious acts.

He is described as having long, curled black hair, wearing a long red coat, and having his hook as his right hand. He then replaced his hand with an iron hook, and hence his present name was born. ![]() ![]() His real name was never revealed all that was known was that he was “A man whose real name, if revealed, would set the country in a blaze." He was born in England and attended Eton College as well Balliol College during his youth.ĭuring the early 20th Century he met and fought with Peter Pan for unknown reasons and in the sword fight, Pan cut off Hook's hand, then fed it to a gigantic crocodile.
