In the original book Captain James Hook was the Pirate Captain of the Jolly Roger. His origins are all but unknown, only showing that he was a school teacher and a sword champion before his life of crime. Hook came to Neverland because he thought that there would be treasure, and he was right as the book makes reference to Peter Pan and the Lost Boys having fun by stealing his treasure and making him find it all over again. Hook also made references to "Good Form", something he picked up in his teaching days. When ever he fights Pan, he always tries to make the fight to "Good Form" as a habit. But when the fight gets slower, he will try to win by tricking Pan. Peter would call him on it by saying "Bad Form", but Hook would always find a way of making it good again, usually by saying his life was at risk. One point that the game doesn't use is how cruel Hook really is. This point is made both in the book and in the 1953 film, when Hook shoots one of his men. The Disney film made this a little child safe by making Hook get annoyed with his singing. In the book, Hook just shoots him out right, just to have a little fun.

Sora's Story

A pirate who holds a grudge against Peter Pan. Hook kidnapped Wendy to lure Peter out. Normally proud, Hook falls to pieces the moment the crocodile that took his hand shows up.

Reverse/Rebirth

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Peter Pan (1953)

A pirate of Never Land, and Peter Pan's archenemy. He tricked Terra into guarding his treasure, but lies never last, and Peter made off with the treasure chest anyway.

His usual swagger is replaced by terror at the very sight or sound of the crocodile.

Story

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

While looking for treasure on the island of Neverland, Hook and Smee are attacked by a swarm of Unversed, but are rescued by Terra. Hook tells Terra that a young boy has been tormenting him for quite some time, attempting to steal "the light" inside Hook's chest. Terra at first believes that the boy may be Vanitas, but Hook tells him that the boy's name is Peter Pan, and requests Terra to take the chest to Skull Rock and guard it from the thief. Once they arrive, Smee informs Hook of a shooting star which landed not far from where they are. Hoping to find more treasure, Hook leaves the chest in Terra's care and departs to find the shooting star. He finds it just as he captures Tinker Bell, which leads to a battle between himself and Ventus. Ventus manages to knock him into the water, where he is chased off by the Crocodile. Hook escapes with Tinker Bell and reunites with Terra inside Skull Rock, showing him the imprisoned fairy. However, Terra frees Tinker Bell, having learned the truth about Hook during a brief fight with Peter Pan while Hook was gone. Just as Hook prepares to engage Terra, the Crocodile appears and Hook makes another run for it.

When Aqua lands on the island, some time later, the Lost Boys tell her that Hook has stolen their treasure once again. Aqua, Peter and the Lost Boys eventually track Hook down, but as Hook gloats, he opens the treasure chest only to find nothing but the Boys' toys and other keepsakes (including Ventus's Wooden Keyblade). As he curses, the Crocodile appears and he runs away.

Some time after Master Xehanort's defeat, Hook's hat is stolen by Peter.

Kingdom Hearts

In Kingdom Hearts, Captain Hook has joined forces with Maleficent to use the Heartless to defeat Peter Pan. His vessel is used as a transport for Riku to Hollow Bastion. Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive on his ship in Neverland. They team up with Peter Pan, who is trying to free Wendy, who has been imprisoned on the ship. They do battle with Hook and manage to beat him, throwing him off his own ship and into the water, where the Crocodile chases him off.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

Hook appears as a figment of Sora's memories. He meets his demise when Sora challenges him alongside Peter Pan.

Hook also appears in Riku's memory-worlds as a token of the indelible darkness within him.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Captain Hook and Smee are once again digging around the island, searching for treasure. However, instead of treasure, they find Heartless, who are attracted to Captain Hook's greed. Eventually, it is revealed that Pete is the mastermind behind it. Pete had created a series of maps leading to the Heartless, hoping to turn Hook into a Heartless. When Smee digs up the final hole, Captain Hook is ecstatic that this one has real treasure. Just when he is about to collect his rewards, Pete turns the treasure into a Heartless. Luckily, Roxas is there to dispatch the giant Heartless, allowing Captain Hook to escape to his ship. In the end however, his greed comes full circle when the Heartless crashes into his ship.

Personality

Captain Hook is very arrogant and full of himself, and gets angry if someone insults him. He tends to hold a grudge against Peter Pan for stealing his hand and feeding it to the crocodile. In the Disney movies, he is portrayed as an excellent manipulator and liar. Three examples are when he manipulated Tinker Bell in the first movie and Jane, Wendy's daughter in the second movie, and Terra in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. He is cowardly and sometimes acts like a wimp, particularly when he hears the sound of the Crocodile coming close by. However, he is also an excellent sword fighter and a bomb expert, which makes him quite a challenge for Sora and Ventus when they fight him.

Appearance

Captain Hook is a thin man with curly, black, shoulder-length hair that drapes over his shoulders, a large, hooked nose, a thin, black mustache that angles upward sharply, and a large chin. He wears a frilly, white shirt underneath a red coat with gold lining and maroon cuffs. Each of these cuffs sports two yellow buttons. He also wears an orange sash over his right shoulder that holds his sword scabbard at his left hip. Hook wears maroon pants and white, knee-high socks, as well as black shoes with a pink circle decorating each one. The tongues of his shoes are enormous, reaching halfway up his shins. He wears a large, maroon hat with a huge, white feather stuck in it. He carries a rapier with a gold handle and guard as a weapon.

Origin

Captain Hook first appeared in Walt Disney's Peter Pan. He is the main antagonist of the film and tries to seek revenge on Peter Pan for causing him to lose his hand to the Crocodile.

In the original book by J.M. Barrie entitled Peater And Wendy, Captain James Hook was the pirate captain of the Jolly Roger and the lord of the pirate village in Neverland. It is said that Hook was Blackbeard's boatswain, and that he was the only man Long John Silver ever feared.His only two fears are the sight of his own blood (which is supposedly an unnatural colour) and one fateful crocodile. Hook hates Peter obsessively due to his cockiness (and the removing of his hand), as well as the way he always seems to have "good form" without trying or even realizing, which is the best "form" of all, and lives for the day he can make Peter and all his Lost Boys walk the plank.

Hooks Origins are virtually unknown. Barrie states in the novel that "Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze." It is implied that he attended Eton College and Balliol. In the original play; Hook's final words are "Floreat Etona", the College's motto. Barrie confirmed this in a speech delivered in 1927 to the first hundred at Eton College entitled "Captain Hook at Eton". In some adaptations, hook he was a school teacher and a sword champion before his life of crime.

Hook came to Neverland to leave England behind in the hopes of living as a pirate king of sorts and after hearing that there might be treasure on the island. There is treasure left on the island by various famous pirates and the book makes reference to Peter Pan and the Lost Boys having stealing his treasure and making him find it all over again. Hook also made references to "Good Form", something he picked up in his teaching days, as a way of showing that he likes the way things are done.

One point that the game doesn't use is how cruel Hook really is. This point is made both in the book and in the 1953 film adaptation, when Hook shoots one of his men. The Disney film lightened this a little by making Hook gets annoyed with the man who is singing in the crows nest out of tune. In the book, Hook just shoots him out right, just to have fun.
