Captain James Hook

He still retained something majestic in his manners, so that even when he split your skull, he did it with dignity, and they say that he was famous as a wonderful storyteller. He was most terrible at those moments when he showed the greatest politeness - this is probably the sign of true education; the elegance of speech, which did not fail him even when he swore, and the nobility of his manners testified that he was not the equal of his subordinates.

His dark face was deathly pale, his hair fell in long curls over his shoulders, like black twisted candles at a short distance, which gave a menacing look to his beautiful face. His eyes were a soft blue, like forget-me-nots, with an infinite sorrow in them, and only when he struck you with his hook, two red dots suddenly flashed in them, illuminating them with a fierce flame. In his clothes he tried to imitate the style associated with the name of Charles II - once, at the beginning of his stormy career, he heard it said that he strangely resembled the ill-fated Stuarts; and in his mouth he carried a cigarette holder of his own invention, into which two cigars were placed at the same time. And, of course, his darkest feature was the iron hook - an artificial one, replacing his right hand, which Peter Pan had once cut off and fed to the Crocodile.

Possessing boundless courage, he was said to be afraid only of the sight of his own blood - it was thick and of a very unusual color.

His main enemy is Peter Pan, an eternally young boy who is always annoying Hook. For many centuries these two have been waging a war, but while on James's side it is quite real, Peter, with all his characteristic youthful ease, perceives all this as nothing more than a game, which further infuriates Hook.

His faithful dogs, his crew - the pirates from his ship "Jolly Roger". They are dull, uneducated and uncouth men, but they are loyal to their captain, although he, for the most part, deeply despises them for their ignorance and lack of good manners.
