what was captain hook's name before he got the hook
Captain Hook 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", and relates that Peter Pan began their rivalry by feeding the pirate's hand to the crocodile. He is said to be "Blackbeard's bo'sun" and "the only man of whom Barbecue was afraid".[5] (In Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, one of the names Long John Silver goes by is Barbecue.)[6]
