Captain Hook

Arrogant, self-centered, impulsive, fighting skills, flirtatious, womanizing, sexist. Deep desire: To be happy

Once a respectable member of the King's Navy, Killian Jones eventually turned to piracy after discovering that his king was corrupt, and became pirate captain of the Jolly Roger. After Jones apparently takes a woman named Milah, her husband Rumplestiltskin confronts him, but is too cowardly to do anything about it. Years later, after Rumplestiltskin becomes the Dark One, he sees Killian and his crew in a tavern and confronts him once more. He challenges Jones to a sword fight, and uses his dark magic to win. Rumplestiltskin plans to rip out Killian's heart, until he is confronted by Milah, who has become a pirate. Rumplestiltskin discovers that Killian and Milah are in love, and Milah went with him willingly, hoping to escape being a coward's wife and explore. Milah offers Rumplestiltskin a magic bean in exchange for Killian and Milah's lives. However, when Rumplestiltskin begins to question her angrily, asking how she could abandon her own son, Milah bitterly replies that she wanted to escape her miserable life and that she never loved Rumplestiltskin. Furious, Rumplestiltskin rips out Milah's heart and crushes it, killing her. He then cuts off Killian's hand before disappearing. Replacing his hand with a hook, Killian and his crew sail to Neverland, swearing revenge on Rumplestiltskin. Killian works for Peter Pan and, after a deal gone wrong with the deity Poseidon, steals Ursula's voice. Eventually, Killian returns to the Enchanted Forest and allies with Cora Mills just before Cora's daughter Regina unleashes the first Dark Curse. Killian, Cora, and a portion of the Enchanted Forest are protected by a force field.

After the first Dark Curse is broken, Hook and Cora seek to find a way to travel to Storybrooke, the place where the Dark Curse sent all the inhabitants of the Enchanted Forest, as Hook wants revenge on Rumplestiltskin and Cora wants to reunite with her daughter. After Snow White and her daughter Emma return to the Enchanted Forest, Hook constantly switches allegiances, helping them collect a magical compass from the top of a Giant Beanstalk, but later stealing an unconscious Aurora's heart to remain in an alliance with Cora. ​​Although Emma and Snow return to Storybrooke, Hook uses a petrified magic bean to create another portal, so that Hook and Cora travel to Storybrooke as well. Hook shoots Rumplestiltskin's girlfriend Belle in the shoulder, causing her to fall over the town's border and lose her memories, before Hook is hit by a car belonging to Greg Mendell. Hook recovers and tracks down Rumplestiltskin—who is searching for his son Baelfire—in Manhattan, and uses his poisoned hook in an attempt to kill Rumplestiltskin. Hook is kidnapped by Baelfire's fiancée Tamara and Greg, and he forms an alliance with them, giving them a powerless Regina for interrogation. However, when Tamara and Greg obtain a doomsday device known as the Trigger, Hook chooses to realign his alliances with Emma, ​​Snow, and the others, and when Tamara and Greg kidnap Emma's son Henry, he uses a magic bean to sail his ship through a portal to Neverland with Emma, ​​Snow, Rumplestiltskin, Regina, and David.

Killian Jones is a pirate who formerly worked in the Royal Navy with his brother, Liam Jones. After joining the Navy, the King sends the brothers and the entire crew of the King's Jewel to Neverland in search of a plant called Dreamshade. However, Killian is reluctant to accept the orders after Pan appears and warns him that the plant is extremely poisonous, but his brother does not listen and ends up dying. Angry at his brother's death, Killian takes over the ship, becomes its Captain and renames it the Jolly Roger. Years later, Captain Jones meets Millah, Rumplestilskin's wife. Millah's husband goes to the Jolly Roger and begs him not to take Millah, as they have a son, Baelfire. The Captain points his sword at his neck and humiliates him, saying that his actions have made him a coward. However, he later returns as the Dark Lord and decides to end the duel. Jones is saved by Millah who appears to prevent her ex-husband from killing her love. But the Dark One does not forgive her for abandoning Bae and rips out her heart. Killian tries to get revenge, but ends up having his left hand cut off, which he replaces with a hook that he uses unsuccessfully to kill the Dark One. From then on, he became known as Captain Hook and leaves for Neverland to buy time to figure out how to get revenge, since no one ages there. Upon his arrival, he gives shelter to Baelfire who is fleeing from Pan. They begin an unlikely friendship (or even a paternal relationship) until the boy discovers that he was the pirate with whom his mother ran away, abandoning him.
