The character of Captain Hook was inspired by Reverend John Maher, a preacher at St. George's parish in Brede, East Sussex. At first glance, Maher appeared to be a small town Reverend who happened to have a hook in place of his left hand. He told everyone he lost it in a coach accident. No one had any reason to doubt his story until a man named Smith came to town and revealed that Maher lost his left hand in his previous career as a pirate. Apparently, Maher had a pretty successful career until he decided to strand his partner, Smith, in the Caribbean, return to England, and become a man of the cloth. Smith tracked down his old friend and set out to blackmail him. The pressure was too much for Maher, and paranoia drove him mad. Sir J.M. Barrie visited Brede a few decades later. He heard the story, and the rest is history.
