In manner, something of the great seigneur still clung to him, so that he even ripped you up with an air, and I have been told he was a raconteur of repute. He was never more sinister than when he was most polite, which is probably the truest test of breeding...
Every story- even children's stories- need an excellent villain. There is, perhaps, no one better suited to acts of savagery and evil than a pirate lacking a moral compass, no matter how well educated he may be.

§ . n a m e . Benjamin Thompson
§ . m o n i k e r ( s ) . Ben, Thompson, probably some not-so-nice ones he's unaware of.
§ . g e n d e r . cisman
§ . a g e . 35
§ . s e x u a lx o r i e n t a t i o n . bisexual
§ . o r i g i n . Neverland (Hook) Newcastle, England (Ben)
§ . r e l a t i o n s h i pxs t a t u s . single
§ . o c c u p a t i o n . restaurant owner
§ . e y e s . hazel
§ . h a i r . dark brown
§ . h e i g h t . 5'11"
§ . w e i g h t . 160 lbs
§ . p h y s i q u e . average/thin
§ . s c a r s . not so much of a scar, I suppose, but Ben is missing his left hand. While Captain Hook might wear a sharpened menacing hook, Ben prefers something a bit more functional. He has various other scars; nothing super noteworthy or shocking, all things considering.
§ . d e s c r i p t i o n . Captain Hook may dress in finery, with long, curled hair, a well-manicured mustache, and a general menacing air about him. He's always playing the part of the gentleman, while all the while making himself look scarier, somehow. Of course, the star of the show was always his menacing hook.
And while Ben certainly can dress himself up like a gentleman, he prefers a more simple, clean-cut look. Jeans and tees are easier for him, more practical for his life, and all around perfectly normal and unassuming. Not that he's hiding anything, he just prefers not to stand out. Just being a face in the crowd suits him perfectly fine, though he still carries himself with all the rigor and pride of a military man. He most often wears his hook, but for nicer occasions he does occasionally wear a plain hand prosthetic. He prefers not to, it's not as functional, but sometimes it's worth avoiding questions about what happened to his hand.
§ . d e m e a n o r . cold, distant
§ . f e a r s . his own blood, crocodiles, has a weird thing about clocks. don't ask.
§ . v i c e ( s) . drinking, gambling
§ . d i s l i k e s . children, losing, backtalk, being wrong
§ . f l a w s . whiny little bitch, self-important, explosive temper
§ . s t r e n g t h s . clever, well-mannered, quick thinker
§ . i n t e l l i g e n c e . very intelligent
§ . p e r s o n a l i t y . Ben is a clever man: he's good about watching people, figuring out how they tick, and using their own faults and flaws to get them to align with his own agenda. On the other hand, he tends to get very sullen when things don't go his way. It's not uncommon to walk into his diner and hear him having a go at the people who work there, or see him dramatically get into a huff over something small. He's been known to go into fits sometimes, around people he's close to usually, as a manipulation tactic. Among the general public, he tends to be politely distant, and not at all pleasant, usually. His general dramatism does make him a good storyteller, not that he'd tell any of his stories to you.
Hook is very much the same, just generally more extreme. He's got a hotter temper, a shorter fuse, more murder in his eyes. There's just something unsettling about him, no matter how kind or polite he may be behaving. He's just not a generally pleasant person to be around, unless you've managed to get on his good side, which most people fail to do.
§ . s t r e n g t h s . clever, observant, quick thinker
§ . w e a k n e s s . vengeful, over emotional, too prideful, the whole "one hand" thing.
§ . p h y s i c a lx c o n d i t i o n i n g . can hold his own. He's not muscle bound boxer or anything, but he won't hesitate to throw a few punches.
§ . s a i l i n g . Hook and Ben are both no stranger to the open seas, and one might argue that they'd both feel more at home on a ship than anywhere else.
§ . s w o r dxf i g h t i n g . Captain Hook is an expert sword fighter, though perhaps a little obsessed with perfect and proper form. He's not against using some less than conventional methods to block an oncoming attack, though, having used his hook on several occasions when it suits him.
§ . u n s e t t l i n g . Captain Hook is scary. You know it, he knows it, he's not afraid to lean into it. He sharpens up his hook, threatens people with it, grins menacingly. He's not above using that to throw people off their game.
Long before he was known as Captain Hook, Hook was a privateer for the crown. A well educated man who'd grown bored of the confines of the navy, he signed up to fight the Spanish armada, and he was good at it. Those days are a distant memory, and Hook hardly remembers that man anymore. He doesn't remember how he and his crew came to Neverland. Whether they sailed into some sort of portal, or Peter Pan willed them to be there, or some other child telling tales of Neverland needed someone for Pan to fight. Maybe they'd always been there, in some twisted way. In the end, it didn't matter. One moment they were sailing the coast of England, and the next they were coming up on the shores of Neverland.
Fighting children wasn't something Hook was initially interested in, but Peter Pan was always goading him on. Pan wanted a villain to fight and triumph against, and eventually he got Hook to comply with his wishes. Hook couldn't tell you how long he'd been in Neverland. The years went on and on, and he stayed the same, unchanging, just like Peter Pan, unable to age or grow past the phase in his life he'd entered Neverland in. He'd always loved a fight, but as the years passed he grew hungrier for violence, thirstier for blood: to the point that he was threatening and harming his own crew in want of a good fight. Peter Pan always returned, and eventually Hook knew he would have to kill the child if he wanted to be free of his hell.
When Pan fed his hand to the croc, though, it became about more than freedom. It turned into a search for vengeance. Around every corner, something was hunting him. A crocodile with a clock in its belly and a taste for his flesh, a child who refused to grow up and found joy in tormenting him, the ever-changing cast of lost boys who couldn't see that Peter Pan would likely discard them when he grew bored. He was tired. He wanted to kill Peter Pan, and he wanted to take everything he loved from him as well.
It was really no wonder when he captured Wendy. It was always going to come to that, and Pan might have even orchestrated it that way for all he knew. The Captain had no time for the girl, and he was going to send her off the gangplank, but she asked to stay, and Smee- the only person who could get through to Hook anymore- convinced him to let her, but only if she pitched in and did her share. As she grew older, released from Peter's spell, Hook realized he may have made a very good ally against the boy who wouldn't grow up. They never got the chance to kill him, though; the spell to send them into the real world made sure of that.
Ben is from England, and joined the royal Navy right out of university, having always know it was what he wanted to do. A technical issue caused an injury to his hand while out at sea, and while it originally wasn't anything serious, it soon became infected and no matter how hard they fought it, or how many treatments he went through, the infection just kept coming back and festering and just wreaked havoc on his body. He made the decision to amputate, putting an end to his naval career.
After settling in with his new life and growing used to his new limitations he decided to travel a bit. He'd been cooped up for too long, and had nothing tying him down where he was. When he stumbled upon Essex, he absolutely fell in love with the little town and decided to stay. It was a long process, but for the last seven years he's been settled in the sleepy little town (sometimes more lawfully than others), and even opened up a little diner once he was able.
