Captain J. Hook is modelled after king Charles II as the book states, wearing full 17th century attire including a beautifully decorated cloak hand gilded in 22 carat gold. The hook is skilfully crafted in solid silver by a specialist jeweller.
Using specific lines from the story every aspect of his character and features have been included. He is depicted looking almost lonely and weak as he is afraid that the crocodile who has eaten his right hand and is coming back for the left one. Even specific detail such as the colour of his eyes ''of the blue of forget me not's and as soft as periwinkle'' has been tackled.
