While Hook wished to leave the island to follow in his late father’s footsteps as an admiral, Peter wanted to stay. A violent encounter with the Neverland Crocodile led to Peter accidentally severing Hook's hand while trying to save his bag. After crafting a proper hook for his arm, James discovered an admission letter to Merlin Academy, which his father had applied to before his passing, and used a spell to transport himself there. Merlin Academy Era As a student, Hook was a member of Uliana's villainous gang. He routinely participated in intimidation tactics, such as mocking Bridget. His fear of authority kept him in check around Principal Merlin, knowing that maintaining a good reputation was essential for the villains' freedom at the school. However, his involvement in a scheme to steal the Sorcerer's Cookbook from Merlin’s office ultimately led to him and his co-conspirators being magically petrified as a punishment. The Isle of the Lost Later in life, Hook was imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost, where he raised four children. Over time, he conquered his notorious phobia of crocodiles, famously putting his head between the jaws of Tick Tock just to make Evie laugh at a birthday party. He later operated a local business and hosted competitive races on the island, offering his ship, the Lost Revenge, as the ultimate prize.
