Who murdered his wife and thus caused the house to become haunted with the shade of his wife and all those he had ever harmed, leading him to commit suicide. in the haunted mansion (back when it was envisioned as a walk through attraction not a ride) he was going to be the (deceased) owner of the creepy mansion, a sea captain with an interest in the supernatural and the bizzare. a character that was originally going to be a key part of both the Haunted Mansion and the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at DisneyLand, but which ultimately went unused. If it had to be a disney character (which it probably won t be), i'd rather they took one from disney's unused concepts. that a mundane human captain would be able to intimidate and command them seems a little unlikely. the others are psychopomps, the undead, sorcerors, and the rulor of a non-human civilization. the only other mundane human in the group is Duke, and he's basically just the commander of some of the minions. he also would be kinda out of place, as a regular mundane human alongside magically powerful and often non-human members of the dark Brethren. even in works like the Hook film and in Return to Neverland where he was used as a more proactive villain than in the first Peter Pan film. but Disney's version of Hook is generally perceived as more of a melodramatic buffoon than a serious and dangerous threat. the PotC setting is a grim one with violence and death, so fits well enough into the SoT style. mostly because Hook is so tied into the disney Peter Pan material that it could face tone clash if they brought him in. While it certainly would be possible, and might be interesting, i kinda hope that it isn't. Like Davy Jones said in the final chapter, "We are at war!" it could mean that once James Hook sees the veil between the Sea of the Damned and the Land of the Living is broken, he will sail with all haste, like it says in the letter to Jones, possibly with an army of the Dark Brethren at his command to attack both the Pirate Lord, and Flameheart with his son! This could be an all out war Tall Tale. Hook wants an Ultimate War? Trapped in the Sea of the Damned? Meaning, Hook still has plans for Jones along with the other members of the court. Instead of Cutler Beckett, Davy Jones now serves Captain Hook and does his bidding, even though he is imprisoned by the Ferryman, he technically isn't dead since the heart was not in the Dead Man's Chest. And so he is trapped in a land where pirates die and live again. and made him a Skeleton Lord, which explains why he hates them, even though he's one of them, because he cannot die, and was denied true death, if he were defeated, he'd just come back. James Hook may have drank the same chalice that cursed Flameheart Jr. This one apart from my previous theory on Jolly Roger being the Cap'n would be an amazing twist if we get James Hook from that Robin Williams film, "Hook", to actually be the leader of the Dark Brethren Court.
