Captain Ironhook is a minifigure introduced in 1993. He is the second main Pirates captain in the LEGO Pirates theme.
Description[]
Captain Ironhook wears a ripped-up red shirt and a black belt over his bright yellow torso, with a dagger tucked into the belt. He wears a black tricorne with a Jolly Roger printing and usually wears black pants, although he wears bright blue pants in 1873 Pirates Treasure instead. He has a grey hook hand and, in some sets, he also has an earth orange peg leg. He shares his face with Captain Redbeard, featuring the same red beard and eyepatch. Exclusively in 1788 Treasure Chest, he has blue epaulets.
Background[]
According to Bricks 'n' Pieces magazine, Captain Ironhook is an old friend of Captain Redbeard and is called in to help the latter steal Admiral Woodhouse's treasure.[1] However, in the 1993 Japanese LEGO Pirates commercial, Ironhook competes with Redbeard and his crew for the treasure.[2]
Ironhook and his pirates were the first to encounter the Islanders. He also appears in the LEGO Pirates audio drama Piratensegel am Horizont (English version of transcript available here).
