Name?[]
Any idea where the name for this guy originally came from? Both The LEGO Book and the bio of the Series 8 Pirate Captain refer to him as Ironhook, but that's all I can find. Additionally, a similar character was named in LEGO Mania Magazine; Jake the Snake Blake, a pirate who looks like Ironhook without the peg leg, and with a brown tricorne instead of the captain hat:

So, are Jake and Ironhook the same character with two different names (there's a lot of physical variation in Pirates characters, like Black Jack Hawkins loosing and gaining a peg leg between sets), or are they two separate but similarly designed characters? And, as I said, the only official sources I can find for "Ironhook" are very recent - are there any older sources, like LEGO magazines, that name him this? I think I also heard once that his name came from a set name (Something like Ironhook's Raft), which appears to be 6261 Raft Raiders, but I can't find any alternate names for it, let alone an alternate name indicating the captain is named Ironhook... Regardless, Ironhook seems to be the current official name. I would like to know where it originally came from, though. Jamesster.LEGO (talk) 19:53, 10/8/2012
- Alright, after poking around a bit on the 'net, it looks like he was referred to as Ironhook in the set description for 6264, possibly more sets. Jamesster.LEGO (talk) 15:40, 10/11/2012
