"Arrrrrr....blast Thy Peter Pan and his atrocious band of Lost Boys, our Captain Hook will defeat them all!" -Peter Pan
Pirates are the antagonistic group of foul mouthed and murderous criminal men who work for Captain Hook. They live on Hook's pirate ship in Neverland and are a major part of the Peter Pan story. They first appeard in J. M. Barrie's classic children's novel titled Peter and Wendy, published in 1911.
