Captain Ironhook

Captain Ironhook 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.Bricks 'n' Pieces Summer 1992 - page 4 However, in the 1993 Japanese LEGO Pirates commercial, Ironhook competes with Redbeard and his crew for the treasure.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2L7uZYqTEA
