William Smee is a known procurer of hard-to-find objects, he encountered Rumplestiltskin in a bar where he offered to find him a magic bean in exchange for eternal youth, and, after altering the deal, Rumple accepts. However, after finding the bean, Smee is kidnapped by pirate Killian Jones who holds him hostage and uses the magic bean to blackmail Rumple. But soon enough, Rumple murders Killian's true love and cuts off his hand. The pirate then replaces it with a hook, thus becoming Captain Hook, and swears eternal vengeance on Rumplestiltskin with Smee as his right hand man, who vows servitude to his captain when they sail through to Neverland, where they will never age. After the Dark Curse hits, William Smee becomes trapped in the town of Storybrooke, Maine with a new identity, and after the curse is broken, Smee is once again confronted by Rumplestiltskin, who turns him into a rat, thus parting him from his beloved red hat.
