Killian lived in the land aproximately 300 years prior to everyone else (except Rumple).

He spent most of that time in Neverland.

His only time in FTL was his Early life (up until he fled to Neverland after his second encounter with Rumple), right before the First Curse (when he came back to look for the Dagger and ended up being recruited by the Mills family). and the Missing Year (or what ever you want to call the time between the first and second curses when everyone is in FTL again).

If his hookup was in Neverland, then the person he encounted almost had to be Ursula, 1 because of the Mermaid population, and 2 She is the only one of the 3 Queens that I see having the ability to travel between realms easily enough.

If his hookup was in the Early life before Neverland, chances are high that it is Ursula, being a Goddess-type figure that has supposedly been around for a thousand years or more. It could also be Maleficent, assuming that she is also the Black Fairy, as we know that Blue was also around at the time, and it would not be inconceivable that the Black Fairy would be around as well.

Now, if the encounter happened either at the point that Killian returned from Neverland to FTL, or during the Missing Year, then it could be any of the three ladies, and I can come up with scenerios for each one, particularly given their own opinions of Rumple at that time.

BOttom line, here's my odds for who Hook has a History with:

1. Ursula - 95%

2. Maleficent - 4%

3. Cruella - 1 % WOAH! Overload!!!!!

Ursula does seem pretty much a given, but if we know A&E, we know they will most likely surprise us. One thing to consider is: Was Mal being plain old murderous when Killian tumbled into her cave in S2, or was it because she knew who he was (and he knew who she was) and she did not like him? Tragic backstory time perhaps?????
