Liam and Killian were abandoned by their father, in the middle of the night. They must have considered him a dishonorable coward, from that moment on. They grew up and joined the navy, because they loved the sea.... but did not want to be like their father. The irony was that after Liam died, Killian realized that perhaps pirates were not all bad. Meaning, Hook was truly his father's son, after all that time.
