I think the most important person in the story is Jim Hawkins, he rescues the treasure map from Blind Pew and his gang, the overhears the plotters while he's getting an apple, he's the narrator of much of the story and not only meets up with Ben Gunn who has the treasure, the moves the Hispaniola where the pirates can't get it.

Captain J. Flint (sometimes also referenced as Josuah or John Flint) was the fictional (?) notorious captain of a Pirate ship, the Walrus, in the novel Treasure Island of the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894).
Flint was responsible for burying an enormous treasure in the fictional West Indies island Skeleton Island, in which he was assisted by six of his crew-members. After the treasure was buried, he murdered all six of them and left the seaman Allardyce with outstretched arms pointing to the location of the treasure.

The location of the treasure was painted into a map that afterwards got into the hands of his helmsman William 'Billy' Bones and later into the hands of the hero of the novel Jim Hawkins.

The only person Flint was said to fear was his quartermaster John Silver, who later even called his parrot Captain Flint in mockery.

Flint is said to have died at an inn in the US-American city of Savannah, the Pirate’s House Inn [1] built in 1734, shouting for "Darby McGraw - fetch aft the rum...". The manner of his death is told in the novel, but it is uncertain whether Flint was created after a real pirate-captain or is just a fiction.

Flint is also mentioned in the novel Peter Pan by J.M Barrie: Here is Bill Jukes, every inch of him tattooed, the same Bill Jukes who got six dozen on the WALRUS from Flint before he would drop the bag of moidores.

In the movie (The Buccaneer) (1958) (with Yul Brynner), whose action takes place during the American-English war around 1812, a character called Capt. Flint (played by Paul Newlan) is also involved.

It is a certainty that Stevenson knew the book A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates (1724) by Captain Charles Johnson and that he used some themes and characters from it.

Although Flint was only rather briefly mentioned in the novel Treasure Island, he was shown several times in film versions of the story.

In Arthur Ransome's book Swallows and Amazons, the Blackett's uncle James Turner is nicknamed Captain Flint by the Swallows. This is because they believed that he looked like a retired pirate and took the name from Treasure Island. He is nearly always referred to by this name in the rest of the books.

Captain Flint also was to be seen in a glimpse in the animated feature-film Treasure Planet by Disney. In this film, the character was known as Nathaniel Flint, a space pirate of non-human origins whose reputation was legendary for leading his ship and crew to plundering merchant ships, infamously appearing and disappearing without a trace, and eventually burying his treasure (called by many 'Flint's Trove' and/or 'the loot of a thousand worlds') inside the giant alien mechanism known as Treasure Planet.
