Captain of whaler the Pequod in 1851 Herman Melville novel Moby-Dick (4)

I believe the answer is:

ahab

(Other definitions for ahab that I've seen before include "Fictional whaler" , "Name of captain seeking Moby Dick" , "Ancient king of Israel" , "Melville's Captain" , "sea captain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
