Crown and money absorbing a wicked Biblical King, a tragic character (7,4)
I believe the answer is:
captain ahab
'crown and money absorbing a wicked biblical king a tragic character' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'crown and money absorbing a wicked biblical king a tragic character' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'crown' could be 'cap' (synonyms) and 'cap' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'king' could be 'ahab' (I've seen this before) and 'ahab' is found in the answer.
'character' could be 't' and 't' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for captain ahab that I've seen before include "Vengeful sailor" , "Moby Dick's hunter" , "Moby-Dick mariner" , "Tyrannical whaler" .)
