Ahab is a sailor drinking at the Rusty Anchor Inn in Port Sarim. He yells at anyone when they touch his beer which is uniquely called Ahab's beer.

After a long conversation he will ask if the player has a boat he could have (requiring the completion of Dragon Slayer I). The player will then say no and Ahab will become sad.

Trivia

  • Ahab's name is a reference to Captain Ahab, a character in the novel Moby-Dick.
  • His examine alludes to the lyrics of a famous sea shanty.
  • When you look at his feet one is moving while the other isn't. This is because one of his feet is wooden.
