OVERVIEW: Ahab is the captain of The Pequod, a Whaling ship Office under the Eight Association, before becoming the leader of its successor, Pequod Town. Obsessed with hunting down the Pallid Whale, she gathered an entire crew of sailors onto her whaling ship, including Ishmael, as they sailed through the Great Lake and the Outskirts. As the ruthless woman who led Ishmael's crewmates to their doom, she is the "bastard" she swore revenge on and became the reason she joined Limbus Company in the first place.

APPEARANCE: Ahab is a tall elderly woman with curly, mid-thigh length greying hair. Like her namesake, she has a black-and-gold peg leg starting from her left knee. She wears a green captain's jacket over an untucked button shirt and darker green pants, one leg of which is tucked into the prosthetic, a crooked captain's hat, white gloves and a thin belt around her midsection. On her back is a harpoon around her height with a narrow, transparent cylinder behind the tip and a loop at the other end. This cylinder contains a small flame, the intensity of which varies. After being trapped in the Pallid Whale, Ahab gains Pallidification membranes across her entire body. Her peg leg also adopts a harpoon-like tip.

PERSONALITY: Ahab is extremely controlling and cunning, and is easily able to manipulate vulnerable and emotional people. Her sole desire, belief obsession and creed is hunting down the Pallid Whale. She is ruthless and will sacrifice her crew and allies to get closer to achieving that wish. Very skilled at gaslighting. Emotionally unstable and believes in her own words and delusions. Considers herself to be the center of the world. Selfish. Will not listen to anyone. Will not bend her will. Guilt-trips others to get her way. Borderline insane.

BACKSTORY: Before the events of the game, Ahab had a ravenous obsession with the Pallid Whale, believing it to be "the source of all evils". Ahab's charisma allowed her to gather a devoutly loyal crew, including Ishmael who had just quite her job at U Corp's Nest. Together, she would force the crew of The Pequod into the Great Lakes, with Ahab never even resting in her mad search for the thing. However, the beast would soon prove too much for the crew and swallows all but Ishmael, the survivor vowing revenge on her. The she and the survivors of The Pequod would soon be slowly pallidified, only stopped thanks to Ahab gaslighting the crew into being devoted for her. Eventually, she would form a community named after her ship, known as Pequod Town with as many other survivors as she could find and brainwash into servitude. All so she could locate and slay the Pallid Whale's weak point; its heart.

ABILITIES: She can wield a harpoon with great proficiency, despite her age and injury. Has great physical capabilities and ability. Is able to manifest an E.G.O, GasHarpoon.

E.G.O: When using GasHarpoon, Ahab's left eye and arm are completely consumed by Pallidification, producing an oversized, biomechanical arm with blue and red veins. Additionally, she loses her captain's hat. Within the shoulder is the flame-bearing cylinder on her harpoon, whereas on her shoulder are three crooked gas pistons, each bearing a monochrome face and ending in a lantern-like element with a luminous gas. Ahab uses these in battle to change the end of her mutated arm; doing so causes the corresponding projection to retract and the gas to transfer into her shoulder. Following her defeat, these projections are snapped off and her shoulder displays its original orange flame. Topmost: Bears Queequeg's face and a purple light. The last to be used, it gave Ahab a massive harpoon that she can fire. Middle: Bears Starbuck's face and a green light. Changes Ahab's arm into tuft of rhomboid blades. Bottom: Bears Pip's face and a blue light. The first to be used, it granted Ahab a floor-length bludgeon.
