   In a general context, Ahab is a character from the Bible, specifically the Old Testament. He was the seventh king of Israel and notably associated with wickedness, largely due to his idol worship and his marriage to the notorious Queen Jezebel. Ahab is also a central character in Herman Melville's novel "Moby-Dick," where Captain Ahab is obsessed with hunting the titular white whale. Hence, the term "Ahab" is often associated with obsession, determination, or wickedness.
