==Appearances==
===Rewritten===
Ahab Ishamel made his first appearance in the season finale, "Hell Bound," when he and the rest of the Toon Council were briefed by Alice Carver and Bradley Wolfe of the extent of the existing Cog Nation and Operation Sever. The power in Toontown Central was suddenly cut, as the Cogs had taken refuge in a Cog building on Loopy Lane, in which they housed the Tog conversion machine. The power source was so great that it was leeching from the Playground. Eileen Irenic, Piggy Pie, Dr. Kilo Byte, and Flippy Flopper volunteered to go. Ahab was silent when asked to go. Mortimer Myles and Paula Behr chastised Flippy for his actions prior to Exodus. Ahab was also angry. The Toons successfully took back the building and shut down Operation Sever. 
===Justice===
Ahab returned in "Aftershock" when he and the Toon Council discussed a plan of attack for a coordinated strike on Cog headquarters. He voted against a funeral for Flippy and received backlash from Eileen Irenic as a result. In "Out in the Darkness," Ahab accompanies his scuba team to the Bay as they dive in search of tunnels. The tunnels are indeed found. Ahab throughout the process exhibits great apathy and frustration toward Eileen. 
On Election Night in "Voice to the Chorus," Ahab was voted out of office by a narrow margin, losing his reelection campaign to Barnacle Barbara. He later attempted to derail the inauguration by helping Mortimer Myles level a scandal against Constance Miller, but this action failed and he was subjected to a trial for his actions, though he and his accomplices settled out of court. Ahab attended the inauguration of his successors and was visibly livid at the proceedings. 
In "Edicts of War," a scuba diver from the mission into the Bay revealed to Constance Miller that the tunnels do in fact lead south and the pictures taken reflect that. Ahab had hidden some of the pictures to prevent the Toon Resistance from escalating the situation. He was immediately arrested and imprisoned with the Togs. Alice Carver castigated him for his cowardice, though he shrugged her off. That same night, he committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell. The reaction to his death was mild, due to his unpopularity. He was given a simple funeral.
