Ten years ago, Captain Spleen was running his first tuna haul on his new rig when Moby Jerk first appeared emerging from the seas below with no other purpose than to make Spleen's day miserable and completely ruin his pride by unleashing a barrage of insults that made Spleen look like a loser in front of his crew. A humiliated Spleen became infuriated and swore vengeance upon Moby Jerk, swearing to Hades that he would slay the beast with his harpoon, but Moby Jerk was completely unfazed and mocked Spleen's petty attempt at revenge before swimming off.
Ever since that day, Spleen has been chasing after Moby Jerk in hopes of revenge.

Moby Jerk is a vile and infuriating individual who enjoys mocking people and making them miserable, showing Spleen no mercy and finding it even more hilarious when he bruised Spleen's ego in front of his crew as they laughed at Spleen's expense. He showed no fear when Spleen threatened to kill him with a harpoon, and instead mocked his feeble attempt, goading him on knowing that Spleen would never succeed.
Trivia[]
