Captain Mordecai Barrows

Captain Mordecai Barrows is a character of the book The Harpooned Heart by Marge Simpson. He is inspired by Homer.

At first, he was depicted as a caring husband and successful whaler, but Homer's behaviour made Marge change the character.

History
Captain Mordecai Barrows is very slobbish, uncaring and drunk whaler who lives on Kantucket with his two children and wife Temperance Barrows.

When Mordecai finds out relationship between Temperance and Cyrus Manley, he corners Cyrus on top of a cliff and throws his harpoon on him. Cyrus falls down on a whale, but the harpoon's rope becomes wrapped around Mordecai's leg, dragging him under the sea to die with his enemy.
