Starbuck

Starbuck is the chief mate aboard the Pequod in Herman Melville's novel *Moby-Dick*, representing cautious reason against Captain Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the white whale.

The name gained wider recognition as the coffee chain Starbucks, reportedly inspired by the character's association with seafaring and the early American coffee trade.

I need my Starbuck's run before work.
