- "I am Yakone, the Inuit. The whale you have killed... was terrorizing my people. You have liberated us. And now you will have my help until my last breath."
- ―Yakone to Alonzo Batilla, 1716.[src]
Yakone was an old Inuit fisherwoman, and later a member of the pirate Alonzo Batilla's crew.
In December 1716, Alonzo travelled to the North Atlantic with the intent of killing a legendary white whale. After being struck by harpoons four times, the whale fled. At this moment, Yakone appeared, instructing the pirate to follow her in order to find the whale again. Eventually, Alonzo was confronted by the pirate hunter Alvaro, who had come to kill him.
After sinking Alvaro's ship and killing the pirate hunter, Alonzo returned to Yakone. Shortly after, the whale appeared. Landing four harpoon strikes, Alonzo killed the whale. Grateful for the death of the whale, Yakone revealed that it had been terrorizing her community.
She then swore an oath to serve the pirate unto her death. Among the crew, Yakone took charge of the intendancy, allowing the ship to carry more supplies.
