Scarface

You don't need the catalogue for this one. Deep gouges across the face, heavy scarring down the flanks — decades of encounters written into the skin.¹²

Scarface is a ~4.5-metre male with the longest possible span at the Neptune Islands, though he measures it differently from Imax.³ Imax came back every year for sixteen straight. Scarface skips years — sometimes three or more at a stretch — then reappears.³ His most recent recorded return was spring 2022, after one of those long silences.³⁴ The total span of his association with the islands may rival or exceed Imax's, but the gaps make it harder to pin down.

The scars are useful. Most photo-ID depends on dorsal fin profiles and pigmentation — subtle stuff, requiring careful comparison. Scarface's gouges are unmistakable at a glance, which means he can be confirmed across long absences without ambiguity.² Every return is a clean data point: still alive, still coming back.

Deep gouges and extensive scarring across face and body. Old, well-healed wounds — consistent across all sightings. ~4.5m.²⁴ Immediate visual ID; no detailed photo comparison needed.
