MfCK (I'll call it Mofo:)), in addition to Makhleb, start with a +2 trident and have the best weapon aptitude in the game of any species for any weapon type, +4. The trident is also a very effective weapon: Base damage of 10, Acc +3! and speed of 130!
The one I just started (by accident actually, I was wanting to play Sprint with this class based on suggestion here but ended up in the regular dungeon by keyboard error) has also found a +2 robe of resistance, and I cleared the Chevalier's keep or whatever and found a bunch of glaives of reaching.
The swimming ability is also just icing on the cake - fighting bonuses in water, and of course you can ignore water barriers.
