Jenkins is captain of a ship named the Milka, with which he runs various nefarious cargoes in and out of any port he can. His boat has smuggling compartments and a notorious crew, including his first mate Mr Scoplett. Jenkins has his comeuppance when he tangles with Commander Sam Vimes, who takes command of his boat, strips it of everything weighty (including lifeboats, anchors, cargo...) and chases after 71-hour Ahmed in it.
The captain is renowned for carrying cargoes that are a bit off - cabbages full of caterpillars, offal going a bit green, that sort of thing. However, he probably took it a bit too far when he was caught taking a hold full of crossbows to Klatch during the build-up to war in Jingo.
In the game Discworld Noir, he stays at the Café Ankh when he arrives Ankh-Morpork. He helps Lewton by giving him some clues when interrogated.
