Simon soon became disassociated from his original identity to the point that his only reaction to watching a video of his past was an embarrassment at the idea of having once worn glasses. His species/race was Wizard according to the writers. He is no longer considered a human the power of the crown not only twisted his mind but his body as well. As his mind and body became further twisted by the crown, Simon thought himself "too far gone" to find an escape from its influence, though he hoped that he could one day regain his sanity enough so that Betty, his "princess," would come back and love him again. His condition worsened after his fiancée Betty was spirited into his future, which played a role in his subconscious need for princesses. It taught him the secrets of the "ice and snow," so he would survive the Mushroom War, as it did for Farmworld Finn in " Finn the Human." However, in the same episode, Farmworld Finn mentioned the crown's "promise of power," implying the crown's seductive nature and negative influence.Īs time passed, Simon began to lose his mind as he began to wear the crown, deteriorating in both mind and body over the years into his current state. It could be implied that the crown he wore only sought to protect him.
He did this in an attempt to arrange a new caretaker for Marceline in his place, someone who he believed would not leave in the manner he did. Before this, using an unknown method, he contacted and summoned Marceline's biological father, the demon Hunson Abadeer into the land of Ooo from the Nightosphere. Fearing for her safety at what he was becoming, Simon left Marceline before losing his sanity. Later on, from at least 2-3 years from that point, Simon ultimately left Marceline after the filming of his final video diary, which Marceline watched him record. Despite this setback, Simon found Marceline chicken soup and helped her feel better. Simon also used the crown to protect Marceline from dangerous creatures left over from the mushroom war. In " Sky Witch," Marceline is reunited with Hambo after Princess Bubblegum managed to swap it with Maja in exchange for the shirt Marceline gave her. Marceline described Hambo to Ash as her "favorite thing in the world." She was seen alone with a worn-out version of the stuffed toy when Finn and Jake visited her memories in " Memory of a Memory," possibly several years after Simon gave it to her. This toy would eventually become Marceline's most precious possession, Hambo, which she would keep and cherish until it was sold to Maja the Sky Witch by her ex-boyfriend, Ash. He gave her a stuffed doll from a toy shop destroyed in the conflict to comfort her. Simon never heard or saw Betty ever again and began to record himself on VHS tape so people would know his story.Īround the time of the Mushroom War and before losing his sanity, he found a young Marceline crying in the wreckage. Simon had no recollection of what he had said or done while wearing the crown, though it was enough to frighten away his fiancée. He "fought with … shouted at them until realized it wasn't real-it was the crown." After bringing the crown home, he put it on his head to make Betty laugh, but the crown caused him to blackout and experience odd visions. This is shown in a newspaper clipping that Marceline shows him in the episode "I Remember You." The newspaper heading reads, "Simon Petrikov Unearths Ancient Treasure," and was written by the journalist Bruce Guese.Īt some point in his career, he purchased a strange jeweled crown from an old dock worker in Northern Scandinavia. In " I Remember You," it is revealed that Ice King was a Professor of Archaeology and had discovered the ancient text of heroes, the Enchiridion, during an expedition to the Hindu Kush mountain range. He had a young fiancée named Betty Grof, whom he referred to as his "princess" and loved dearly. Sometime before the Mushroom War, Ice King was a normal, olive-skinned, dark-haired human named Simon Petrikov who was studying to be an antiquarian (a specialist in the knowledge of ancient artifacts).
