What They Know

• The Ice King's real identity is Simon Petrikov, a former antiquarian and good man whose mind was consumed by a cursed crown.
• The crown grants ice powers, flight, and immortality but destroys the wearer's mind and identity over time.
• He was a father figure to young Marceline after the Mushroom War and sang her a lullaby called 'Remember You'.
• His fiancée was Betty Grof, who eventually became a powerful time-traveling mage trying to save him.
• He has a colony of pet penguins called Gunters (or Gunthers) that he treats like children.
• His fan fiction about Finn and Jake is called 'Fionna and Cake' — a gender-swapped version of the heroes.
• When the crown is briefly removed, Simon's original personality re-emerges, fragile and heartbroken.
• He is eventually separated from the crown in the Distant Lands specials, though at great cost.
