Ice King

1000 years ago, Simon Petrikov was an archaeologist and antiquarian who specialized in supposedly supernatural artifacts. He had been studying the Enchiridion, the ancient book of heroes, when he bought a magic crown from a Scandinavian fisherman. Putting on the crown for a joke, Simon began his transformation into the being who would come to be known as the Ice King, the latest in a long line of the crown’s wearers. Not long after Simon acquired the crown, the world as it had been known was destroyed in the Great Mushroom War, leaving much of the land desolate and mutating many of the survivors. Simon, being driven slowly insane by the crown, found Marceline, a young girl he swore to care for and protect. After totally losing his mind and memories to the crown, Ice King struck out on his own, created his Ice Kingdom, and attempted to kidnap princesses from all over Ooo, often being stopped by his frenemies Jake the Dog and Finn the Human.
