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). Strauss said that 'If the Ice King is Ward's dark side, then Finn, the show’s 16-year-old protagonist, is his light side.' Neil Strauss of Rolling Stone noted that the character bore some similarities to Ward, including his 'Trotsky glasses', his large beard and his strong desire for social interaction. Commenting on the character's sympathetic backstory, he said that he 'enjoy a villain that you fall in love with.' The monologue in which Ice King reveals his tragic past in the third season two-part special 'Holly Jolly Secrets' was written by creative director Patrick McHale. Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time, considered Ice King to be a 'pathetic' character. Kenny said that he approached the character as 'a very real psychopath' who did not fully understand why his actions were wrong. He is voiced by Tom Kenny in the television series. In the short, the protagonists Finn the Human ( Jeremy Shada) and Jake the Dog ( John DiMaggio) fight Ice King to rescue Princess Bubblegum, whom he has kidnapped. The character was first voiced by John Kassir in the short film ' Adventure Time', which introduced the character.
