Simon Petrikov, also known as Ice King in the cartoon "Adventure Time", a major character who is always acting as the main enemy of Finn and Jake in Adventure Time. At the first few episodes or seasons he was already known for kidnapping Princess Bubblegum on a daily or regular basis but if you watched the seasons after that, you will find out about his real personality. In those seasons, he was revealed as a kind-hearted and a misunderstood old man with completely unbalanced morality and social behavior, which also suffers from memory loss and loneliness. This later seasons, shows his tragic past about on how just he was once a good human being named Simon Petrikov who lost his memories, mind and loved one because of the magic crown giving him ice powers. If you look closely to each seasons, it says their that the more Simon wears the magic crown the more he suffers from losing his mind and memories of his love ones.

In the past, before the "Mushroom War". Ice King was a normal, dark-haired human named "Simon Petrikov" who was just studying as an antiquarian ( Has a deep knowledge about ancient artifacts ). He had a fiancee named "Betty", whom he referred as his "princess" and loved so much.

In the "I Remember You" episode. It was revealed there that Ice King was a Archaeology professor and he'd discover the Enchiridion, the ancient text of heroes. This is shown in the newspaper when Marceline shows it to him.

In some event or episode it can be seen that he has purchased a strange type of jewel crown from an old dock worker in the parts of Northern Scandinavia. The moment he heads home and for fun, he put the crown in his head just to make Betty laugh but it caused him to collapse and have some hallucinations. At first those hallucination, he thought it was real but he realized it was just the crown and those were not real.
