"It sounds like you use you're glib personality as an excuse an shield against some, terrible, terrible things you've experienced son." - Ichabod speaking to Chip about his emotional state.
Ichabod is an Eldritch Knight Fighter and Ranger multiclass. As a guest character, he was played from Episode 68: A Stranger at Sea to Episode 68 pt. 2: The Greatest Form of Flattery by Jonah Scott.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Ichabod is a human man with sunburnt skin and green eyes. He has a mustache and goatee on his face and has very pointed, sharp features. He is described as carrying himself with a very charismatic energy that is not sexual but rather parental. He is comparable to "your dad's friend".
He wears a black leather duster and a small cowboy hat with a green feather (that he often keeps tied at his side with a rope), as well as black linen pants, wraps around his body in place of a shirt, and brown and black boots with spurs on the heels that reach his calves. His clothing is notably salt crusted from drifting at sea for a prolonged period.
Personality[]
Ichabod carries himself in a confident and even bold manner. He seems intelligent and cautious, behaving warily at first upon meeting Chip, Jay and Gillion but relaxing the moment he processed that they were not threats.
Ichabod is highly insightful, seeing through Chip's lies about sleeping alright and directly confronting him about it, asking if he was alright and commenting that he looked horrified.
Background/History[]
Ichabod is from the Western Sea, aka the Horsea. He was previously part of a ship known as The Nubachudnezzar. He says that he is an emissary and noble.
He had a "mission" to bring a peace offering to the "people of the ocean" in the Undersea, specifically Liquidus (a city powered entirely by water, in his words). Gillion, despite being from the Undersea, is unfamiliar with the city. Ichabod says that he was aiming to take "black sand" (gunpowder) to the people there as both a peace offering to become allies, and in exchange for information and such. He later relays to Jay exclusively that the Horseans are seeking to become allies with the Undersea people in order to find a way to "go to space".
It should be noted that he seems "familiar" to Drey Ferin, but as of now the details of why are not known. It is possible that Ichabod is the "cowboy" character Drey spoke about that he met after the events of the Hole in The Sea.
When the Riptide Pirates reach Liquidus, Ichabod stays behind. He gives Oliver the feather in his hat before leaving.
