History[]
Early Life[]
Although not directly shown, Ichabod has mentioned his father a few times between him and others. It is mentioned that he lived quite a fancy lifestyle.[2] He saw potential in his son, and it was his desire for Ichabod to become a professor at Oxford University[1] Once Ichabod left England to fight for the American colonies, he rejected Ichabod and grew estranged.
Legacy[]
It turned out that Ichabod had some unresolved feelings towards his father that may still might be weighing in on him. When entering Purgatory, Ichabod's father was his test of temptation.[3]
