Ice King is probably the most fascinating character in Adventure Time, as he is probably the character that is the most connected to the lore of the series, and is basically the result of tragedy that occurred before the apocalypse that created the land of Ooo. It's interesting, though, because even though Ice King is quite a tragic character, he is still written as a funny character. That's normally the style of the show, being depressing and dark but still funny. Ice King is also interesting because he was originally only written as this insane wizard that would be a regular villain and general nuisance. As the show developed, though, they eventually thought of new ideas that made him into a deeper and sympathetic character, that actually worked well in the story. There was a lot of weight added to the series since they developed the lore over time, and Ice King going from a quirky villain to a deep character was one of those aspects that developed the series from what was originally just meant as a dumb kid's show to the much more intense series that it became today.
