Ico is a Lightspren and captains a Reacher ship.[1]

Appearance & Personality

Ico has metallic bronze skin and looks human. He's shorter than an Alethi and sturdily built. He wears tan coloured human clothing which has many buttoned pockets.[1]

Ico is a spren of very few words, very brusk and speaks his mind. He's kind enough to give Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Sylphrena, Pattern, Vivenna and Mayalaran passage to Celebrant and is helpful in explaining some things to his human passengers such as the currency in shadesmar, how stormlight works in shadesmar[1] and deadeye spren.[2] He gets exasperated at times but he is understanding and practical. He believes humans cannot be trusted with Oaths and says as much, but grows embarrassed when he realizes that this was rude.

History

Ico was very old by human standards, old enough that his father died during the Recreance. He kept his father locked in a room in his cargo hold so he wouldn't wander overboard in search of the human who had his corpse.[2]

Captain Ico picked up the Radiants and their team from the lighthouse, giving them passage to Celebrant. He gave Kaladin a device that contained a soul of ice so that there will be water for the humans to drink.[1] He gave Adolin clothing to wear and remarked that he looks like a Honorspren going to a party. He refused to take them to Cultivation's Perpendicularity because ships that travel there had not returned lately. Before they parted ways he told the team that they should stay in Shadesmar as the Physical Realm was not a pleasant place at the moment. [2]

During the scheduled inspection of his ship in Celebrant, Captain Ico was questioned by one of the Fused. While it was not known what has been said, the Fused carelessly set Ico's ship on fire in anger, probably because he discovered Ico has given the Radiants passage.[3]
