Piloting his ship

History[edit]

Ico was born before the Recreance.[1] At some point he became captain of a ship, and around 1174, Ico and his crew picked up Kaladin, Shallan, Adolin, Sylphrena, Pattern, Vivenna, and Mayalaran from Riino's lighthouse and gave them passage to Celebrant.[3][2] Captain Ico used their Stormlight to power a hydrator, which used a bead of ice to produce water for the humans to drink.[2][4] He and his crew also sold the humans clothing to wear. He refused to take them either to Thaylen City or to Cultivation's Perpendicularity; Celebrant was as far west as he was willing to go because of the stories of ships vanishing and of other trouble to the east. Ico advised the group that they should stay in Shadesmar, claiming that the Physical Realm was not a pleasant place at the moment.[1]

During the scheduled inspection of his ship in Celebrant, Captain Ico was questioned by one of the Fused. The Fused, Kyril, accidentally set Ico's ship on fire when he was trying to scare him into giving information on the humans. He picked Ico up and dropped him onto the docks while the rest of the crew fled the burning ship.[4]

Family[edit]

Ico has a father who is a deadeye. He keeps him locked in a room in the cargo hold of his ship to keep him from wandering the decks and falling overboard in search of the human carrying his corpse.[1]

Ico also has a daughter who used to work at a currency exchange in Celebrant. He says that she "ran off chasing stupid dreams."[1] It is possible that this could be Timbre.
