Simon Petrikov was one of the scientists who worked on the evolution computer.
He never trusted it. Before this, he had purchased a certain crown from a man in Scandinavia.
Once, when he was with his fiancee Betty, he put the crown on his head just for a laugh, but he blacked out.
When he woke up, she looked at him with contempt. He had no idea what he had said while he wore it, but he never saw Betty again.
The crown made Simon see strange things nobody else could see. He saw them whether he wore the crown or not, and that is why when he was
working on the computer with the others, he saw a horrifying, ghostly being with skeletal features and two curled horns enter inside of it!
It wanted nothing more than to destroy all life - the crown had told Simon so, and when he tried to warn his fellow scientists, they didn't listen
to him - they thought he was crazy!
"Well, maybe I AM crazy," he spat at them "but no good can come of that machine! Mark my words: that devil computer WILL BE THE END OF
ALL OF YOU!!!" and with that, he stormed out the door, feeling sorry for his foolish friends.
The crown was telling him the secrets of the ice and snow, that it would save him with it's frost, and prevent the computer from affecting him.
Indeed, he would be safe from the computer's transformation, but at the cost of a transformation brought on by the crown itself, and at the
cost of his sanity!
When the computer released the chemicals, some people became made of sugar and became part candy, some became lumpy and uncaring,
and some even burst into flames, becoming fire-people.
Simon's skin had turned blue, and his hair had turned gray (the crown did these things to him).
He saw what the vile computer had done, and knew he had to stop it - for all those he cared about, including a little girl with pointy ears and
small fangs. Her name was Marceline Abadeer, and she had a very bad father, but it was thanks to his demon D.N.A. in her that she was
unaffected by the computer.
Under the control of the evil being, the computer had it's robots begin construction on a weapon called The Great Mushroom Bomb. Once
deployed, it would speed up the mutation process, and bring back the magic that had been gone from the world centuries before.
Simon knew he had to destroy the computer before this happened, and before he lost his mind!
So we have three characters: Simon, Marceline, and the being controlling the computer - The Lich King.
