| - Ichabod is a contemporary mundane archivist who helped Dor find the correct time period where Trent and Iris went to in mundane history. He became friends with Arnolde and has traveled to Xanth on several occasions. He now lives in Xanth permanently.
- Ichabod was born sometime after Thaegan returned to Deltora from the Barrier Mountains. His father, if there was one, is unknown. Ichabod and his twelve siblings roamed Deltora's northeast, terrorising the countryside.
- Ichabod (which means "no glory") was the name that Phineas' wife had given her child when she was dying upon giving him birth in 1st Samuel chapter 4. The news that the Ark of the Covenant had been taken by the Philistines caused such grief with both her and her father-in-law Eli (who fell off his seat and broke his neck earlier upon hearing the news) that upon her death she named her son Ichabod, saying, "The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken."
- Ichabod (אִי כָבוֹד meaning inglorious in Hebrew) is named by the Books of Samuel as the brother of Ahitub. Ichabod is also identified by the Books of Samuel as having been the son of Phinehas, and as having been born on the day that the Ark was taken into Philistine captivity. His mother went into labour due to the shock of hearing that her husband and father-in-law died and the Ark had been captured. The identity and name of his mother is not given, and she is said to have died shortly after having given birth to him, and having named him.

| - Ichabod is a contemporary mundane archivist who helped Dor find the correct time period where Trent and Iris went to in mundane history. He became friends with Arnolde and has traveled to Xanth on several occasions. He now lives in Xanth permanently.

- Ichabod (אִי כָבוֹד meaning inglorious in Hebrew) is named by the Books of Samuel as the brother of Ahitub. Ichabod is also identified by the Books of Samuel as having been the son of Phinehas, and as having been born on the day that the Ark was taken into Philistine captivity. His mother went into labour due to the shock of hearing that her husband and father-in-law died and the Ark had been captured. The identity and name of his mother is not given, and she is said to have died shortly after having given birth to him, and having named him. In the masoretic version of the Books of Samuel, his name is said to be a reference to the fact that the glory is departed from Israel, either in reference to the death of his father, or of Eli, or a reference to the loss of the Ark. The Septuagint, however, states that his name was a complaint: woe to the glory of Israel. The Codex Vaticanus Graecus 1209 refers to him as ouai barchaboth, i.e. as I Bar Chabod - I, son of Chabod or No, son of Glory. According to textual scholars, this section of the Book of Samuel, the sanctuaries source, derives from a fairly late source compared with other parts, and hence this justification of his name may simply be a folk etymology. While Ichabod is barely mentioned in the current text of the Hebrew Bible, the fact that Ahitub is referred to as the brother of Ichabod, rather than as son of Phinehas (or of anyone else), has led textual scholars to suspect that Ichabod was once seen as a far more significant individual, although the reasons for his importance are no longer known. Some scholars have argued that Ichabod may be the historic figure underlying the biblical Jacob, having first concluded that both Jacob and Ichabod are corruptions of Jochebed/Jocabod, meaning yahweh is the [divine] glory.
