What's his endgame?

Probably formed from a combination of well intentioned efforts from different sources.

>Magic Betty messes with it again.
>Life Giving Magi gets the bright idea to touch it. The crown runs off, but Simon would still be Ice King.
>Time to catch the crown.
>Finn/PB convinces the humans to connect to the crown and download Simon (and the others) out of the crown.
>Unforseen consequences.
>For whatever reason one of the jewels gets removed. Maybe it's neccessary, maybe it was stolen.
>Simon gets a robot body, and the crown turns itself into it's own host, flies away to never be seen for the rest of the series.

It's missing a jewel/eye.
So either that fucked with the crown eventually, or somebody recently gouged it out to open up a portal using a recreated Enchiridion.

Hey wait a minute, the nose looks like a sword...

Could it be Fern?

Simon permanently merged with the crown and will be a slave to it forever.

Does anything confirm that this is Simon?

We know that anyone who wears the crown long enough takes on the physical properties of its original owner. Couldn't this be some other sad son of a bitch?

It is probably just a bird or something. Hence why it's only a flying beard. There is not enough body mass to fully transform the wearer

Gunter?

Death said something about Simon being bound to live with the crown until the sun explodes.

>>89499740
If I had to guess it's the crown itself, perhaps what happens when it doesn't have a wearer for too long.

Death said Simon is going to be Ice King until the sun dies.
