Ikov was a mysterious figure in the history of Gielinor, though it is known that he was a prominent follower of Armadyl. A squad of Armadyl Guardians and the Staff of Armadyl are found in his temple, for reason unknown, but, according to Armacus, they are looking for other locations. In the God Letters, when asked about about Armadyl's whereabouts, in his reply Saradomin said that Armadyl "was focusing primarily on the followers of Ikov and how best to assist them". This may imply that Ikov was some kind of high ranking Armadylean, confirmed by Mod Osborne.
