Etymology
The spelling of his first name varies across translations, however, the English release uses the spelling 'Ijekiel' as it was written as such in Episode 90 by Spoon in the Korean release.[5]
- Ijekiel is recognized by its more notable form of spelling “Ezekiel”, a masculine name derived from the Hebrew language and means "God's Strength."[6]
- Ezekiel is a major prophet of the Old Testament and the author of the Book of Ezekiel. He lived in Jerusalem until the Babylonian conquest and captivity of Israel, at which time he was taken to Babylon. The Book of Ezekiel describes his vivid symbolic visions that predict the restoration of the kingdom of Israel.[7]
- Alpheus is a biblical, masculine name of Hebrew origin, meaning "successor".[8]
- Alphaeus (from the Greek: Ἀλφαῖο) is a man mentioned in the New Testament as the father of two of the Twelve Apostles, namely James and Levi. He is implied to be the father of Joseph or Joses and in Church tradition, he is the father of Abercius and Helena.[9]
Trivia
- Spoon states Ijekiel is portrayed as a strong and just image, however, he appears soft because his eyes are drawn down. Despite that, he looks like a person who is self-assertive.[10]
- Ijekiel has four friends named Cabel, Eugene, Enrich and Hari, all who he met at his boarding school in Arlanta. His friends are main characters of another one of Plutus’ novel named ‘Beware of the Brothers’ which is connected to and takes places in the Who Made Me a Princess universe. They make a brief cameo alongside Ijekiel in the manhwa.[11]
- Ijekiel fell in love with Athanasia in both timelines.[12]
