* AdaptationalBadass: To go with his handsome new looks, this Ichabod has gone from a superstitious coward, to a centuries old {{Badass}}.
* AgentMulder
* BadassBookworm: Ichabod was a history professor before he was conscripted.
* TheChosenOne: Ichabod believes that he and Abbie are the two witnesses foretold in the Book of Revelation.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Ichabod is at least a foot taller than Abbie.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater
* SealedGoodInACan: Basically what happened to Ichabod--his blood mixed with the Horseman's when he cut off his head, linking them, so Katrina had to put Ichabod in a sort of stasis to keep the Horseman sealed in its own can. However, its awakening caused Ichabod to awaken as well.

* BigBad
* HeadlessHorseman: Obviously.
* HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: The Horseman is interpreted as one of them (Death, specifically).
* OffWithHisHead: Crane himself relieves the Horseman of his head in this interpretation. The Horseman inflicts in on many other victims throughout.
* ProphetEyes: The Horseman had these when he had a head. [[spoiler: The head itself still has them]].
* SealedEvilInACan: The Horseman has been locked in a chained up coffin at the bottom of a river for the last 250 years, but now has been unleashed again by the Demon.
* WeakenedByTheLight: The Horseman is burned by sunlight. Hence why he only appears at night.
