History

Throughout The Series
Season 2
Icy Bob is first introduced in Season 2 during the Rebel Army's storming of Big Alice. He pushes back single-handedly, injuring numerous Tailees bare-handed, before eventually cutting them off from the second train by venting cold air from the outside into a car. He is able to survive the cold due to his synthetic skin grafts.
He is seen several times throughout the 2nd season receiving more surgery and testing in the cold-lock from the Doctors. He shows kindness to Josie by teaching her how to deal with a panic attack while they're both in the infirmary. He later asks for Josie's anaesthetic pills after she didn't take them during a surgery.
He is last seen returning from his sabotage of Snowpiercer's engine walking atop the train without an EVA suit, only to collapse once he is indoors. Wildford places a pin in his hand, appearing to be dying.
