The singular person standing between the two sculptures on the Ildjarn album cover is Ildjarn (Vidar Våer), who Ihsahn provided session vocals for in 1993.

Ildjarn is the one who took these two iconic pictures of Ihsahn, Samoth and Faust, also at the same place as Ildjarn's album cover: Patmos Sculpture Park in Akkerhaugen, Norway. Taken in 1992. Bård says it's his favourite picture from this era.
