Real World
This character was named after Vlad Tepes the Impaler, famous Romanian leader remembered for brutally impaling his enemies and prisoners. Tsepish comes from Tepes that means "the impaler". This is the same person that inspired the character Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's stories.

Note that in King's Quest Tsepish and Dracula are two separate persons. On the other hand Tsepish is more related to the Headless Horseman.
