I think it's fairly obvious that the Iconics should be the characters that are introduced and pictured along with the stats for a class.
In the PHB, this would only be Krusk, Devis, Jozan, etc.
Just cause a character has a picture and a name in a book does NOT make you Iconic.
I consider Naull, Regdar, Kerwyn and Eberk to be window-dressing - just giving multiple takes on certain classes.
There's only ONE Iconic character for each class, with few exceptions. Nebin is explicitly included and statted in the Wizard class section.
Well, that's an interesting point but if that was the case WotC wouldn't have had author T.H. Lain use both Naull and Regdar as main characters in the new Dungeon & Dragon novel, featuring the Iconic characters, called The Savage Caves. That book also features Lidda and Jozan as well. It's a fun read (I'm about half done). Here's what it says on the back of the book.
Between the mountains of the Merciless Range and the tall boughs of the Hellwood lurks a foul presence. Those who approach it, perish. Those who flee it are slain. These are dark times for the citizens of Fairbye, but there is still hope. Four heroes rise to the challenge, determined to save the small hamlet from the clutches of evil.
But will the heroes survive the depths of the savage caves?
Of course, you would have had to known about that (clairvoyance would be a wonderful thing). WotC really should be doing more to promote the new book series.
The second book in the series has also been released - The Livinig Dead. It features Devis and Mialee. Here's what it says on the back of book 2.
Hunting parties from an elven village are mysteriously disappearing. Similar mysteries plague a dwarven settlement on the far side of the mountains. Each side blames the other. Only a band of tried and true heroes can root out what sinister force manipulates these normally peaceful people.
But can they conquer that evil before the tribes go to war?
