Yes, good catch. My mistake. I should have said "He's not really part of the main cast of the book". It was a cameo appearance. A good one, granted, but even so, it doesn't make him a part of the cast. If he had been appearing consistently for the preceding eight months or so, I wouldn't be making this argument.

Did he? I missed that. Alright, so maybe. I think, though, that he'd be reticent to take it up full-time. I could be wrong, though.
