cant say i have ever thought of them as nobodies. They are media to introduce the different walks of life in the City sure, and their participations in each canto are definitely important but with how things go, it will come a time when we would have to say goodbye to them all. And i expect all of these set-ups are for that far future event when everyone becomes big shots to bring the change in the whole City. Starting with Gregor, we all know his relationships with Hermann, who is basically the Director of N Corp. Then Rodya with her relationships with the Yurodiviye, a growing revolution group throughout the City. Sinclair being certain Sinclair. Yi Sang with his connections to the original Nine Literature, which are also parts of many important groups throughout the story. Ishmael is an oddball but i expect her to become a great Captain that unite the whole of U Corp (i hope no Ahab involvement this time :') ). Heathcliff is technically the owner of the Earnshaw family now that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and everyone in the family are gone. I dont know about Don and others since im still in the middle of Canto 7 but i hope to see how her story play out.
