[#]WritersCoffeeClub 30: Do secondary characters sometimes get promoted to main characters?

In a long enough work, yes—for me it only happens in a series of >3 novels. (Examples abound in the Laundry Files where minor characters in books 1-5 end up with entire novels of their own later on. Arguably, it also happens in the Empire Games follow-on trilogy in the Merchant Princes setting.)
