Au contraire, I shall be quite content to let the minor works characters be once Alf has departed. And, despite being a minor works character, Alf can hardly be described as a minor character. That's what makes it so awful that he is so bland and featureless.

Uh? Character? Wonderful? Alf? Sorry, does not compute. You are surely thinking of someone else.

Ah yes. I think that you must be. In what way does Alf have a rags to riches story? He was King of Faerie, for goodness sake. Can't get much more aristocratic than that. And I like my aristocrats (and my Faerie inhabitants) to have character. Merry has more in his little finger than Alf.
