That's why the smartest thing season two has done is make Serena Joy its deuteragonist, something "Smart Power" amply underlines.

There's a possibility that deuteragonist Julia might take up his mantle, but show show offers no logic regarding why she should even have to.

The phone belongs to Mr. Robot deuteragonist Darlene, who first chews you out for stealing it and then conscripts you into her hacker collective, while other characters unwittingly send you messages meant for her.

At least the clue lent itself to expecting the JR in BOWSER JR, and at least the character in question is a major one (described as the "deuteragonist" of a Super Mario subplot called "Super Mario Logan," I gather).

In literature, the deuteragonist or secondary main character (from , deuteragōnistḗs, second actor) is the second most important character, after the protagonist and before the tritagonist.Bartleby.com (2006). Deuteragonist The deuteragonist may switch between supporting and opposing the protagonist, depending on the deuteragonist's own conflict or plot.

The first actor was the protagonist, the second the deuteragonist, and the third the tritagonist.

In literature, the deuteragonist often assumes the role of "sidekick" to the protagonist. In Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the protagonist is Huck and the deuteragonist, his constant companion, is Jim. In this story the tritagonist would be Tom Sawyer.Dr. L. Kip Wheeler (2006).

The deuteragonist could have played the nurse, Jason, and messenger, with the tritagonist playing the tutor, Creon, and Aegeus.

Because Ancient Greek drama involved only three actors (the protagonist, deuteragonist, and tritagonist) plus the chorus, each actor often played several parts. For instance, in Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, the protagonist would be Oedipus, who is on stage in most acts, the deuteragonist would be Jocasta (Oedipus' mother and wife), and the tritagonist would play the Shepherd and Messenger. This would be because Jocasta is certainly a major role--acting opposite Oedipus many times and occupying a central part of the story--and because the Shepherd and Messenger are onstage when Jocasta is offstage.Wayne S. Turney (2006).

Literary Vocabulary Conversely, the deuteragonist could also be a particularly visible antagonist, normally whom the actual antagonist hides behind. In some cases, the deuteragonist is a sidekick who is also used as a foil for the protagonist, in order to more greatly enhance the powers or strengths of the main character. Dr. John Watson, for example, in the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is an educated and intelligent gentleman of professional standing, and yet his own intelligence is of too rigid a stance to embrace fully the kind of possibilities of which the more maverick Sherlock Holmes is capable.

There is also a claim that the poet did not assign or create the protagonist as well as other terms for actors such as deuteragonist and tritagonist primarily because he only gave actors their appropriate part. However, these actors were assigned their specific areas at the stage with the protagonist always entering from the middle door or that the dwelling of the deuteragonist (second most important character) should be on the right hand, and the tritagonist (third most important character), the left. In Ancient Greece, the protagonist is distinguished from the term "hero", which was used to refer to a human who became a semi-divine being in the narrative.

The part of the tritagonist emerged from earlier forms of two-actor drama. Where two actors only allowed for a principal character and their adversary, moving the part of adversary to a third actor (the tritagonist) allowed for the second actor (the deuteragonist) to play roles as a confidant or aide to the principal character, and thereby elicit greater character depth from the principal character by having the protagonist explain their feelings and motivations to an on-stage listener. As Ancient Greek theater recitations were partly melodic, the role of the tritagonist would typically go to a performer with a voice in the bass range (as compared to the protagonist as tenor and the deuteragonist as baritone).A History of Theatrical Art, Mantzius (1903).

Each submitted three tragedies, plus a satyr play (a comic, burlesque version of a mythological subject). Beginning in a first competition in 486 BC each playwright submitted a comedy. Aristotle claimed that Aeschylus added the second actor (deuteragonist), and that Sophocles introduced the third (tritagonist). Apparently the Greek playwrights never used more than three actors based on what is known about Greek theatre.

In literature, the tritagonist or tertiary main character (from , tritagōnistḗs, third actor) is the third most important character of a narrative, after the protagonist and deuteragonist. In ancient Greek drama, the tritagonist was the third member of the acting troupe. As a character, a tritagonist may act as the instigator or cause of the sufferings of the protagonist. Despite being the least sympathetic character of the drama, they occasion the situations by which pity and sympathy for the protagonist are excited.
