So, we’re dealing with some character who’s constantly offsides or dead. Godot, for instance. Time to think. 2 DQs reserved. ---

So we have an unseen non-main character from a narrative story in a medium involving actors and a camera, but likely not dramatic (I should have asked if it was filmed or dramatic first), with the story having a definite date of creation although the character MAY have been created during the 70s. I’m stumped for the moment. ---
