First-Person Peripheral Narrator	comment	The author has a fascinating character in mind, and a story that is unquestionably that character's, but for one reason or another, getting into their head just wouldn't pan out for the reader. This can be for any number of reasons: The character is dead at the end of the story. The author wants to keep the reader wondering what the character is thinking, or the character has a secret the author wants to keep from the audience. (Unspoken Plan Guarantee features heavily.) The character doesn't understand the events of the story, and the author wants to provide a clear perspective on them. The character doesn't personally change or grow over the course of the story. In fact, the events of the story are more significant for an observer. The character's heroic abilities are such that it's hard to show them from his point of view without his coming across as conceited instead of cool. The author anticipates that the character might be difficult for an audience to relate to, compared with the other characters. More rarely, it's not clear what the character is, exactly. Enter the First-Person Peripheral Narrator, a character who is not the main character or protagonist, but is chosen as the narrator because they have an excellent view of the action surrounding the real focal characters. By nature they tend to act as a Decoy Protagonist, unless they explicitly state who the real main character is in the beginning. The real main character is also, by definition, a Non P.O.V. Protagonist. If the story that starts out like this switches to the main character, it's Intro-Only Point of View. Subtrope of Character Narrator. See also The Watson, whose job it is to merely set up exposition, P.O.V. Boy, Poster Girl, where the boy often resembles this, and Tagalong Chronicler, who has the in-story job to create the story of the protagonist. When a Biopic is made in this fashion, it is called a Sidelong Glance Biopic.

First-Person Peripheral Narrator / int_11d0af1	comment	The BBC radio drama adaptation of His Dark Materials has the character Balthamos (in this version described as a "recording angel" who observes and describes events as they take place) as the narrator, usually just observing and describing events that takes place, unseen and unheard by all, until he chooses to reveal himself to them and involve himself directly in the events as a character. Whenever he does this, there seems to be a slight gap between Balthamos as a narrator and Balthamos as a character, as if he's somewhat dispassionately continuing the observation and narration in his head — even describing events that take place elsewhere and he's clearly not physically present for — even as he is interacting with the other characters and reacting with much greater emotion outward.

The Coronation is narrated by Afanasii Zuikin, a butler in the Tsar's household who doesn't like Fandorin and is usually mystified by the moves Fandorin makes as Fandorin investigates the kidnapping of a young Romanov prince.

He is eventually given the task to enter Hell itself to destroy Baal's soulstone, ie. to actually do something, but understandably chickens out. What's interesting is that if Marius is seen as First Person Peripheral Narrator, then the main character is Diablo, not the Player Character. But since the latter only runs around killing monsters and misses all the real story, even Marius himself seems more like the protagonist at times.

Since Korosensei's true nature and motives are supposed to be a mystery until fairly late in the series, telling the story from his perspective would give the game away too soon. This changes a bit in Season 2, as the story shifts from a more episodic nature to a plot-driven one, and Nagisa gradually steps up as a driving character, with more focus put on his backstory and Character Development, with him as the one who ultimately assassinates Korosensei.

He himself doesn't really do much, but the accompanying stories of Percy and Paul detail a story of revenge that takes sixty years to conclude. The title even references this; "fifth business" is allegedly a stage term meaning that one character who has no real part to play in the story except for the fact that they know a game breaking fact about the main character. In reality, author Robertson Davies completely made up the term "Fifth Business", and the supposed reference source he quotes for it at the start of the book is utterly phony.

First-Person Peripheral Narrator / int_52c8adde	comment	The Warhammer world's Gotrek & Felix series (created by William King, resumed by Nathan Long for several books, now written by many authors) uses this trope as its foundation. The Dwarf Gotrek Gurnisson is, without doubt, the central protagonist. Gotrek is a slayer - a dwarf who has committed some great shameful act and seeks to atone for this dishonour by dying in battle against worthy foes. The stories are all driven by his obsessive quest to confront the most powerful monsters and villains he can find - encounters which he invariably survives, thanks to being a hugely muscled slab of frustrated dwarfish violence with one of the most powerful magic axes in the world. The stories are not told from Gotrek's perspective, however, but from that of his companion Felix. Felix Jaeger is a veteran adventurer, but still a fairly normal human - a one-time poet and minor political agitator who became caught up in Gotrek's quest when Gotrek saved his life and he swore a drunken oath to record the slayer's doom in an epic poem. As such a lot of Felix's thoughts on their adventures are of the "I can't believe I'm still here" variety, often shading into "yes, but if Gotrek does succeed, then I'm almost certain to die at the hands of whatever killed him". Using Felix as the point-of-view character makes Gotrek far more mysterious, unfathomable and unpredictable, as well as keeping his dark secret - the shame that made him become a slayer in the first place - still secret. Even after decades of adventuring together, Felix still doesn't know what Gotrek's shame really was.

Also, the contents of the entire novel are really Lockwood's diary.

First-Person Peripheral Narrator / int_ab2a760	comment	The night guards from the Five Nights at Freddy's series act like this. Yes, the game is about their survival against the killer animatronics, but they really don't have a big impact on the plot or backstory - at best, they can discover it. 3's unnamed Fazbear's Fright guard might have burned down the building, but it's only slightly implied, with no confirmation. Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location avert this, however, with 4's child protagonist - who is substantially more involved in the plot - and Sister Location's enigmatic "Eggs Benedict," who may or not be William Afton or his formerly-dead son, Michael, who seems to be on track to becoming the series' Hero Antagonist.

However, Dresden is notable as the only one to narrate from a first person perspective, and though he gains later connections to the main cast, he purposefully gives off the impression as being the most peripheral to the main cast as he's the Hero of Another Story and usually off doing his own thing.

The main characters of the novel are inhabitants of the village, Wylder's family and friends (and enemies), but it's all narrated by de Cresseron, the outsider. Where it gets a bit weird is that he's only in the village for three short visits, at the beginning and end and somewhere around the middle of the novel, so large stretches are narrated in what's effectively omniscient third person, describing events and characters' thoughts that it's unlikely de Cresseron would have known.

Originally Carrot was going to be the viewpoint character, but then Pratchett decided it would be more interesting to leave his thoughts out of the narrative, and shifted the viewpoint to Vimes. This ended up having very interesting results. In fact, in the entire series, there is exactly one page written from Carrot's point of view, even if the story is revolving around him. Sometimes the book spends some time on other characters' thoughts on what Carrot is thinking, because he's like a well: both extremely simple, and extremely deep.
