Secondary characters populate your world and help move the story along. There are two main subclasses of secondary characters; supporting characters and minor characters. Minor characters exist primarily for the purpose of making the story more interesting and relatable because a world without people seems flat and hollow. The story could still be told without them, it would just be harder.  By contrast, supporting characters are essential to the plot. They play a direct role in the plot and have a heavy impact on the storyline.
