ravenswept19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
Can I cop out on two answers in a row? No? Fine...
I'm gonna pick Martin Carmichael from the Noir story. Originally the only reason he even got a name was because I couldn't have everyone be nameless in what became the first chapter (which now is going to need a rewrite), and he was only one of two who got that privilage. He was the lucky one, the other guy Charlie got kicked in gut.
Then, when I was inspired to continue the story, he popped in again as one of two body guard/enforcers who stay in Rachel's building. In that was a line that said he had been around the longest, and suddenly his name got bumped up a few notches on the title card. He became one of the first recruits when Rachel broke into her own, and functions as her voice to the lower ranks, allowing her to keep herself invisible as much as possible. Martin isn't a boss, but almost acts as advisor/speaker for Rachel; he's also one of the few who can question her outright, and she trusts him enough to let him question whether or not continuing a relationship with a cop is a worth what will happen if it turns sour. He loves her, but in a protective way; he is gay, after all.
