Protagonist

Character Role Analysis

Rafe Khatchadorian

Rafe says it himself—he's our tragic hero. He's the guy we're rooting for to come out on top, even though we know from the first pages of his story that it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Like the tragic heroes of Greek literature, Rafe makes a whole lot of bad choices, but he's able to get his act together in the end before he's forced to go full Oedipus.
