: Re: How to highlight a main character among several points of view? After some time outlining quite a complex story, I came to the conclusion I need more than one point of view to tell it all.

Everything is about him.

The other characters talk about him, plot about him, worry about him, try to contact him. Everything is about what he's doing or where he's going and with whom. Scenes where he isn't there detail the effect his actions or words had on the other characters.

If it's his story, then tell his story. The TV show Person of Interest is primarily about Mr. Finch and Mr. Reese. The other characters have lives and families, but we don't see those lives and families every episode. We primarily see them working with the two main characters, doing work for them, protecting them, talking to them, carrying out orders, etc.
