Well, okay. "Fizzled" is vague and hard to rebut. It could mean anything. Everything you say makes sense, though. As for me, I didn't know he was going to turn out to be a minor character, because they kept building up our expectations. And when men of mystery appear on TV shows, or in books, etc., eventually the mysteries are solved by the end, usually anyway. That's why we stay tuned. Plot mysteries were solved, but as for CN's personal backstory, he disappears in a puff of smoke (not literally... I forget his end) and that's it.
If he'd just been some guy, it wouldn't have mattered, but they drew us in with the frequent mantions of the name with that air of importance, and he had this "presence" and delivery...
