That list would be cool, but I think this character should probably be on the real-world list -- it's a portal fantasy type thing; he falls through a door into another world from what looks like a coup or at least a lot of civil unrest. So although most of the action is secondary world, the characters are definitely from our world and it's the real world stuff that's most interesting in character terms. But you can see my problem with working out where to put it.

(In fairness, I can't tell from the book whether the white heroine is North American, European or something else, so it's not only West whose given back story is minimal).
