:
The Oddworld Quintology is primarily the story of Abe's journey from the 'diamand mines' to the 'consumer cities', so Havoc does have a point. The other characters do indeed have their own importances, equalling Abe's, but the story as a whole is Abe's, even if he steps back into the shadows for large chunks of it.
Except that the Lorne originally planned for the first game to be Squeek's Oddysee, in which case Abe would be a secondary character by comparison. So the quintology is about the journey from the mines to the cities but for all the 'Quints' (if I may coin a term for all the heroes) together, not primarily Abe.
