So far in the Quintology, we have seen two characters who are unlikely heroes. But they have been subclasses in the industrial world, a slave laborer and a lab experiment on the brink of extinction. I have a feeling Squeek will be the same type of character, a forgotten underdog in the developing world.
But what if OWI created an Oddysee featuring a central character of high importance. A highly influential character with high social and political power, with lots of moolah to play with. An aristocratic industrialist (like a Khanzumerz maybe) who somehow comes in contact with Munch and Abe (and probably Squeek since I'm talking fourth or fifth part of the Quintology here) and embarks on an Oddysee to the native worlds, which show him/her that industry is ensuring Oddworld's doom and influences him/her use his/her power (and moolah) to help in the natives' movements to stop industry.
A high profile character would be just as much of an unlikely hero as a low profile subclass and would be a different approach to the traditional Oddworld Oddysee. It could also help introduce the cities of Oddworld into the series. Don't you think?
