As a minority, is it out of the question to hope for representation?

You've misread.
The reference is not equivalent to an appearance.
I hold the story you dismiss as 'side-content' as being as relevant as the MSQ.
I (again, jokingly at first) used the reference to tie that story to the MSQ (since you've arbitrarily decided that's the deciding factor for character relevance).

The line itself doesn't make him relevant. The whole sodding quest-line does. Which may not be good enough for you, but whatever.

No, it it isn't and that whole 'sodding quest line' isn't part of the main story. I note that at no point have you addressed the challenge I made.
