"I what now?"
"You're the hero now. Here, take this character development, tragic history, and noble purpose. You'll need them."
"Whoa, hold on! I don't want any of that! I'm happy just the way I am. I like providing expository dialog. I enjoy the occasional comedic mishap. Why would I want all the responsibility of being the hero?"
"The series is ending. Either you take the promotion and get your own spin-off, or you fade into oblivion with the rest of the story."
"...hand me that tragic history."
