On my research I stumbled upon [this](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/24673/how-can-i-switch-protagonists-between-books) question and it matches somehow with my question, that lingers in my head for a long time. In the mentioned question I read the common thinking is: Switching protagonists between books can be annoying, frustrating or discouraging to read about new characters in every new book. Now I come to my question. In my novel I developed a very complex background story. Part of the background story is a being with a simple mission. But the difficult part is: This being is not the main character of my novels. The novels center around people, who are "used" by this being for the success of her mission. The person has small appearances in the books and remains mysterious and acts behind the curtains, until the final act/novel. My question is: Is it okay to switch between multiple protagonists between books, if the true main character stays hidden behind the curtains?
