I have a powerful antagonist perform important functions within my story. At the midpoint, he just leaves. Several Plot developments depend on this character. I tried replacing him with other character(s) or causes within my world, but I am getting into extremly convoluted territory with it and I am really uneasy and not satisfied with those solutions. There is still a main antagonist and another secondary antagonist in the story, so conflict is not the issue. **Do you think letting a major player leave mid-story should be avoided at all costs?** **Is there a way to mitigate potential maleffects?** NOTE: We witness his departure by ship mid story from the point of view of another character.
