He's not major (Multiple book) character in the series. 

There's only a couple major character deaths in ADWD and the most major one didn't necessarily remove said character from the series. I really detested these last two books for how much they slowed the series down. AFFC was utter bullshit; ADWD had some pull, but was still not on the same level as the first three books.
