Story-wise, we never strive to use Cheese as a "main character" or a "background character." Essentially, he's an antagonist. Mac Daddy was about Bloo (the protagonist) trying to, in a sense, defeat Cheese (the antagonist) by getting rid of him. Cheese consistently thwarted Bloo by always returning. In Big Cheese, Frankie was the protagonist, as well as in Cheese-a-Go-Go.
So in actuality, as far as character goes, Cheese serves more as a villain than anything else--- just not an intentionally evil one.
Don't know if that makes a difference for anyone.
