I would estimate the story arc for this character (which will be interwoven with the arcs/POVs of three other characters in the novel) to be 75% complete, if all goes according to plan, and fresh unseen peril does not arrive without my prior knowledge.

I have a plan for each arc, for each character—but sometimes it is relatively basic. Here, for TKARCH, who still has yet to be named, it was a simple A to F, by way of B to E. Those plot beats break it up nicely and, today, I make it beyond beat letter D. Not quite at E, but close.
