Did the protagonist in Delany's _Babel-17_ have a name? As I recall it, he
didn't even have the concept of "I".
_Babel-17- is a strong Favorite, even with its flaws. I couldn't remember
for certain, so I had to re-read it. Thanks for the question!
I would say the protagonist is actually the female lead, Rydra Wong.

Yeah, you're probably right in that. The guy about whom I was thinking
was more of a McGuffin, maybe? Or, maybe not; he did matter. What is
the right term for such a character?
Heroine (in the traditional sense)? Does he basically sit around being
sad and waiting to be rescued?
Oh, wait ...
