In '300 Rise of an Empire' fanfiction, redemption arcs can also be given to minor characters. For instance, a Persian soldier who has followed orders blindly but then witnesses the horrors of war up close. He could then defect and join the Greeks, learning their ways and trying to atone for his past actions. This would add more depth to the story as it shows that not all on the 'enemy' side are irredeemable and can change given the right circumstances.
Another character ripe for a redemption arc in the fanfiction of '300 Rise of an Empire' is Ephialtes. He was a traitor in the movie, but fanfiction could rewrite his story. He could realize the error of his ways after seeing the true nature of the Persians he sided with. He might then try to make amends, perhaps by using his knowledge of both sides to broker peace or help the Spartans in some way. This would be a great way to explore his character more deeply and give him a second chance.
