Since I haven't read it, I'm not certain. But surely Maekar is one of the main characters as the title suggests.
Most likely, aside from Maekar, there could be other knights who are either his friends or foes. There might also be some important noble characters who play a role in his adventures. Maybe a lord who hires him or a lady he has to protect. And of course, there could be some common folk characters that Maekar interacts with, which could add depth to the story and show different aspects of the world he lives in.
Well, in a hedge knight story, there may be a mentor - like figure for Maekar, an older knight who has more experience and gives him advice. There could also be some antagonists, perhaps a group of bandits that he has to fight against. And then there are the people in the villages and towns he visits. A local innkeeper could be an important character, providing Maekar with information and a place to rest. The main characters would all work together to create a complex web of relationships and events in the graphic novel.
