How can a commentary on millenia of legend and literature be "seminal"? Wouldn't it be the opposite? *NM*

If you remember the seminal work by Campbell, it's almost a requirement of the "hero myth" that the hero be both of noble ancestry and a "simple person." I think this follows through in Arthurian legend, greek myth (e.g., Perseus), star wars, etc. The Hero with a Thousand Faces, indeed!

Ironically, the hero of humble origins is itself a reaction to the previous noble hero.

I'm thinking of a character similar to Beslan Mitsobar before his mother died

I think he's simple because of the reasons you give for the nobility
