Lingering DLC questions

So, as you know I'm still focused on Mark of a Beloved atm, because Silent Morti my Lingering partner is still focused on finishing school and I don't really think Lingering is Lingering without her input and backgrounds.

 But I'm still dabbling with Lingering here and there and most of the sprites from Mark of A Beloved can be used for Lingering DLC if the community prefers so after Mark of a Beloved's demo release, which should in May. The script is currently in review of my editor.

Anyway, who would you guys want as a MCs for the DLC? The DLC is a prequel of Lingering, when Xander was still around and MH was still in charge of the Golds. I know Redback has to be one of MCs because of the plot I have in mind. But other than that the other plot ideas I have at the moment can still work with other POVs.

For the DLC I'm thinking of 3 side stories/cases. 

1. The Spider case : Live out what's it like being one of the spiders, fighting off so called Internet Trolls and young and old victims of social media. Focuses on Redback, struggling with a particular client online yet doesn't seek help as he wants to impress his boss and move on to Lovesick and further up the ranks. Will his effort bare fruit or will he dug his own grave?

2. Borris and Xander's Relationship/past: The title is pretty self explanatory, but I don't know if I should use Xander's POV or not as he is actually very, very dark and I'm not sure people will be comfortable with such a character or if he is like the Joker where it's better as a side character but never a main character. Borris has to be an MC as I do want to show some of his reasonings and relationship with others. 

3. Lovesick/Main case: I'm still not sure who will be the MC here. This will probably be the main story of the DLC and helps flow out Borris and Xander's relationship. I want a big case where all teams are involved and tie up all the side stories together. This case will be the reason why the previous Spider leader resigned. it will also show how Gold's and Black worked hand in hand before. Showing familiar faces like a younger Goldie, Angel, Playboy (Humpty), Dumpty, Fiona and Fox. Also new ones like the previous Gold and Black teammates. 

This is the one I am somewhat struggling with as I'm not sure who the antagonist should be or his goals yet. I was thinking a Lovesick case though, someone targeting on teens and/or relationship related Lingerings such as abusive relationship or toxic ones (apparent or not) as I didn't get to showcase such cases in the main game. Should his goals be complex such as a former Heart Breacher wanting revenge? Or a simple as well... they are a dick?

But yeah I will probably show Fox/Angel/Goldie's relationship here and maybe a bit of Humpty Dumpty/Fiona with the others. So who will you want to see as an MC/or POV?

Angel? Fox? Goldie again? Or focus purely on Humpty Dumpty and Fiona's or new MCs POVs, and see previous cast only from the sidelines?

for the DLC I think I will only need 4-5 PoVs are enough since the story isn't as long or complex as Lingering.

So please let me know. Borris and Redback are the only fixed ones. 

The rest is up to you. If you guys have anything you want to see in the DLC or something you feel is too vague in the main game and wished to be explained more in the DLC, please let me know. I appreciate the feedback and hope for more interactions with you guys ^ ^
