Today's tropes is the Iconic Sequel Character
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IconicSequelCharacter

A Breakout Character is the most popular or well known part of their franchise. However, what most don't realize is that this character did not appear until an installment or two in, having been completely absent at the franchise's beginning. Yet the character has become so iconic the lack of their presence feels like Early Installment Weirdness. The character is an Iconic Sequel Character.

Possible causes of this include adaptations frequently condensing the original story and including characters earlier on than the original (especially when the original undergoes Adaptation Displacement) or the franchise not Growing the Beard and gaining a larger audience until after the Iconic Sequel Character makes their debut, or the first installment isn't that well known.
