Minor Character's Roles in Insurgent

What is the role of a minor character in the book I am reading, Insurgent. The character I chose to analyze is Peter. Peter isn't mentioned very often in the book  but whenever he is, he nearly always drastically changes the plot of the story. He also changes sides often in the book. Him and Tris met when they were both initiates at Dauntless and they hated eachother and tried to sabotage eachother.

At the beginning of the second book, Peter is revealed to be a traitor and on the Erudite's side. But, when Tris is about to be killed, Peter saves her and they escape Erudite. Tris was very confused why he did this but he later reveals that he lives a very extreme sounding life. He basically just always lives so that he never owes anybody anything. Tris had saved him before when she didn't kill him once so Peter felt like he owed her back. He fulfilled this by saving her from Erudite but he is still very unpredictable since he always goes to whichever team is the highest bidder.
