The kid is an odd character, because he's not much of a character at all. We meet him and find out about his life early on, but then he just becomes a backdrop against which the story is told. Glanton and the Judge seem to be whom the story is "actually" about. As for the Judge, I think he is an amazing character, and my favorite passages of the book are his long monologues.
