The republican sniper is the only significant character. There are also other secondary characters, however, such as the old woman who was shot by the sniper and the republican sniper's brother.
If "The Sniper" was told from a third-person omniscient point of view, the reader would have insight into the thoughts and emotions of all characters, providing a more well-rounded understanding of their motivations and perspectives. This omniscient perspective could add depth to the story by revealing the inner turmoil and conflicting feelings of the characters as they navigate the challenges of warfare.
