I was just reading a forum where people were talking about their antagonists, and I thought back to who my antagonist was, and I realized, I HAVE NO ANTAGONIST! What do I do?

Ok, here’s the situation. I have an antagonist (who really isn’t at all well developed (not at all developed. I just realized I know nothing about him, not even his name.)), but he only comes in the second book of the trilogy. None of his minions even show up in the first book. There are absolutely NO hints about him. And I can’t change that without ruining everything. Well, I could maybe make one or two extremely vague hints, but that’s the most I can do.

Well, I just realized that I do have sort of an antagonist, kind of like a side antagonist in the series, who gets introduced in the first book, but there isn’t much about him either, only a small section. Now that I think about it, there really isn’t much of a bad guy in the first book. I mean, there are small antagonists, but there is no main one.

Does this story sound horrible? Should I try to mess it all up and put an antagonist in it? Is it really important to have the main antagonist in the first book?
