In any good story, the protagonist, the character the story focuses on, should always be the character who is in the best position to solve the problem the plot presents. Depending on what the plot problem is defines the protagonist and exactly what it is they offer to solve the problem. Heroes aren't always defined by their struggle, and vice versa. Sometimes through the course of the story the hero has to find what it is he has to do, and often, it's his act of discovery that makes him heroic, not necessarily the deed to be done in the end, because that can always change.
