Static character.

Explanation:

There are different types of characterization in writing fictions. A writer or reader of any fictional work will encounter various types of characters in the story, some more active and prominent than the others.

While all characters have their own places in the story, the 'flat' characters or more simply 'static' characters are those types of characters that don't undergo any change throughout the whole story. They may appear in more than one scene, and may also interact with the other characters, even having dialogues in the story. But they are just a 'sub' for the whole story. They remain unchanged, and they don't serve any purpose for the story. They have no contribution as such to be considered for the progress of the story, but may be included in it. He / she will appear on a need basis, and has no part in the overall development of the story.
