Yeah, I can understand why they condense characters. The Expanse books are horribly unoptimized for adaptations, a lot of side characters only appear for one book or even a few chapters and still carry enough relevance to the plot so you can't just cut them. It was fun reading the books after the show and trying to guess which character got merged with which
Drummer specifically got so many characters merged into her because the actress is fantastic and they wanted to keep working with her.
