Lazlo Woodbine appears not as a character within Rankin's books, but as a fictional character within Rankin's books who is also self aware of his status as a fictional character and of the author whose writing him (confused yet? I know I am). Although sometimes he is a real character, but only as an impersanation done by another character in the guise of a fictional character.
Here, read this, it might make some sense (good luck though)
