The very first book Consider Phlebas is all about an alien that is an enemy of Culture.

Larry Niven had a gift for weird and imaginative aliens. I thought Idirans would look like pumped-up Puppeteers from the Ringworld series. I can totally see a Brute Puppeteers

Most of the Culture books focus on characters who either aren't part of the Culture or at least didn't originally come from it. Of the nine novels, only two (Player of Games and Excession) primarily focus on people born in the Culture.

I always forget there are more outside than inside Culture books. I always seem to think they were balanced somehow.

There's a little fuzz to it because multiple intertwining storylines are common in Culture books. Like in Use of Weapons, I'm counting the main character as Zakalwe, but there's a whole Diziet Sma plotline going on in there too. Anaplian in Matter acts mostly as a Culture SC agent even though she's a princess from an industrial age society. Look to Windward is about Quilan, but it's also about Masaq' Hub.
