A character can be split in to two defining aspects; the signified and the signifier.
This is a premise which Ferdinand de Saussure and charles sanders pierce explain as the signifier is the form the concept represents and the signified is the form of which the sign takes place.
This can be shown through various characters Ezio from assassins Creed for instance.
The signified is Ezio and his Heroic Deeds and the assassin’s creed.
The signifier is Ezio hooded outfit, his hidden blades, his secretive demeanor and the red sash that is always apparent.
Another character that this can be applied to is the Jedi or Obi-wan Kenobi.
The signified is Obi-wan and the Jedi’s order
The signifier is his flowing robes, his force powers and of course the Light Sabre.
