I always considered a "Character" to be an NPC that the player can interact with (besides in a way that results in one or the other killing eachother, of course), such as Merchants, plot device characters, or even just characters with a few lines of dialouge. So I would consider Vendrick, Nashandra, and Magerold of Lanafir characters, while I would not consider Velstadt, Elana (my basis on dialouge does not include enemies that simply talk because it is scripted for them to. The interaction has to be triggered by the player), or any of the Black Phantoms characters.
