'a character' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'behind a golfer leans on family' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'behind' could be 'rump' (informal term for the buttocks) and 'rump' is found within the answer.
'golfer' could be 'els' (Ernie Els - former number one professional golfer) and 'els' is present in the answer.
'leans' could be 'tilts' ('tilt' can be a synonym of 'lean') and 'tilts' is found within the answer.
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
