Character in love on Titanic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omega

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'character' is the definition.
(omega is a kind of letter of the alphabet)

'love on titanic' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'on titanic' becomes 'mega' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'o'+'mega'='OMEGA'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omega that I've seen before include "Final Greek letter" , "Final outcome" , "Foreign character" , "Greek long 'o'" , "Ending of a series or sequence" .)
