'greek character and relations about 100 work together' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'greek character' becomes 'mu' (letter from the Greek alphabet).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'relations' becomes 'kin' (both can mean one's family).
