Less than completely stylish character in Athens (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chi

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

'character in athens' is the definition.
'chi' can be an answer for 'character' (chi is a kind of letter of the alphabet). I'm not certain of the 'in athens' bit.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chi that I've seen before include "character from Euripides?" , "Greek letter; force in Chinese philosophy" , "The 22nd letter of Greek alphabet" , "T'ai -, martial art" , "Greek X" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
