Love wicked character written by Aristophanes (5)

I believe the answer is:

omega

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

'character written by aristophanes' is the definition.
'omega' can be an answer for 'character' (letter of the Greek alphabet). I am not sure about the 'written by aristophanes' bit.

'love wicked' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'wicked' becomes 'mega' (I've seen this before).
'o'+'mega'='OMEGA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omega that I've seen before include "letter from abroad" , "The last in a series of letters" , "completes a series" , "Final Greek letter" , "character from Athens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
