The dramatic character of wild anger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regan

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

'the dramatic character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'wild anger' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'anger' with letters rearranged gives 'REGAN'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for regan that I've seen before include "Princess" , "part of 1 25 [KING LEAR]" , "Fawning daughter" , "role at Stratford" , "daughter seeking power" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
