The role of the oddball? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

character

This clue is a double definition.

'the role' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'the oddball?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for character that I've seen before include "Part" , "Letter; personality" , "card" , "strength of mind" , "Letter or number" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
