Transgression and bad character (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sinbad

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

'character' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'transgression and bad' is the wordplay.
'transgression' becomes 'sin' (sin is a kind of transgression).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'sin'+'bad'='SINBAD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinbad that I've seen before include "Legendary mariner noted for seven voyages" , "Sailor of Eastern tale" , "Arabian Nights sailor who made seven voyages" , "Pantomime sailor from the Arabian Nights (6)" , "Legendary sailor from Arabian nights" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
