pique

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

'resentment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'what spaniards use on a greek character' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'character' could be 'pi' (pi is a kind of character) and 'pi' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'que' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'creates' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pique that I've seen before include "Petulant anger" , "Slight reaction" , "Wound (pride); resentment" , "Needle" , "Animosity" .)
