The character is you, the player. The player character's role, race, gender and alignment can be chosen at the beginning of the game. There are also other characters represented by an @, such as your quest leader and the oracle. Anything not represented by an @, such as pets, qualify as monsters, not characters.

In another sense, a character is anything in ASCII. Thus you are a character, literally you are @. The monsters and items, and even dungeon features, are also represented by characters.
