Of course! But also the specific phrasing of 'character'?
I always assumed (but that's rather guesswork) that this term found it's way via the Grimoires published in France via 'Bibliothèque Bleu', when a mass market also for spellbooks was established (like 'le caractère de Lucifuge Rofocale' in that infamous pseudo/parodic Grimoire) @germany@folklore
