To define something as a character, it must be a living being that can directly affect or change something upon Gielinor in a way that something else (besides another character), could not. Whether Typhoeus caused someone to go insane, or it was gold, or a substance, matters little. The type of insanity caused is too much for it to be legible in explanation, and matters little in a story explanation. So in a way, Typhoeus has become more of a force or object than a living being.

For him to be a character, he'd realistically have to be potentially affected by or changed by other characters or items. This isn't possible with Typhoeus. It may be possible to say he was a character at one point, but as nobody is playing him, (and nobody should) I don't want to give the impression it was, is, or will be roleplayed.
