sellsthneedsName: The Once-ler.
Age: While canon doesn't give us any real dates to go on, I'm estimating him to be from 1963, and 21 years old at that time. (Going by this calendar, he'd be 70 when meeting Ted Wiggins.)
Personality: Optimistic, clever, and a bit conniving, if he feels the need. The Once-ler is a dreamer, and planning ahead is almost impossible for him. He thinks outside the box, and is often ridiculed for it. His creativity helps him invent things that look cool, but usually only make sense to him.
Most of these inventions are Rube-Goldberg-esque in their design.
He's artistic, musically inclined, and sometimes self-centered. Once will tell you how great he is, mainly because he's never heard anyone else do so. He tries hard to build up his self-esteem, but never at the expense of tearing someone else down. (Unless they have hurt his feelings. In that case, all bets are off.)
He wants to be adored and deemed useful, especially by his family. His mother spent most of his childhood telling him he was useless and would never amount to anything. His aunt and uncle joined in the ridicule, and his brothers liked to use him as a punching-bag. His brothers were the least maliciously motivated out of the group.
The Once-ler's father died when he was five years old. It's widely rumored in his family that he's the product of an affair, but, his dad never held that against him and never treated him any differently than the twins.
