I think the only character worth talking about this far into the book is the titular character, the Time Traveler. The author portrays this character as the now common "mad scientist" trope, a man extremely devoted to his studies and research, a scientist that passionately talks about his work and even a bit of an avid spokesperson, basically selling this insane idea to the people he invites over. The Time Traveler also has a sizable wealth that one can only assume comes from his inventions, yet it doesn't feel like that amount of money is changing how he is, as he doesn't sound pretentious, and is frankly okay with sharing with other people (although he clearly seems interested in intellectual people or people that could potentially help his research). Even though this "mad scientist" trope is usually associated with evil characters, you can see the Time Traveler has nothing but good intentions at heart.
