Jesus

Roman Catholic AnswerThe character is an indelible spiritual mark with which Our Blessed Lord marks you as a Christian to be his witness before people.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994

1304 Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it too imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the "character," which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of His Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be His witness.
