Is there any way to annotate the name of the character throughout the book?
ie, Marcus is introduced in the first chapter. I make a note about his character- "Lawyer at Bendini and Lambert, defending the protagonist John". Then every single instance of the word "Marcus" in the novel is linked to that note and I can call up the annotation from anywhere in the book the word Marcus is mentioned.

This would need to be edited into the ebook. Is it possible?
There is something you can do with your Kobo that would work for what you want. I know it works for ePub. But I cannot say about KePub.

Highlight the character name and also put in your note(s) about that character. Then whenever you want to look up your notes on the character, go to the list of the highlights and when you see the highlight for said character, you'll also see your note(s).
