Welcome to the board, Variol (Farseer) Elmwood!!!
Yes, character information is stored in the Roster.dat - a file which is not deleted automatically when you uninstall and reinstall the game. If you really want to clear the entire game to reinstall it, delete the folder where the game files are being stored.
There is a patch and there is a list in the Best Tips thread which tells you what the patch does and does not do. I recommend playing the game without the patch unless you really need it. It was an "unofficial" patch and does fix some issues but support for this game by Activision has been nill. This forum has provided a lot more support and solved many more problems than they have.
Hope you get the game running as you like! It is a very good game!
