The character has to exist in the history files, and each of these will have a number which you can use to create them ingame. Go to history/characters and open any of the files located there to get an idea of what has to be done.
 
open the folder 'history\characters' and open the file 100390 in notepad. This is Gaius Julius Caesar, and he'll have all the examples of scripting you should need (the file is quite large, otherwise I'd post it here).

So for ceaser is birth and death date are:
Code:
654.1.1 = { birth = 654.1.1 }
710.3.15 = { death = 710.3.15 }

Is he gonna appears and dissapears on those date in every game??
 
Those dates are only used at startup. Once you start the game every char is randomly generated.
 
We don't have an effects list yet, and there's no vanilla events that I can think of which create characters. So the answer is either a strait "no, you can't" or at least "we don't know how, yet".
