Tom Walker is the main character, as is evidenced by the title of the story.  He is a stingy, miserly man.  He lives an unhappy life with his wife.  He is tempted to take the devil's deal to find and use Kidd's lost treasure.  Tom refuses at first, but later decides to make a deal with the devil.  


Tom's wife is another main character.  She is equally unhappy and miserly.  She decides to go looking for the devil to make her own deal, and she is killed for it.  


The narrator is the fictional Geoffrey Crayon.  He is a main character because he is the story teller.  He is simply relaying a story that he has heard many times to his audience.  


Old Scratch is the devil that makes the deal with Kidd and later Tom Walker.
