I want to use a couple of the character from one campaign in another, but can't find where the files for characters are stored.

Or is it not that simple?

Not that simple I'm afraid.
The characters are stored inside the db.xml file in each campaign folder and start with <id-0000x> and end </id-0000x>. (x represents the number for the respective character)
Open the file with notepad++ or the like and it'll be easier to locate.

example:

<charsheet>
<id-00001>
<holder name="Tif" owner="true" />
***lots of stuff in between***
</id-00001>

Make sure to make backups of all campaign files before trying any direct XML editing.

Also, you'll need to make sure that the ID value for the character in the XML file is unique, or you will see problems on the screen and have potential data loss.
