Lol. How can you delete the wrong character, open your eyes mate.
When you're deleting a character, you will get a confirmation if youre sure about it and you need to type the characters name.

Don't tell me you just blindly typed the name of that character?

Anyways, to answer your question.. there is no way to restore it,
the only way i could think off is remake the character

Well I was in a hurry to remake a pvp char..accidentally deleted my monk...had some nice stuff on him though

Pwned.

The whole name-type thing is there as a security measure to make sure you don't delete the wrong character....
Admittedly it doesn't work very well when you're so used to typing what you see that the process doesn't get the ok from the brain first.

In short..... sucks to be you.
Take a deep breath.... inhale... exhale... and get on with your regular guild wars life sans that character.

I nearly did this myself.
I have 4 main characters , 3 mules and 2 spare slots.
I had done a lot of clearing out of old kit and was about to delete a mule without any kit - not that I needed the character slots , just to be tidy when I stopped and thought for a few moments , knowing there was not anything I could do once it was deleted.

The mule had no kit , armour was still starters , all money in storage - what could I possibly lose. Then it hit me and I checked the age of the character - It was 11 months old. Minipets are not that big a deal but for the sake of just being tidy I think I'll let him stay just a little bit longer , let him have a birthday

GW can stop you from accidently deleting a character but they cannot stop you from purposefully doing so and they don't offer a way to undelete one

Sorry for your loss of the monk

Wow, I feel your pain, however you must have known that once done could not be undone.
