Basically you have to link them with a foreign key. I hope this fits
your needs with the legacy table.
class Character(models.Model):
guid = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
name = models.CharField()
…
class CharacterHome(models.Model):
character = models.ForeignKey(Character, primary_key=True)
…
If you want an instance of character returning the guid, define a
__unicode__() function
def __unicode__(self):
return self.guid
