##### Abstract

We define a map of simplicial presheaves, the Chern character, that assigns to every sequence of composable non-connection- preserving isomorphisms of vector bundles with holomorphic connections an appropriate sequence of holomorphic forms. We apply this Chern character map to the Čech nerve of a good cover of a complex manifold and assemble the data by passing to the totalization to obtain a map of simplicial sets. In simplicial degree $0$, this map gives a formula for the Chern character of a bundle in terms of the clutching functions. In simplicial degree $1$, this map gives a formula for the Chern character of bundle maps. In each simplicial degree beyond $1$, these invariants, defined in terms of the transition functions, govern the compatibilities between the invariants assigned in previous simplicial degrees. In addition to this, we apply this Chern character to complex Lie groupoids to obtain invariants of bundles on them in terms of the simplicial data. For group actions, these invariants land in suitable complexes calculating various Hodge equivariant cohomologies. In contrast, the de Rham Chern character formula involves additional terms and will appear in a sequel paper. In a sense, these constructions build on a point of view of “characteristic classes in terms of transition functions” advocated by Raoul Bott, which has been addressed over the years in various forms and degrees, concerning the existence of formulas for the Hodge and de Rham characteristic classes of bundles solely in terms of their clutching functions.
