Can I find anywhere a comprehensive list of every single person that is mentioned in Tanach. Including somewhat "biographical" information, who they were, family, what they did, how they fit into Tanach, etc.

I suggest Ishei Hatanach / Encyclopedia Of Biblical Personalities Anthologized from the Talmud, Midrash, and Rabbinic writings by Yishai Chasidah. It's an Artscroll product.

    There's also a Hebrew version, I think

    This is a good one. I found it on someone's bookshelf once and spent an entire Shabbath drawn into it.

Wikipedia has two great lists. Very thorough - just filter out the New Testament... No midrash though - it's very pshat.
