  You swear correctly. He is the boatman of the river Styx. He ferries souls to Hades in the afterlife if the individual was buried with the ferry toll. If they didn’t have the ferry toll they’d be fated to wandering the banks of the river Styx for 100 years before they could cross.

    It’s certainly several orders of magnitude better than Blessica…

    Although mythological names are often cool, it’s always worth researching fully. Loki may suddenly be super cool thanks to the MCU, but he still got fucked by a horse.

      I think the main issue is that it sounds like Karen

      I enjoy the mythos around Charon. If you lived your life to the point where you didn’t have a single person to care for you enough to make a small payment in your name (think 2 pennies), you suffer the fate of merely waiting. He’s like a minimalist renown filter of sorts. It’s like a judge of character, so to speak, based on what others would do for you when you can’t act.

    Imo, Charon’s actually a cool name

  He ran the ferry boat across the Styx to the underworld and had a 3 headed dog…

    Cerberus was next in line to the house of Hades, but Charon was not his master. Hades was.
