Charon
built 224 days ago
Charon was the ferryman of Hades. He took the newly dead people across the river Acheron to the Greek underworld, if they paid him an obolus (a Greek silver coin). Because of this people in Ancient Greece were always buried with a coin under their tongue to pay Charon. Those who could not pay him had to wander the banks of the Acheron for one hundred years.

Charon was the original pioneer of the "death warmed up" look, now made popular by his friend and husband the Grim Reaper. It was back in 1990 that Charon first donned the black cloak when all of his Nike tracksuits were in the wash. He took the curtains from his dining room and fashioned a gown from them, which he then wore to work. Although Hades mercilessly took the piss, Charon ignored him and went about his duties. He was an immediate hit with the newly-deceased and decided to keep the look, incorporating the Death, Inc. logo and visiblity armbands into later numbers.

Charon had shorter lifespans than most sentient species in the known Galaxy, growing rapidly in the first half dozen standard years of their lives. Considered younglings until they were four standard years old, Charon became adults at six standard years. When they reached thirty four years, they were regarded as middle-aged, while those between fifty six and sixty four were thought to be old. A Charon who lived for more than sixty five years old was considered venerable.[2]

Charon does not have great relations with most of the other major Archangels. He doesn't really care about them, and they ignore him. He gets on well with Yves, who understands that all human's Destinies or Fates must end with death, and enjoys the company of Blandine, for what is death but a never ending dream? He is openly hostile to Dominic, who still suspects him of some treachery. Although not hostile with Laurence or Michael, he is annoyed with them because they and their followers send so many souls to Heaven for him to care for. This is summarised below.

Charon and Meltman part ways. Charon continues his efforts to bring down the Clockwork King, this time enlisting the help of Xanatos and Poison. They run through six more of the Clockwork King's construction centers before Charon and his new found team mates are found facing Babbage again. However, Babbage leaves the fight even more worse off than he did in the first fight. With the help of Yellow Wolf of the Defenders of Paragon and Tilia of the Centurions, Babbage is beaten, and leaves the fight with a missing arm. He once again dismantles himself and disapears into the Aqueduct.

Just prior to the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, a Charon splinter group calling themselves the Cult of Light secretly constructed the Charon’s first ever hyperdrive. Many Charon, disillusioned with the savage ways of the Cult of the Void, left their galaxy to find a new life. Each new hyperdrive produced gave hope to hundreds of Charon eager to escape otherspace, and the Cult of Light, which sought to mingle with other species and maintain peace, began to search for uninhabited worlds to colonize and transport Charon to. The Cult of Light, led by a Charon dubbed the Illuminated One, managed to remain secret from the Cult of the Void until the destruction of Coruscant by the Yuuzhan Vong in 27 ABY. The Prophet of the Void then began to hunt down suspected members of the other faction; ... the Cult of Light were able to keep the secret of hyperspace out of the death worshipers clutches, thus saving the Galaxy from another costly invasion.[2]
