Charon (Greek Mythology)

Charon is a ferryman in Greek mythology, whose job is to take spirits across the River Acheron and Styx, rivers of souls. He resides in Hades, and will only allow passengers if they pay him with one obol or something fairly valuable.

History
Charon takes the Charmed Ones across the river when they first arrive in the Underworld. Since they don't have any obols, the ferryman settles for the necklace around Phoebe's neck.

He later ferries the sisters and five innocents back to the Underworld's portal. Prue pays him with an inkwell.

Physical Appearance
Charon's appearance is quite revolting; his whole body is skeletal, with rotting flesh. He wears a long robe that covers him from head to toe.

Appearances
Charon has appeared in a total of 1 non-canonical novel throughout the franchise.
