| Charon
Greek/Roman/Christian
A grumpy old man who holds the ferry monopoly across the River Styx. All who want to enter the lands of the dead must pay him or spend one hundred years wandering the banks of the river before he will take them across. He is the child of Erebos and Nyx (night). Dante assigns him to the Inferno, where he operates the service over the Acheron.
