Charon (pronounced: KÆR-un), also known as Cerlic, was a major 'Altraloth' (A version of a Daemon) and the boatman of the River
STYX, who ferried souls down the River for a steep price. His appearance was that of a skeletal man with glowing eyes in a haggard face. He typically wore royal robes or ermine and silk. Charon was about 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall, and weighed almost 240 pounds (109 kilograms). His hands were bony claws and his feet were webbed. No-one alive or dead had ever seen Charon without his hood up. Charon was the lord of the
STYX, from its beginning to its end. He despised any outsider, particularly 'Wastriliths' (Demonic Water Lords), who dared interfere with his river and hunted them down. He also exacted payment from all who made use of the
STYX to travel the planes. Charon was deceitful and cunning, and utterly self-serving, usually operating only to benefit himself.
