"We share a common fate Kratos, the Gods will release neither of us from our torture." - Charon
Charon is the ferryman of the Underworld who ferries the souls of the dead across the rivers of Styx and Acheron.
In God of War: Chains of Olympus, Charon is depicted as a tall, gaunt man with pale skin. He wears dark robes with several severed heads attatched to them, and a golden mask covering his skull-like face. As a weapon, he carries a large, deadly scythe, which he also uses as a walking stick. Kratos comes to Charon's docks upon the River Styx. Upon arrival, the ferryman refuses to give Kratos passage, so the two of them fight. After a brief fight however, Charon kills Kratos and throws him into the depths of Tartarus.
After Kratos obtains the Gauntlet of Zeus and escapes Tartarus, he once again encounters Charon, and defeats him once and for all. Upon defeating Charon, Kratos then takes the ferryman's golden mask, which gives him the power of Charon's Wrath.
