Greek Mythology
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
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.
Powers and Abilities
Charon has a large plethora of powers. First off, he can move with great speed, and deliver fast, long range swipes with his scythe. He can dissapate into the ground, and then reappear at another location, making it hard for Kratos to get him. He can summon green orbs, which he then hurls at Kratos. Finally, he can also blast a cloud of ravenous flames from his mask, which do rapid, continuous damage to Kratos if he gets hit.
