The Boatman
Charon, alternately called Caduceus, the Boatman, the Ferryman, or the Reaper, is a chthonic god and lesser deity in the faith of the Five Faces of the Divine.
Generally presumed to be in the service of Erebus, the Prince of the Wilds, Charon is a psychopomp charged with ferrying the souls of the dead to one of the Outer Planes. The souls of the righteous faithful are said to be transported to one of the planes of the Five; but for the wicked, there is only eternal torment in the clutches of the Shadowed Ones waiting beyond the veil.
Charon is most commonly associated with the Shadowfell, though he is uniquely able to pass among all the planes without the need of a guide or portal.
