Charon

In Life
Charon Papandreou was born blind to a wealthy mercantile family. His father found him to be a great judge of character, able to pick up on subtle cues in voice that couldn't be hidden by a false smile. He was involved in all business dealings his father made, and his opinions were treated as gospel. If he felt someone was being dishonest, his father didn't give them a chance to defend themselves; whatever Charon said was true.

When he was of age, his parents determined to find Charon a suitable wife who would care for him once they passed on. He was wed to Natasa Drivas, the daughter of their long-time family friend, and though they were good friends, there was no romance between them. Charon had never felt sexual arousal for her or anyone else, so he encouraged her to seek the company of other men. Despite this, Natasa remained dedicated to him and their marriage even after his death.

In Death
Charon serves as a veritable ferryman for human souls in the afterlife. As humanity grew more complex and nuanced, it became less simple to determine a soul's destination, so Charon was given his role based on his aptitude for judging character and has held it ever since.

He is considered an angel, but spends most of his time in Hell due to his closeness with Syn.
