Charon is the weapon vendor of Deadbolt who uses the souls of the dead as currency. He has no contribution to the story aside selling weapons to the player and a cassette tape dropped by demons, which mentions him. Charon is a very terrifying person to the demons to the point that there are even folk songs warning about him and the Styx River. He guards the Styx River and he will have no remorse about throwing anyone off the boat who causes problems. Charon looks like a business man, with a white elegant suit and a white hat, he has black skin but there are flames on sides of his head and on his hands. The player will be able to interact with him after the level New High, where the reaper tells the player that Charon is interested in the souls you have collected.
Whenever you buy a weapon from Charon, you will get a message that says "NEW WEAPON" and the image and name of said weapon. When you close the "Shopping list", you can see that, the souls you have traded with him are on his boat (they look like bright humanoid forms with blue edges). Depending on the quantity of souls you have traded, you will see more or less "souls".
There are several weapons sold by Charon, but they can be divided into two categories:
Primary Weapons[]
Primary weapons are mostly made up by guns and strong melee weapons. Some of these weapons can not be obtained other than buying them from Charon. The player can only carry one primary weapon at a time.
