Charon is a ghoul in Fallout 3 who befriends the Lone Wanderer. He was voiced by Mike Rosson.
Fallout 3[]
A quiet and intimidating ghoul, Charon is Ahzrukhal's personal bodyguard and soldier. Every couple of days, Ahzrukhal sends Charon out to run some kind of errand. He always leaves packed with weaponry, and returns with a bag of caps.
He's loyal beyond question to whoever holds his contract, and will do whatever his employer orders. Charon never sleeps (a strange trait even for a ghoul), and when he's in Underworld, he hangs out in the bar.
There are rumors that he is unhappy with his position, but can't leave Ahzrukhal's employ. Although little is said about Charon's past, Ahzrukhal will tell the Lone Wanderer that he was raised by a group of people who brainwashed him into obeying whoever has his contract.
Ahzrukhal insists that he is not a slave, and implies that Charon did something in the past to deserve his "employment" with him. When his contract is purchased by the Lone Wanderer, Charon says to him/her that he must "chat" with his former employer.
Charon then walks to the bar, speaks briefly to Ahzrukhal, then shoots him twice with his combat shotgun, killing him. If questioned about it by the Lone Wanderer, Charon replies with the explanation that "Ahzrukhal was an evil bastard."
While the terms of the contract are never shown, if Charon is asked to retrieve the G.E.C.K. in Vault 87, he says that he is only good for combat services and that he is "nobody's errand boy", though this defying act is non-canon, considering that he doesn't say this with Broken Steel installed.
