Shin Megami Tensei II

Whenever both Aleph and his partner die, they are sent to the River Styx, where Charon is waiting to guide them across to their next life.

Shin Megami Tensei if...

Whenever the Protagonist dies, they are greeted by Charon, who assigns them with a new Guardian and sends them back to their body. He is designed similarly to an African shaman.

Shin Megami Tensei IV

Whenever Flynn dies, his soul is sent to the river Styx where he meets Charon, who, being overworked and frustrated with all the souls coming in, offers to revive him in exchange for macca to ease his burden of having to ferry another soul through the river. If Flynn refuses to pay the fee however, Charon places him in the enormous line of souls waiting to be reincarnated.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner

After the Protagonist is killed by Sid Davis near the start of the game, Charon tells the Protagonist that it was not yet his time to die, but he cannot send him back to his own body, so he sends the protagonist's soul to the body of the recently-deceased Kyouji Kuzunoha.

Trivia

• In Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, there is unused statistical data for Charon, apparently as a boss, located after the data for Sid's Pseudo-Otherworld boss fight. However, the stats are clear placeholders. He is demon ID 123 in hexademical.
