Charon (Fire Force)

Charon was a huge, tall, and very muscular man with lightly colored hair. He was seen wearing a blindfold branded with a red cross symbol. He wore a plain white robe in the past. Charon's outfit resembled a martial arts uniform, similar to a kimono, with darkly-colored finger-less gloves, he also had a belt bearing the same cross symbol as his blindfold, toeless Tabi, and and exposed chest.

Background: 12 years ago, the 16-year old Charon accompanied Haumea to find the new Adolla Burst host. In order to successfully abduct the Third Pillar, Charon prepared a false body to be used as a substitute for the target's mother. While under Haumea's control, a newly created Demon Infernal brought the infant Shō to Charon and Haumea

Abilities

Physical Abilities

Charon was also an expert in hand-to-hand combat, capable of strong, quick strikes and grabs using his overwhelming strength and sturdy muscular frame. His blows were powerful enough to destroy a human body with minimal effort and leave craters into the ground. His body was incredibly durable, being able to recover quickly from repeated blows, a tremendous explosion, and withstand slashes from blades while showing no damage.

Pyrokinesis: Charon had a Second Generation ability that allowed him to absorb and accumulate kinetic energy into his body from any attack that hit him. He was able to transform this stored power into thermal energy to attack with. This allowed him to both create massive explosions and withstand strong attacks from any pyrokinetics.

By transferring the energy to different parts of his body, Charon was able to cause different types of explosions with small gestures like snapping or clapping. However, Charon was unable to release and absorb energy at the same time, leaving him vulnerable to counter-attacks and damage when he unleashed this thermal energy.

There was also a limit to how much energy Charon can absorb at one time, as redirecting one of Nataku's nuclear blasts critically exhausts him and renders him unable to fight for some time. Upon absorbing energy from massive repeated blasts from Takehisa Hinawa, his body reached its limits and he managed to redirect all of the collected energy into a blast before dying from overexertion. With his abilities, Charon had demonstrated great prowess against powerful pyrokinetic fighters like Yūichirō Kurono and Benimaru Shinmon, with the latter calling him a "monster" after proving unharmed from Benimaru's attacks.

Plot

Netherworld arc

Charon alongside other member of the Ash Flame Chivalric Order assure the Evangelist that events were transpiring in the way it desired.

VS. Special Fire Force Company 4 arc

Charon and Haumea observe the events transparent within the Fire Force Training School from a rooftop. Haumea expresses glee that Company 4 is being used to provoke Shinra Kusakabe. Charon, unable to see what is occurring within the School, relies on his partner to inform him about what is happening. The pair once again squabble, as Charon repeatedly asks for clarification about how The First Pillar is using the Adolla Link, much to Haumea's fury. After Arthur Boyle manages to break the ghostly woman's hold over Shinra, Haumea loudly claims that a 'Fifth Pillar' will soon emerge. Shouting they will find this person and the White-Clad will find the new, fifth user of the Adolla Burst, even if they have to battle against the Fire Force. Charon appears surprised and confused by this outburst.

Fifth pillar arc Under the direction of Haumea, Charon and a collection of followers tract the Fifth Pillar to a nearby park. Charon appears behind Inca and her friends and attempts to take her away. When Charon pauses because he recognizes Inca, Sancho attempts to stop him only for Charon to offhandedly kill him. Inca awakes her Ignition Ability and bombards Charon with explosions before fleeing into the city. Charon gives chase and manages to corner Inca, only for Shinra to strike from above. While Shinra'
