"I am thou... thou are I. I am Charon, the Ferryman. I will help carry you to your destiny, the destiny we all share."

Charon is the ferryman that guards the river Styx, normally portrayed as a grim and brooding individual. Portrayals vary on his physical appearance: while some accounts point towards a old, haggard man, some say that he's a young man with haunted if striking features. Shirou's 'version' of the minor god reveals a skeltal man, dressed as a traveler, in a heavy jacket and a long scarf. He wears a bone mask that covers his face, and he carries with him his oar, but he also pulses with dark energy.

The two of them make a good team, Charon representing a natural change or natural force, and Shirou representing the drive to understand those changes. Charon is also a 'guardian' of a sorts, protecting the gates of life and death and thus granting Shirou both death-dealing and healing magics. But Charon is also a demanding man; those that die must have a coin to pay their passage across the River Styx. Shirou is just more likely to loot a fallen shadow's carcass for usable items and yen though.
