Charon, a towering figure at 202 cm with a muscular build and pale hair, wears a martial arts uniform accentuated by fingerless gloves, an exposed chest, and a belt adorned with a red cross—mirroring the symbol on his signature blindfold. Talkative yet prone to repetition, he balances paternal protectiveness toward Haumea, whom he has guarded since her childhood, with sharp impatience toward her aggression, all while maintaining tactical shrewdness in service to the White-Clad and the Evangelist’s mission to purify humanity.
Twelve years before the central timeline, as a teenager, he orchestrated the abduction of infant Shō Kusakabe by deploying a decoy body to trick the child’s mother, cementing his role as a guardian of the Pillars—a duty he applies even to rivals like Shinra and Nataku. His Second Generation pyrokinetic power lets him absorb kinetic energy from assaults, transmute it into explosive thermal force, and unleash devastating counterattacks, though discharging this energy leaves him momentarily defenseless, with overload risks proving fatal.
A master of provocation, Charon lures foes into fueling his explosions, strategically diverting catastrophic strikes like Nataku’s nuclear blast. During the Fifth Pillar arc, he hunts Inca, outmaneuvers Shinra in a duel of tactics, and secures her loyalty. Later, in the Haijima Industries conflict, he shields Nataku from Kurono’s onslaught, prioritizing the Pillar’s survival over White-Clad directives. His final sacrifice sees him channeling Nataku’s apocalyptic energy away from Tokyo, an act that consumes his life through sheer exertion.
Though unwavering in his allegiance to the Evangelist, he quietly contests methods that distress Haumea. His involvement in recruiting Leonard Burns and clashes with Company 8 during the Ōbi’s Rescue arc underscores his ruthless dedication. Despite his antagonism, he grants begrudging respect to formidable opponents like Kurono and pragmatically allies with adversaries when safeguarding the Pillars demands it.
