Charon and the Chalkers


As a child, Charlie Ronalds saw his parents gunned down by a mutant assailant. When he was an adolescent in an orphanage, his only friend Guido Carosella was hit by a bus and violently manifested his mutant abilities. Charlie attacked Guido, who lashed out in pain and struck Charlie. Charlie suffered a limp for the rest of his life.

When Charlie learned that Guido was a member of the government mutant task force X-Factor, he struck a bargain with the demon Cloot to grant him enough power to destory the mutants. As Charon, Charlie reanimated three souls whose hearts were full of hatred for X-Factor, the Chalkers. The battle was short and swift, and left the Chalkers returned to the land of the dead and Charon taken by Cloot for some "education."

Using Charon and the Chalkers in Your Campaign: Magical characters could easily cross paths with Charon, whose lust for power knows no bounds. If you have mutants in your party (and who doesn't?), then Charon and the Chalkers might come after them.

He left his hidden headquarters in such a hurry, however, that he didn't notice the tractor trailer bearing down on him. It wasn't pretty.
