Charon (Fallout 3)

Charon is a possible ghoul companion NPC in Fallout 3. Brainwashed as a child he is blindly loyal to the holder of his contract.

He resides in the Underworld as a bar bouncer. He can be hired for a sum of 2,000 caps (1,000 caps if your barter skill is high enough), and will loyally follow you after that. You can also retrieve his contract from his employer, by killing Greta in Carol's. His very first act as your new employee will be to have a "chat" with his former employer.

By default he uses a combat shotgun for his weapon, which appears to have infinite ammo as well as infinite durability, but this shotgun cannot be interacted with in any way. You can equip him with new armor and weapons which he'll happily wear. However, new weapons given to him do not have unlimited ammo so you'll have to keep an eye on his supply. His equipped gear appears to degrade with usage just like any other piece of gear.

It should be noted that he seems to be incredibly accurate with his default combat shotgun. There seems to be little to no spread when he fires, enabling him to hit targets at medium range with it.

One very interesting thing is that he knows how to use power armor. If you managed to acquire a suit of power armor early on but are unable to equip it yourself, give it to Charon. He is also the only NPC (along with dogmeat) that can join you regardless of your karma.

Trivia

 * Charon is most likely a take on the ferryman of the dead, Charon, of Greek Mythology

Appearances
Charon appears in Fallout 3.

Note - "Charon has left me after the virtual reality level, i still cannot find him, but am guessing he will reappear in the underworld soon."

Answer - "He stops following you after you exit that level. He will still be waiting inside, near that pod you sat in. You will need to talk to him again, and tell him to follow you again."

Note - If you return to the Statesman's Hotel after rescuing the Rangers and use the lift to the roof, Charon will not follow you up, and he'll be nowhere to be found when you get back down. When getting to the Rangers, be sure to find the Note to Moonbeam before finishing!

Answer - He does not follow you up but he was right outside the entrance when I got back down.

Note - "When I was captured by the Enclave and finally made it out, Charon was not with me. I have no idea where to look."

Answer - "Most of the NPCs(if not all) return to the place where you got them. So try going back to underworld and look for him there."
