Charon (Fallout 3)

Charon is the Ghoul bouncer of the Ninth Circle, a guard for the Underworld and a recruitable companion $$

Background
In his youth, Charon grew up around an "interesting group of individuals" that effectively brainwashed him, making him loyal to whomever holds his contract. Charon's current contract holder, Ahzrukhal, mentions that a series of choices brought Charon into his employ. While employed under Ahzrukal, Charon serves as his personal bodyguard and soldier. He is sent out every "couple of days" packed with weaponry and returns with a bag of Caps. Charon will refuse to speak to anyone, deferring them to "Talk to Ahzrukal."

Charon, along with Cerberus, is responsible for dealing with threats to the Underworld, including Raiders and Slavers. He also watches over the The Ninth Circle and keeps drunkards in line. Though Charon is loyal to Ahzrukal, he is unhappy with his employment and states that Ahzrukal is "an evil bastard." If his contract is purchased, Charon will kill Ahzrukal to "rid the world of [the] disgusting rat." Azhrukal mentions that Charon has an "annoying sense of morality." Charon is also said to never sleep.
