An old archetype, the ferryman is a character (and sometimes Deus ex Machina) who acts as a guide or aid to another character, allowing them to travel over near-impossible obstacles to reach (or at least help reach) a specific destination. The most classic depiction is Charon of the River Styx,note Early sources have him ply the River Acheron instead. who aided souls across said river if he was paid, as there was a worse price to pay if you tried to swim through the waters. And like Charon, the archetype's representative need not be good or even evil; the character need not also be a literal ferryman; practically anything that can transport something/someone from one place to another is considered acceptable, including flight, teleportation, or even "dream walking." In some cases the Ferryman is the neutral counterpart to the Mentor, even adviser, as the ferryman can guide through more than just the obstacles of the physical spectrum… though usually at a price/reason of fair enough degree (be it a coin of burial gold, or a promise to aid the nation's resistance against the Empire). Not to be confused with the play of the same time written by Jez Butterworth. |

There's a character in The Amber Spyglass who is basically Charon, though he's not named. He (unwillingly, as they're not actually dead yet) ferries Lyra and Will to the land of the dead. | |

In Promethea, Sophia Bangs ascends onto the higher levels of the Immateria in order to find her predecessor, Barbara, to finish the business she had with her. On the way to the first Sephirot, she enlists the help of Charon the Ferrymen from Classical Mythology (confusing him for an allegorical character from a 16th century engraving she ran into earlier since they both come from the same "old man" archetype), who agrees to take her to the Nancy Nox, a houseboat from an old story her ancestor wrote. As she steps off of his boat, he asks for payment, Promethea finding a pentacle-coin in her pocket, Charon claiming that it represents her earthly awareness, something she will not need on her journey. | |

Spider-Man 2099: It's heavily implied that Dash the taxi driver (and later bus driver) is this. The first time Miguel encounters him as a kid, he appears to be an average dude who gives good advice (and accidentaly kicks off half the plot of the comic). The second time, when Miguel is an adult, his appearance is completely unchanged, he is driving a bus full of average-looking but off-putting people on a rocky road numbered 666 which is "paved with good intentions", and somehow knows Miguel's Secret Identity. In addition, his bus is being chased by bizarre beings that target the passengers. Miguel is left wondering if it was just a dream once all is said and done. | |

In Tales of Monkey Island, when Guybrush arrives at the Crossroads Gateway as a Ghost Pirate, he encounters a skeletal Ferryman with a gold tooth who keeps his boat clean and bears a slight resemblance to the Lost Welshman; except that this Ferryman needs to be paid with "the golden eyes of everlasting sleep", i.e., two gold coins that are placed on the eyes of the dead, so that he can ferry arriving souls to the Center of the Crossroads (just like in Greek mythology), after which he'll no longer appear once his journey is complete. | |

Across the Shin Megami Tensei series, he has appeared with some regularity - he appeared as a Persona of the Death Arcana in Persona 2 and in an actual gameplay role in Shin Megami Tensei IV. Should you die, you will be taken before him at the shores of the Styx - except he's massively overworked and quite willing to look the other way to take you back. The problem is doing so is technically against his duties as a ferryman, but no worries there... Macca opens all doors. | |

The DJ who opens and closes The Weeknd's Concept Album Dawn FM is this, easing the listener through the experience of death and, in the closing track "Phantom Regret by Jim", guiding them out of Purgatory to Heaven. "Jim" refers to his performer, Jim Carrey, and as that casting suggests he's portrayed as a Trickster Mentor prone to light snarking and wordplay, with the closing track a rhyming poem with Dr. Seuss-ian rhythms and sentiments. | |

The Divine Comedy: The first one is Charon, the classic archetype. He ferries the souls of the recently deceased sinners across the river Acheron to Hell. The second one is Phlegyasnote Phlegyas was a Greek king whose daughter was raped by Apollo. He became so enraged that he burned down a temple dedicated to said god, getting killed by Apollo in retaliation. This, in Dante's mind, was enough to make him a symbol of wrath, who ferries Dante and Virgil across the Styx in the fifth circle of Hell. The third one is an angel who guides ferries the souls of the repentant dead to the foot of Mount Purgatorio. This angelic figure, with its great speed and holy guise, contrasts with the gruesome beings that travel throughout the Inferno Dante had just climbed out of. |

King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne has one to help Graham to the vampire's castle. The Fan Remake version gets creepier as he Was Once a Man, and knows why Graham is there, but will ferry him anyway. A second one is in King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, literally ferrying the souls of the dead across the underworld's river—if they have their fare, that is. If you don't have yours, you die. | |

2000 AD: In The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael (and the Dead Left in His Wake), the ferryman appears as a grizzled old prospector type who carries each soul down the river towards judgement. He's also the instigator of the whole series as he wanted to escape an eternity of service by going to the land of the living. He manipulated Ichabod to create a portal there by giving him fake memories of a woman he loved as well as the means to fight demons and angels. However, if Charon just abandons his job, all reality will start to unravel. One of the various contract killers who inhabit Downlode in Sinister Dexter is named Charon, and he has a day job as a taxi driver. His eyes are purple with white skulls for pupils. Kal Cutter is the first person ever to notice the symbolism. |

Pathfinder thanadaemons can be hired to bring you anywhere the interplanar River Styx flows on their skiffs, though they have a tendency to renegotiate their payment mid-journey. And even people powerful enough not to fear a thanadaemon's betrayal should be wary of their master Charon, Horseman of Death, who has a fondness for impersonating them. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, one subset of the fiendish Yugoloths are the Marraenoloths, near-skeletal figures in tattered robes who make a living plying the River Styx. They remain strictly neutral in the Blood War, allowing them access to all the Lower Planes, and their supernatural nautical skills make them among the safest options for getting around the worst part of the Great Wheel. But since they are at heart mercenaries, there's a small chance that they'll deliver passengers into an ambush arranged by a third party, a chance that can be reduced by paying them more than their asking fee, of course. | |

Death plays this role in Slightly Damned. Souls are buried with coins to pay him to carry them across the river to whatever their destined afterlife is. Souls who are not buried with money or who refuse to pay have to swim to the afterlife. | |

Wonder Woman features Charon himself across several versions. In Wonder Woman (1987) getting passage on Charon's boat is the safest and surest way to reach the part of the underworld that is actually Hades and Elysium and Tartarus can only be reached by passing through Hades and past Elysium. In Wonder Woman: Odyssey Charon remains at the banks of the river, even while the realm of Hades is overflowing and crumbling in the wake of Hades' disappearance. |

In Les Misérables, a pair of dead characters reappear to usher another into the afterlife. When Jean Valjean is dying, Fantine appears first, echoing Valjean's words to comfort her as she was dying, before disappearing when Cosette and Marius enter. Then when Valjean is fully dead, she and Eponine come and take him to heaven, where Enjolras, Gavroche, and the other dead students are waiting. In the 2012 film, Eponine is replaced by the Bishop from early in the show (despite the fact that the Bishop's death is only mentioned in the book and not in the show or movie). | |

One of the gods of Theros (each inspired by Greek deities) in Magic: The Gathering is Athreos who's an Expy of Charon. His duties are incorporated into his card's effect, which forces your opponent to pay a toll of life in order to ensure that your creatures stay dead. The Dungeons and Dragons supplement Mythic Oddysies of Theros exapnds on his character, and offers one explanation for why he demands a coin from each soul: Athreos was the first mortal to ever die, and got saddled with the job of ferrying all who came after him by the gods who didn't want to do it themselves. They promised Athreos he could be free to join them if he collects five coins they scattered into the world, and he's still looking for them. Given Theros is run by Clap Your Hands If You Believe, it's likely this story is exactly as true as mortals believe it to be. | |

Wraith: The Oblivion: The Ferrymen are a society of wraiths who have sworn an oath to protect those who seek Transcendence, and to police the Underworld for those who would abuse the living. Charon was one of them, back when they first began, but they went separate ways after Charon became ruler of Stygia, the Western Underworld. They are not quite like other wraiths; their initiation ritual transforms them, giving them powers and weaknesses other wraiths do not share (it should be noted that Charon never underwent the ritual, though he's unique in other ways). The Harbingers' Guild specializes in Argos, the art of Underworld travel, its members making use of it to serve various roles in the Underworld, such as guides, traders, explorers and messengers. |

The Pirates of the Caribbean series has Davy Jones, who was supposed to fill the Charon role of ferrying souls who died at sea to the afterlife, but after being spurned by his former lover, the goddess Calypso, who embodied the sea itself, he instead turned his passengers into monstrous slaves, justifying his behaviour with "Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?" After his death, the lead character, Will Turner, ends up becoming his Redeeming Replacement, properly doing his duties for 10 years before returning to his wife in The Stinger. | |

The Curse of Monkey Island has one, but it's the Lost Welshman who needs a compass so that he can send Guybrush to Skull Island. In Tales of Monkey Island, when Guybrush arrives at the Crossroads Gateway as a Ghost Pirate, he encounters a skeletal Ferryman with a gold tooth who keeps his boat clean and bears a slight resemblance to the Lost Welshman; except that this Ferryman needs to be paid with "the golden eyes of everlasting sleep", i.e., two gold coins that are placed on the eyes of the dead, so that he can ferry arriving souls to the Center of the Crossroads (just like in Greek mythology), after which he'll no longer appear once his journey is complete. |

Charon naturally makes an appearance in Hades, selling items on the bank of the Styx. While Zagreus would happily pay his fee to be brought to the world of the living, he unfortunately never takes him up on the offer. He does, however, take Zagreus and Persephone back down the river when the latter returns to the underworld in the game's ending. Charon also serves as a shopkeeper and provides the prince with various wares for a price, punishing theft by engaging him in a challenging fight. | |

The Barge of the Dead is the mythological ship to Gre'thor, captained by Kortar, the very first Klingon.

In Saint Seiya, the heroes come across the Acheron river after arriving on Hades's Underworld. In order to get across it, they need to be escorted by Acheron Charon, one of the Specters under Hades. Like its classic counterpart, he allows the Saints of Athena to embark on his boat even though they're enemies, as long as they can pay the equivalent toll, which is paid by Shun with a pendant he had as a memento of his mother. | |
