Kharon was created when I was coming up for a custom of one of my friends. He wanted to be a villain so this design is what I came up with. However I liked the look so much that I made a version for myself, with a few tweaks, and decided to incorporate him into my own universe. I have had the figure done for quite awhile but he was without a name. About all I knew for sure was that he was a bounty hunter. His look reminded me of an old west desperado or something. When I decided to enter this contest, he was the only custom I hadn't submitted yet that I felt would be a good entry so I quickly hit the internet looking for a name. Once I found the name "Kharon", which is the Greek name of the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx. It felt like a good fit and I love using those types of names for original characters.

All his gear are custom casts from Broken Arrow Toys. As a matter of fact the gun belt, which is fully functional, was made by me and I sent it in to get made into a cast so that it is all one piece of plastic. I am quite fond of how well it turned out.
