Shin Megami Tensei IV
Charon appears in the Game Over sequence to ferry the protagonist across the river. However, this time he will ferry the protagonist back to the world of the living if he is payed enough money. His reason for doing this is that he is overworked and countless souls are waiting to cross and he wants to ease his load. If the protagonist chooses to die, Charon will give him a number and tell him to wait until the mountains turn to dust.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
Charon appears before the protagonist after Sid Davis kills him, telling him it's his time to cross the river. However, the protagonist is brought back to life before this can happen. Charon appears in the Game Over sequence to take him across the river after the first time failed.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Charon is a special Persona from the Death Arcana. He normally won't appear in the Velvet Room as a recruitable Persona until his Material Card, Styx, has been acquired at Mu Continent Casino for 10,000 coins.
