Background

Charon Xan'tai was born on the Erasmus, a massive cargo ship which travelled as part of a nomadic flotilla of voidships belonging to the Navigator House Xan'tai. He spent his youth aboard the Erasmus with his House as it plied the warp routes and trade lanes of the Calixis Sector, and dedicated himself to studying the mysteries of the Empyrean and of the stars themselves. A promising student, Charon showed remarkable aptitude at his duties, even for a scion of a nomadic house, and many whispers were spoken amongst the House elders about his great potential. Charon himself dreamed of one day living up to this potential and would sometimes spend days at a time cloistered away in the Erasmus' librarium vault, taking his meals there amidst ancient tomes and dusty old cogitator cores.

Raised with a strong sense of loyalty and duty to the God-Emperor of Mankind, Charon anxiously left the Erasmus upon reaching his adulthood, and eagerly took up a position in the Imperial Navy, serving as a lesser Navigator aboard a Dauntless-class light cruiser, the Sword of Scintilla. The ship made regular patrols along the warp storms on the rimward edge of the Calixis Sector, and it was during one of these patrols that disaster struck. While surveying the wildernes space bordering the Screaming Vortex, a sudden and catastrophic swelling in the warp currents broke out into a warp storm, which killed the Navigator Primaris and sent the ship veering off course in the tides of the Empyrean. A young and relatively inexperienced Charon was forced to take position in the Navigator's well and guide the ship through the storm to safety, enduring the horrors of the warp as daemonic abominations clawed at the Geller Field, snapping their jaws at the fringes of Charon's mind.

Since those early days Charon has become quite a respected young Navigator, and yearns to do yet more. For this purpose, he readily agreed to fulfill the ancient contract held by the Maroke Dynasty with House Xan'tai, despite that Rogue Trader line's recent disgrace. His hope is that Genzer Maroke's journey into the Koronus Expanse will lead to greater renown and challenges for him, which will surely only lead to greater status and prestige in his House.

Appearance

Charon's mutation is very obvious, for he is inhumanly tall and thin, with spindly limbs and hands like those of a skeleton. However, despite his apparent frailty he is not without strength nor determination, which his stoic and reserved demeanour imparts. He conceals much of his thin frame with dark and voluminous robes bedecked in golden finery, along with a heavy cowl which casts most of his face in shadow. His tall adamantine staff, surmounted by the symbol of the third eye, peals against the ship's deck as he walks.
