When [[Katarina]] and the [[First Doctor]] approached Charon, they had no money. The Doctor pleaded for Charon to ferry her across the river, but Charon refused. The Doctor offered [[The Doctor's signet ring|his signet ring]] as payment, but Charon wouldn't take Katarina because she was "unclean". The Doctor took Charon's [[gold]] from him and scattered the coins. While Charon scrambled around trying to retrieve his gold, Katarina and the Doctor took his boat. He tried to stop them but failed.

This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at Charon (Katarina in the Underworld) because these are consistent interpretations of the same mythological figure.
