Charonfor other, similarly-named pages.
The Charon were a race retroactively destroyed by the Time Lords billions of years ago in the Time Wars.
The Charons had the ability to warp the fabric of the universe. The Time Lords erased the Charons before they existed as they feared that no other life in the universe could co-exist with them.
One individual Charon somehow survived the death of its people. It constructed a pocket universe with its own physical laws. It populated it with many different forms of life, including humans, Reklonians, Aneans, and various other species.
Thousands of years later - as the System was being ransacked by a race of shapeshifters named the Sloathes. By the time of the Sloathe invasion, its abilities had weakened so much that it was effectively trapped within the System. The only way it could influence the System around it was through an extremely painstaking use of the observer effect - influencing the beings living within the System to do its bidding. The Charon manipulated the inhabitants of its universe to bring the Eyes of the Schirron to it. This would trigger its rebirth cycle, but also destroy its universe and everything in it. The Seventh Doctor confronted the Charon and learned that, after being alone for so long, it wanted to die. The Doctor sadly granted its wish. (PROSE: Sky Pirates!)
