	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Charun
		In Etruscan mythology, Charun (also spelled Charu, or Karun) was the psychopomp of the underworld, not to be confused with the lord of the underworld, known to the Etruscans as Aita.
		The relief on the sarcophagus of Laris Pulenas at Tarquinia, shows two Charuns swinging their hammers at a person's head, though the head (probably that of Pulenas, the nobleman whose sarcophagus it is) no longer survives in the relief due to an accident of preservation.
		Charun is believed to have worked with many assistants in the Underworld, although they could be independent deities in their own right.

	Charun the Hammerer and Thrall of Charun - Giant in the Playground Forums
		Charun the Hammerer is a massive brutish demon lord who's very existance seems to be to cause damage and pain to all around him.
		That aside, Kostchtchie and Charun are vicious rivals, waging wars on eachother to see who is the greater warrior but Kostchtchie is often found the victor because the only times they've fought, he has been in higher numbers and they've only fought on his layer, The Iron Wastes.
		Quests in the name of Charun are almost always bloody warfare on other demon lords or good aligned churches and organizations and if there are any survivors they use them all as either food (the church is commonly full of cannibals) or sacrifices.

	Wraith: the Arising - Chapter Two: Dead Society - History and Other Myths - The Book of Old Times
		There they were brought before the throne of Charun, there to say of their lives, their deeds and their ends.
		Charun had clearly been forced out of his previous position as lord of the dead, and he sent the Ferrymen to try and breach the surface, to see what remained.
		She told him that looking after the forgotten dead "was his mandate made plain." Thus did Charun proclaim the Concord, taking a year and a day to come up with the simple rules of its governance, with help from Vanth, the shades of old and his Ferrymen.

		Touching a person's head in Thailand is very disrespectful and this combined with a sneer was the way Charun let Smandych know, that he did not respect him at all.
		Charun would keep his range and successfully teep the Canadian out of range.
		There was no knockdown rule in effect but Charun's corner threw in the towel and Smandych won the title by 4th round TKO.

	Charun & Thanatos: Axe or Hammer? Sword or Torch?
		The Charun on the left side is so sloppily drawn that his name had to be printed above him -- twice: both from left to right and from right to left; and his hammer or axe is so badly drawn it looks more like a limp balloon than a lethal instrument.
		The Charun on the right is much better drawn, and his tool huge, but it's crude and blunt on its business edge, and convex on top, so it's probably a hammer, not an axe.
		Some think Charun's hammer was modelled on the wooden mallet used by gate-keepers to knock in and out the heavy wooden beam that locked the gates to a citadel or city.

	Charun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Charun is a figure in Etruscan mythology, dating back to approximately 900-500 years before the common era.
		Most likely Charun was replaced when the Trojans arrived in Italy, and the Greek faith mingled with the Italian faith to become the Roman faith.
		The similar function of Charun and Chárôn likely paved the way for their conflation, to the point that Charun is largely forgotten, as is much of the Etruscan culture that was not absorbed into that of the Romans

		The two-day meeting would also focus on epidemiological behaviour of avian flu, scientific data of virus infection among poultry and people, preventive health-care measures, research on the recent family clusters of probable human-to-human transmission in Kamphaeng Phet province and the southern Vietnamese city of Dong Thap.

		Charun, the demon of death makes his appearance in Tarquinia, Arezzo, Volsinii, Bologna; other demons Vanth, Culsu, and the Lasa appear in Volterra, Volsinii and Tarquinia.
		FINAL CONSIDERATIONS In the period considered above it is deduced that for at least 60 years in Etruria the spirit of supremacy and retaliation revived toward outside enemies.
		Thanks to the Spurinnas, Charun, the demon of death was temporarily put to flight from the mind of the Etruscans.

	Hyperstition: This nebulous thing
		I have a post especially on the Charun & Vanth beside the tomb entrance that you show, tough my illustration is from the wonderful NG article that shows the two children about to enter the tomb.
		My major post in the ETRURIA group at AncientWorlds is "Charun & Thanatos: Axe or Hammer, Sword or Torch" and gives my "final solution" to a controversy among, and with, Etruscan archeologists on whether Charun carries a double-edged axe or hammer, and whether the other demon's object is a sword or torch.
		In the famous, puzzling mural in the Tomb of the Blue Demons, a winged red-haired demon with snakes is facing, and, seemingly, about to ward off, a truly evil-looking, fl-skinned demon rushing toward the newly-deceased arrivals in the Underworld.
