Further in the Grimoire

Charnabon

Charnabon (also attested as Carnabon) is a figure from Greek mythic fragments described as a mortal king of the Getae/Thrace who treacherously attacked the culture-hero Triptolemus during the latter's mission to disseminate agriculture; Demeter punished him and, in the tradition, placed him among the stars as the constellation Ophiuchus.

Charon

Charon (Χάρων) is the ferryman of the Greek underworld who conveys the souls of the dead across the boundary river (variously Acheron or Styx). He functions as an underworld attendant and psychopomp whose service typically requires funeral rites and payment (Charon's obol).

Charon's Obol

In Roman tradition, Charon's obol is a payment or bribe given to Charon, the ferryman of the dead, to ensure safe passage across the afterlife. (Note: - Power tier should be Lesser, as it's a payment or bribe, not a cosmic entity. - Remove mention of supernatural powers, as the text states it serves as a payment for Charon's services. - Add that the)

Charun

An Etruscan chthonic attendant and psychopomp depicted in funerary art; Charun escorts the dead to the underworld and appears in grotesque, monstrous form often bearing a hammer. He is typically an underworld functionary rather than the sovereign ruler of the dead.

Charybdis

In Greek myth, Charybdis is a sea-associated monstrous force localized to the Strait of Messina, treated in sources either as an anthropomorphized sea-monster or as a violent whirlpool/stream that three times a day swallows and belches the sea. Paired with Scylla, she functions as an unavoidable maritime hazard and proverbial dilemma for voyagers.

Chaturbhuja

Hindu iconographic concept of a deity with four arms, symbolizing power and divinity in Hindu art and literature. (Note: - Power tier should be "Ancient" or even "Primordial", given that it represents a concept associated with deities and symbols of cosmic power. - Abilities claim is partially accurate but could be clea)

Chazaqiel

Chazaqiel is named in modern summaries of the Book of Enoch tradition as one of the leaders among the two hundred Watchers who 'fell'; he is repeatedly glossed in the supplied sources as the teacher of knowledge about clouds or meteorology and is etymologically linked to clouds or sky phenomena.

Chebi Khan (Ashina Hubo)

Chebi Khan (Yizhuchebi Khagan; personal name Ashina Hubo) was a historical claimant and later khagan of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate in the mid-7th century CE who rebuilt a measure of Turkic authority after the collapse of the khaganate, before being captured by Tang forces and taken to Chang'an in 650.

Chedorlaomer

A foreign king identified in Genesis 14 as 'king of Elam' who leads a coalition of rulers to extract tribute from Levantine city-states and conducts a punitive campaign that results in capture of Lot and subsequent defeat by Abram/Abraham. The name is widely analyzed as an Elamite theophoric compound (Kudur/Kudur- + Lagamar) but lacks uncontested extrabiblical attestation.

Chelone

Chelone is primarily documented as a botanical genus of perennial plants native to eastern North America (commonly called turtlehead or balmony) and secondarily as the name of a nymph attested in classical Aesopic fable tradition. The sources provide horticultural, taxonomic, and herbal-medicinal information for the plants and only a brief literary mention for the mythic name.

Chemical King

Chemical King is a fictional DC Comics character (codename) first appearing in Adventure Comics #371 (1968) as a member of the Legion of Super‑Heroes in the 31st century; his civilian/given name is Condo Arlik, born on the planet Phlon. He is portrayed as a metahuman able to accelerate or decelerate chemical reactions, and his narrative history across DC editorial reboots includes a canonical death (Superboy and the Legion of Super‑Heroes #228, 1977), a post-Zero Hour repurposing, and a restored-deceased status in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds #1.

Centered on a historical/legendary migrant craftsman who became a local immortal, his cult is maintained in Chinese temples and by indigenous Kejawen practitioners and functions as a protective, communal ancestor patron.
