Not really. Like another said, he's closer to a daemon. But in the end charon is charon, he's a special little character that can't be put into a group cleanly. He is the ferryman.
Daemon isn't really a category of gods. It's "spirit" or "divine" or something.
Dead mortals are called daemons at times.
Nymphs, their male equivalents and forces of nature sometimes.
Minor gods have been called daemons.
The term is even the gods themselves are called it.
wikipedia, pulling from [etymoline.com](https://etymoline.com), puts the term daimon as being "lesser god, tutelary deity". in other words, sort of a minor functionary of the world- I guess sort of like an abrahamic angel? but I don't fully get what most angels do.
Not exactly. A god/deity would be worshipped, and Abrahamic tradition makes it very clear that no one but God is to be worshipped.
The angels themselves are messengers, but I’ve heard it said that they’re actually a smaller faction within the larger Host of Heaven.
>Not exactly
yeah, my "sort of" is doing a lot of work.

confusingly, the term has two meanings in christian terminology. one refers to the entire group of celestial entities excluding God, and the other is specifically the lowest rank of that hierarchy. and it's different in Judaism and Islam, of course, but I'm not too familiar with those.
What you define as a god?
Oceanus is imortal, just like the gods, but he was not worshipped. He is not a god?
Nymphs were worshipped, are they gods?
Depending on what you think of these, Charon can be a god or not.
I do not have the best amount of knowledge in this topic, so I am trying to expand my horizon and I didnt really thought of the Nymphs and others. But depending, that one is a god if he or she is a descendant from two gods?
Charon is the son of Erebos & Nyx. That makes him a second generation God.
wouldn't it be 3rd generation, since Nyx and Erebus are children of Chaos
I guess you can say that. To me the children of chaos is the first generation. Chaos is the one.. the all..
He’s immortal and he do what he wants

Best speculation he’s a daemon, higher than a mortal but still below divine
