    Death and Charon are, in a way, like Santa Claus and Father Christmas. Often conflated but not actually the same entity.

    What one does we can’t say for sure the other also does.

    And that doesn’t even consider that Death in one universe might not be the same entity as Death in another, although maybe that’s just “Death / Charon” again at a higher level of meta.

      Have you read Discworld or did you just come out with that?! Because Death taking over for Santa Claus is exactly the plot of “Hogfather”. My mind is going to blow if you didn’t know that.
