During this encounter, it is revealed that he joined the team after Mars. It's also here where the {{player}} discovers that Charon is, in fact, one of the four {{tc|Commander}}s, though the fact that he is the most junior among the Commanders' ranks is not revealed until the Stark Mountain sub quest. He made a minor appearance in the [[Team Galactic HQ]] in [[Veilstone City]] right next to [[Saturn]], where he was in front of the button to release the legendary Pokémon of the [[lake guardians]]. | ||
Charon's role in the game expands after the player defeats the [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] and obtains the [[National Pokédex]]. Upon seeing Cyrus and Saturn being defeated by the player, he sees that the team should have plans that complement his intelligence. After [[Cyrus]] retreats into the [[Distortion World]], Charon takes over Team Galactic and becomes the new leader. He takes Mars and [[Jupiter]] with him to the [[Battle Zone]] so he can retrieve the [[Magma Rock]] from inside [[Stark Mountain]] and capture {{p|Heatran}}. However, once the player encounters them, Mars and Jupiter quit because "things were more exciting when Cyrus was the leader." It is also at this time that the international police officer [[Looker]], who had been hunting Team Galactic since the beginning of the game, arrests Charon. He is not seen or heard from since. | Charon's role in the game expands after the player defeats the [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]] and obtains the [[National Pokédex]].
