Ogryn Charonites are a type of heavy assault Ogryn troops used by the [[Solar Auxilia]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Charonite squads have been biochemically and cybernetically altered using ancient technologies, [[Heresy|possibly of xenos origin,]] that have been deemed unholy by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Because of this they considered controversial to the cogboys/gals. With the Ogryns' hands and forearms replaced by a brutal collection of mechanisms known as [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Charonite Claws|Charonite claws,]] which amplify their already fearsome strength, Ogryn Charonite squads can rip through armor plating with ease, devastating their foes in the brutal confines of boarding actions.

During the height of the Great Crusade, Auxilia Ogryn Charonites could readily be found among the arsenals of several void-capable human pocket-civilizations of Segmentum Solar, such as the Saturnyne Enclaves. Despite protests from the Mechanicum, the [[Solar Auxilia]] found them to be so useful that they simply [[Troll|ignore the screeching of a enraged Magos.]] The Solar Auxilia obtained a dispensation for the creation and use of Charonites in limited numbers. This was further facilitated by the [[Heresy|strong ties the early Solar Auxilia maintained through their own origins with the Saturnyne Enclaves, Terra and the celestial keeps of Pavonis which had all retained much of their independence from the Imperial rule.]]

Despite their semi-heretical nature, the Charonites were so god damned loyal that most of them fought at the behest of the Imperium rather than snitching the [[Emprah]] and joining bad boi Horus. In retrospect, the Charonites were maybe the precursors of the Bullgryns. It is not known whether they are still in use, but due to their closet heresy, it can be safe to assume that all of them were either [[Blam|decommissioned]] or [[Stormbird|mothballed.]]
