The Ferryman (Korean: 골카론, golkaron, "Golcharon") is an NPC who appears in World Exploration's Forgotten Academy, releasing at launch.
The Ferryman is a ghostly emissary who grants GingerBrave and friends travel to the Academy of Magic, only asking for company and conversation as compensation for his service. Instead of using a boat or other mode of transportation, the Ferryman somehow allows for the Cookies to walk on water.
After the Cookies arrive, he insists that he "will remain by [their] side until the very end", though is quickly dissuaded by a single line from 
Chili Pepper Cookie.
