In Cults of Terror/Gods of Glorantha there was a Jeset(?), who ferried the dead on their journey. Though I think he is only a spirit(?) that takes souls on a short boat ride as part of their journey after death.
There is also a reference in Cults of Prax which suggested that the Lunar 'Immortal' Danfive Xaron, had some conection to the Ferryman of the Dead, (as a result of his role in the Seven Mothers' quest?)
Wish I could refer to my books and provide the group with quotations.
Don't know if either idea is still current though.
