They have a lot to do with afterlife and he is seen bringing the deceased to the Nemeton which is definitely a place of death. Another idea is a ferryman like Charon but they may be trying to stick to animals in the show. Lydia is a Banshee so they could have another non-animal creature.

I am now leaning heavily on the idea that Parrish could be a Charon or some sort of creature that helps the living cross over. It would be interesting to see if he only does this for supernatural creatures or not.

Also, the Nemeton is said to be a doorway between worlds so I think his creature "type" may have some significant connection beyond just being drawn to it. Idk, guess we'll see soon.

They did mention a tale in the first episode of season 5. In "The Wild Hunt," there are people that guide the souls to the dead. Hellhounds and psychopomps (a creature who leads the souls to the afterlife), are mentioned in the tale. They could change it into a Charon, if they go with a non-animal creature.
