Which characters did Xena encounter in her series who began on Hercules?

Outside Herc & Iolaus themselves, of course. I can think of:

Salmoneus

Autolycus

Several Olympians: Hades, Aphrodite then Athena, Hephaestus, Zeus & Hera during the Twilight. Discord's cameo in The Deliverer opening actually aired a month before her first Herc episode.

Charon the boatman

Archangel Michael

This is another good reason why people should watch Hercules too.

Im sure the carriage driver gabrielle meets in the first episode was also in Hercules playing the same 'nameless' character... But i may be wrong? Nice list though I forgot half of them were in herc!

Wasn't Discord's first appearance in the Young Hercules pilot movie?

Kevin Smith as Ares originated on Xena, though he showed up on Hercules a lot. (Kevin Smith also played Herc's mortal brother Iphicles some times.) The character Ares originated in Hercules but pre-Kevin it was kind of... uh... yeah.
