Mammon

The Argent Prince

The archdevil Mammon is Hell's accountant and treasurer. He rules over the lightless realm of Erebus, the third plane of Hell, metaphorically located beneath the Iron City of Dis. His unholy symbol is an azure coin with the head of Mammon stamped on it. 

Appearance

Mammon once looked like a majestic angel with sleek muscles, gleaming eyes, and white hair; he retained this form after his fall until he was defeated by Sarenrae. Now, all kinds of wealth in Erebus contribute to his body. When receiving visitors, he possesses the Argent Prince, a silvery replica of Mammon's old angelic body. When attending council with fellow archdevils, he instructs his servants to carry a specifically chosen trove to Nessus, so that he can take the most majestic form possible. As his senses extend across every coin in Erebus' hoard, Mammon has become a mathematical genius, capable of instantly accounting for his wealth and that of Hell.
Unknown to anyone but himself, Mammon is incomplete. In the centuries drifting in the Maelstrom after his first defeat, he lost a mighty gem, which he considers his heart, and he can only sense that it floats somewhere dark. He regularly sends servants to search for it but never reveals its true importance to his peers, lest he appears weak or vulnerable.

Personality

Mammon is an utterly selfish entity that practically personify greed with his insatiable desire. He is a ruthless hunter who will unrelentingly pursue his prey, whether it be an actual quarry or future possessions, but is indifferent to his prize once it is actually obtained, and will swiftly move on to new targets. Mammon is wholly materialistic and measures worth in regards to monetary value. He makes deals solely for the purpose of making a profit and otherwise doesn't care about the results of the exchange. Alongside being avaricious, Mammon is also megalomaniacal, lusting after power and always scheming to acquire more of it. 

Home

Mammon's throne lies in a many-pillared vault filled with mirrors, crystal statues, and gem-encrusted floating bubbles. His ruined angelic body lies within Mammon's chest, a vault at the heart of Erebus.

History

Mammon was once the angel empyreal lord of gems and silver before he betrayed Heaven and joined with Asmodeus in his Exodus into Hell. During the Battle of the Triune Star, Mammon discovered the proteans and sought to turn them against Asmodeus' foes, but he was surprised by Sarenrae and her hosts. In the end, Mammon was cut down, his corpse falling upon the 13,001 gem-filled chests he brought to buy the proteans' aid and left to drift in the Maelstrom.
Centuries after, agents of Mephistopheles retrieved Mammon and brought him back to Hell. Asmodeus had him brought to the vaults under Dis, where the other archdevils laid him amid a vast trove. However, the fury of the Maelstrom and the power of Hell somehow combined to remake Mammon, who turned his burial treasure into his new body. Asmodeus, intrigued, supplied Mammon with wealth from Nessus and remade his crypt into Erebus, his new realm.

Worshipers

Both the greedy and the poor pray to Mammon for comforts like money or station. He usually answers by arranging for the supplicant to discover a 'lucky coin' from Erebus, through which he whispers to them to engage in increasingly evil acts to get what they want.
