(Added explanation for the Mammonian Clause and how it may be widespread, but not universal due to bribing other archfiends.) |

Mammon is the Lord of Greed and a powerful ruling Archdevil in The Ten Hells. His symbol is a devil's head with long curling horns paired with the symbol for wealth.
History[edit | edit source]
For a majority of Quelmar history Mammon was one of Quelmar's weaker Archdevil lords, focusing more on gaining wealth rather then gaining power and status in the Hells.
During the period the Archdevil Glasya was missing during the late 840s PR, and while Asmodeus was focused on Hellmar, Mammon made a series of major economical moves, purchasing a number of properties across the Hells and endearing himself to other Archdevils by funding their personal projects. In addition he established a number of major shops and became the Hells largest importer and exporter of sold goods. During this time he established and promulgated the Mammonian Clause in hell's legal system, an optional addendum to hellish contracts where the signatory could buy out of their contract with a massive payment of gold, a majority of which went to Mammon. To incentivize the archdevils to require the inclusion of this clause among their subordinates, Mammon offered funding for several of their personal projects on the condition that the clause was automatically added to all of their future contracts with mortals. When Glasya returned to the Hells, Mammon moved back into the shadows.
Since then Mammon has been missing. Due to the structuring of his Infernal Empire, his foundation of power has remained, with any who may wish to claim his power to well funded, bribed, or intimidated to try to claim his empty throne. Many of his servants continue his mission in expanding and defending their lord's wealth.
Servants [edit | edit source]
- Baron Samuel Boarhide, an Archdevil servant of Mammon operating Infernal Gold mines on the first layer of Hell, Duumal.
- Kalzivach, a Pit Fiend servant of Mammon and Lord of the Seventh Infernal Bank. In 894 PR he entered into Eastern Amusa and began to make deals and perform rituals in order to circumvent The Pact Primeval and to find Mammon.
- In 894 PR a number of Mammon's servants working under Kalzivach were discovered in the bowels of a draconic temple to Kavanmort. They were discovered performing a ritual that allowed them to circumvent the Pact Primeval by using willing humanoid hosts to become mortal, technically no longer being devils and allowing them to harm mortals. The only consequence of this ritual was that if the devil were to be slain, their spirit would be destroyed instead of returning to the Ten Hells.
