History
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.
