Mammon

Mammon is a demon in the series.
==History==
Mammon is a high ranking demon in Hell and is also one of the seven princes of hell, each representing the Seven Deadly Sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Wrath and Pride). Mammon represents the sin of Greed. Later demonological writings such as De Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal attributes Mammon as hell's ambassador to England. For Thomas Carlyle in Past and Present, the "Gospel of Mammonism" became simply a metaphoric personification for the materialist spirit of the nineteenth century.
During his time in Heaven, he was depicted as forever looking downward at Heaven's golden pavement rather then God himself. After the rebellion in Heaven, Mammon was banished to Hell where he is the one who finds underground precious metal that his demonic companions use to build their capital city, Pandemonium by Lucifer's order. Mammon counsels the devils to be happy with what they have got, and to create a home for themselves in Hell.
In some sources, Mammon was originally a term derived from the Christian Bible used to describe material wealth or greed, most often personified as a deity. In the Bible, Mammon is personified in Luke 16:13, and Matthew 6:24, the latter verse repeating the former. In some translations, Luke 16:9 and Luke 16:11 also personify mammon; but in others, it is translated as "dishonest wealth" or some other equivalent. In some Spanish versions, it is referred to as "Mamón," but in others, it is "Dinero" (Spanish for "money").

The Tyrant who rules over Fire Land. In Black Book, Mammon reveals to Setsuna Kai that the demon lord currently ruling the Expanse is actually the impostor Azel and that the true demon lord, Lucifer, is being held prisoner in the depths of Central Land's palace. He also reveals that Lucifer is Setsuna's father.
In Red Book, Mammon tells Mirai Kaname that he knows her father, but doesn't know where he is. Regardless of the version being played, Mammon holds the last Messiah Horn (Black Book) / Messiah Eye (Red Book) but instead of handing it over to the protagonist after challenging them to a battle, the Horn/Eye has to be bought from him for 100,000 Macca.

===DemiKids Light & Dark===
===Persona 5===
Mammon is Kunikazu Okumura's shadow, representing his greed and fixation on ascending into the political world; so much so, that he is willing to sacrifice his own company, his employees and even his own daughter as stepping stones to do so. Unlike most other bosses in the game that represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins, he does not transform into a monster nor does he have any offensive abilities, instead summoning his Corporobo minions to attack.
