## History

Mammon was initially born human--like all sins--in what is believed to be the Dark Ages of England. He had been an expert thief since birth and in his area was considered a troublemaker resulting in him being in an on-the-run lifestyle for most of his life. In his late teens he had ended up inadvertently saving a member of the Thieves Band, which resulted in him being recruited. As he continued his life of crime he later discovered the monarchy had come into possession of an heirloom of his, an unnamed forked cobalt claymore. He was intent on getting it back whatever the cost. He would come across the spirits of deities indirectly resulting in him gaining drastically stunted aging. After dissension in the Thieves Guild caused by his own doing and his role in the killing of the area's Prince, he would be banished not just from his own town, but also the country. By that point, it hadn't mattered to Mammon as he had obtained the Mourning Blade, his family's heirloom and the Ring of Sacrifice. He would reside in Scandinavia inadvertently coming across a band of Vikings spearheaded by someone he would know quite well in the future. Not long afterward he would return to England indirectly aiding the Scandinavians in finding the British and causing the destruction of his own village. He decided that he would retire from a life of crime and for centuries, he did. Until he moved to America and began participating in the wave of organized crime in the 1930's. Not long after he would be recruited by Satan, and bound by a Contract of Souls. This would make him immortal and grant him rulership over the 7th layer at the cost of his humanity. Since then he had helped Satan greatly before staging a coup with the rest of the sins to destroy Satan incapacitating himself and the rest of the sins who would later be awoken by Malignagon's revival. In his new life, he would become a nomad and travel all across Universe Prime eventually having a relationship with a Titan woman and settling in Titansvera for a while.

## Personality

Mammon is cunning, deceitful, and certainly not pure. While charismatic and charming, he has only used those to hurt others and step on them to raise himself up. Like his grandson Annihilus, he was never shy about lying to others and often used this to get ahead of others or betray others. He is so deceitful that at times, even his closest friends are unsure of his ability to keep promises. It is clear he cared about Vastus's death, but not his wishes, as he urged Annihilus to kill his parent's killers and seek brutal revenge. He also believes the only way that those can rise up in their lives is to lie, deceive, cheat, and step on one's opponents, saying that is how most of the most powerful beings in Universe Prime operate.

## Physical and Mental Analysis

Physicus and Mech have done an analysis and profile on Mammon, here is what they've found:

* Mammon is a channeler, with no potential to use natural magic or tomes.
* He has a wide variety of channeling diamonds, the jewels (specifically diamond prisms) best-suited for channeling, these diamonds allow him to cast a variety of spells.
	+ He has so many diamonds, that he carries a pack with him.
* He is very sarcastic and tends to banter and insult even his closest friends.
* He despises Fimbulwintr for killing his sons and has said that had his sons not chosen to spare him later on, he would be long since dead.
	+ Mammon heavily holds grudges, so much so that he never forgets the faces and names of those who wrong him.
* His eyes are red, but his skin color is not the same, he does not have the typical brown or dark red skin color, but is navy blue in skin color.
* Mammon is the shortest of the sins at 5"7' (Roughly 178cm), with his true form only reaching roughly 8ft (254 cm).
* Mammon and Belphegor, although nearly polar opposites, are good friends as stated by Mammon himself. Mammon even states that he would trust him with his life.
* He hates the Virtues, not because they are polar opposites in belief, but because he believes they are incredibly pretentious and that their beliefs are not truly realistic in the scope of the universe they live in.
	+ While he does despise the Virtues, he finds it incredibly tiresome to continue warring with them.
* Mammon is a family man and constantly communicates with his family, even stating that if he was not bound to Hell, he would likely join the World Enders Pantheon.

## Relationships

Daemon Sultan (Neutral) - Mammon had always been interested in the Lovecraftian magic, but after seeing what it did to those who did dabble with it, he knew he had no choice but to give up on it. He has never met the Daemon Sultan in person however, but wishes to meet him at least once in the hopes his magic could potentially improve.

Annihilus (Positive) - Both get on the other's nerves, but deep down is a great bond and shared hatred and regret for the fate they have cast themselves into. Mammon and an unknown Titan woman had Vastus, who would eventually foster a relationship with Banshee to have Annihilus. Vastus had made Annihilus promise to him that he would never become a killer. When Vastus died however, it was Mammon who urged Annihilus to break the vow and avenged his death. While the words had went one ear and out the other, Annihilus gave in to his vengeful desires, and sadly, would eventually consign himself to a fate just as terrible as his grandfather's. Mammon has a deep sense of guilt for what Annihilus has become saying that perhaps it was because "I was alone down there..." and that "To cure the loneliness, I had to drag others down with me."

Vastus (Positive) - Mammon considered his relationship with Vastus's mother to be one-sided as he had to foster a relationship and a child to serve as cover for espionage he was required to perform at the request of Satan. However, as the years went on, he hoped that Vastus and those he had children with would hopefully escaped the fate that Mammon had consigned himself too in an act of blind judgment. He was extremely upset at the death of Vastus, even attempting to secretly communicate with Annihilus to break the vow he had made to Vastus so many years ago to hunt his killer. While Vastus and Mammon disagree with what he did, with Vastus even telling Mammon he was responsible for the person Annihilus was today, making up not long after though, Vastus was convinced by Mammon of his true intentions.

Gabriel (Despised) - Mammon hardly believes in Gabriel's words and, due to him being on an opposing side, sees him as nothing more than a face to wipe from his mind and life. While Gabriel insists on chewing out Mammon for his wrongdoing, he is always the first to explain that it is only through lies and deceit that most get to the top.
