Mammon has got to be the coolest guy in the Judeo-christian story.

Mammon was heaven and hell's architect. (At least according to John Milton's Paradise Lost)

It is amazing he built both places, and just the amazingness of both places is jaw dropping.

My favorite character!

How about yours? Has anyone else even read it? If not, you should - it's good.

Haven't read it in a while.

I thought Mammon was a demon of money and avarice?

Well, depends where you read about him. I watched the movie 'Constantine' last night, and Mammon was Satan's son in the movie. This is different than anything I ever heard. This is how I came about this topic. Hearing Mammon's name reminded me of Paradise Lost - which I read a couple years ago.

Last I remember, Death was the Devil's son. And he was born from Satan's incest with his own daughter Sin. Mammon was an the architect of both kingdoms.

Constantine was an interesting twist on the story. In particular, the nature of Gabriel and Satan himself. Satan actually plays by the rules of the game they set. And Gabriel is not so angelic.

Mammon is definately related to money though....

I thought that was moloch (chancelor of hell)...

Negative, Moloch, if I remember correctly, wanted to straight-up start a war and fight to the end. Because, even if they lost, it would still be better and more glorious than being in Hell anwyays. So to him, it was a win-win situation.
