Mammon
Archdevil of Cenia (a.k.a. The Devil, The Deal-Broker, Infernal Accountant, Devil's Advocate)
The phrase "the devil's due" is the catchall description for any deals with Mammon. Even amidst liars, traitors, and schemers of the highest faculties, mammon has never gotten the short end of a deal; especially when one considers that he is the writer of such documents. He has an iron grip over all trade in Hell, especially souls, and his trade laws are strictly adhered to by those who know what fate will befall them if they are caught.
Mammon has what would appear to be limitless stores of wealth in his caches, but he can also tap into many streams of revenue and guide them wherever he pleases. Being the financier of the nine hells has its perks.

He always has a nib-tip pen on his person that writes in jet-black ink that cannot be smeared. The pen itself never needs to be refilled, and it does not clog or leak. Those who hold it say it glides in the hand and across the paper as if it were writing with you.
Mammon can also allow creatures who cannot physically manipulate the pen to operate it through telekinesis.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"The devil is in the details."
"Evil has no root, only a bottom line."
During a negotiation, Mammon's opposition grew irate, then stood and began yelling. Mammon allowed him a moment to vent before delivering a pointed threat: "Sir, if you do not sit down, I will have you beaten to death and I will use your soul to make change when I buy your mother; she will be raped within an inch of her life by my associates, then I will have her drawn and quartered by nytemares, whereupon I will feed her gruesome remains to hellhounds."
After the recepient heard this, he ceased his yelling and hesitantly sat down.
Mammon then said, "There. No need for such butchery. Now, where were we?"
