|---|
Thank you for arriving at our scheduled meeting. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. -Mammon
Head Landkeeper, Mammon is A10 of the Archangels, taking the form of a colourful collage face that constantly shifts around. It is the leader of the "Landkeepers", an agency of capitalist estate agents that wants to buy up all the land in New Wirral, and can only be encountered by following Eugene's "Acting On Your Best Behaviour" quest.
Ingame Bio
Unlike the other Archangels, Mammon forgoes dwelling in the labyrinthian stations beneath New Wirral. Instead, it leads its legion of "Landkeepers" from a concrete hold of its own making. Its Landkeepers are hollow vessels, shells given autonomy from its vast well of power.
The incarnation of capitalism, Mammon was formed by the countless worlds where society values monetary gain over all else, even human suffering.
Habitats
Can be found and fought in Landkeeper HQ, at the end of Eugene's "Acting On Your Best Behaviour" quest.
