Mammon in Paradise Lost

Mammon is the demonic equivalent of wealth and gold and riches and is the least of the demonic population mentioned in book one. He seems to be the lower of the demons by personality as well. Even in heaven he wasn't described with much respect. It seems that even in heaven he was corrupt. Greed seems to describe him rather well. Mammon never really seemed to be all that holy. Paradise lost seems to imply that Satan wasn't the only one with corrupt thoughts in heaven... that's a thought i've never had before...
