The mysterious character has made appearances in several issues of Spawn but has never been named. Well now Namco and Todd McFarlane Productions has announced that the character is called Mammon.

The character is Spawn's personal guide and will feature more heavily in future issues of Spawn and the videogame, Spawn: Armageddon.

"Bringing Mammon, his personality and the intense history between Mammon and Spawn to the forefront of the franchise's storyline is something that I've been thinking about since I originally wrote the character into the script," said Creator, Todd McFarlane. "When the opportunity arose to introduce Mammon through the 'Spawn' video game, it was obvious that this was the way to roll out the red carpet for the character. Good, Neutral or Evil, it's safe to say that 'Spawn' fans will have the opportunity to get to know Mammon in much greater detail over the next several comic book episodes and, of course, the new 'Spawn' game."

"We are proud that Todd McFarlane has chosen Namco's game as a place to reveal more about this intriguing character," said Glen Cureton, Producer at Namco Hometek Inc. "Fans of 'Spawn' can finally put a name to this mysterious character, who has played, and will continue to play, such an important role in the dark hero's story."
