D&D 5E Looking for a god/goddess of wealth and greed

[gyor]

I was going to say Waukeen, from FR, but for Eberron perhaps the Blood of Vol, not a Goddess, but rather a philosophy, but a selfish one.

 

[DEFCON 1]

The Keeper.

In Eberron, I would consider havng it be a demonic influence rather than a cleric. Perhaps a nice man that made a deal with a demon to save a child he loved, only to be turned into a vessel for evil as a result that sends many kids to their doom....

 

[Li Shenron]

I don't know Eberron. I always use Tiamat as the goddess of greed.

 

[Eltab]

Mammon - usually a Lord of Hell - is all about money, greed, hoarding, 'by fair means or foul', showing off your wealth, rubbing other folks' noses in it, of course hates thieves.

Given what this NPC is doing, he might even role-model himself upon the legendary character named Ebenezer Scrooge. (But he doesn't have the last chapter of the book.)

 

[Henry]

I would suggest Kol Korran, as others noted here; since there is precedent for a Cleric of even a good deity being actually evil and thinking they are doing their god's work (there is an evil cleric of the Silver Flame in Sharn), it would be an excellent ruse that this most vile of people is hiding in plain sight, and has deluded themselves that they are performing a higher calling, yet are actually one of the most depraved people to hold that office. It's not like the real world doesn't have precedent of religious leaders leading double lives or founding cults... It's just that in Eberron, if you have the personal belief, you can still work miracles...

EDIT: I just realized that Kol Korran is neutral, so even better!

 

[Satyrn]

Just from what I read here, I'd have him openly worshipping Kol Korran, while secretly leading a cult of the Keeper.

The idea here would be that if I ever wanted to make the NPC a clear, absolute villain, I can reveal his true allegiance. Plus, it gives the players the chance to take him down without force by instead having him excommunicated or the like.
