The publican asketh not how much thou hast: he taketh while thou lookest away. — Proverbs of the Ash Court 7:1
Mammon's small gilded collector. He never fights face to face — he runs round and strikes your back, and hides every stolen soul in his sack. The fuller the sack, the heavier his blows.
Backstab
Circles you at 2.8 m and strikes only from the blind spot — 120° behind your back. Windup 0.32 s, blow 6, at most once every 1.5 s.
He that guardeth his purse looketh behind him.
Greed
Every hit takes 6% of your purse, at least 2 souls. Each stolen soul makes his blows 4% heavier, up to ×3. The sack on his back swells and glows — you can see how much he has taken.
Heavy is the thief's sack, and heavy his hand.
How to deal with him
Turn to face him: in front of your eyes (100°) he won't strike — the windup breaks and he slips behind again; watch him longer than 1.4 s and he runs round the other way. He can't catch a sprint: he runs 7.6 m/s. Kill him fast — only 50% of what he took comes back, the rest is gone.
Turn thy face to the thief, and his strength is gone.
