My best guess is that it's Mercury - or some variation thereof - as he was a god of luck, money, and quickness. The section of the book where Shadow meets him is in Vegas, and Mercury (or the nameless god) is able to spot luck and follow money, and decides to help out a random waitress. I always thought he was Hades. His most common nickname was Pluto or "the wealthy one" and I assumed he forgetfulness but was a reference to how the ancient Greeks didn't like speaking about him. Mercury seems to work better though.

Easter definitely mentions him. It's the only reason she's doing so well.

Managed to survive a lancing by making technical boys goons explode into a bloody pile. That's how I read it anyway. They think he did something beyond what a mortal should be capable of, and they know he's of special interest to Wednesday, so they assume he's important even if hey don't know he's Balder.
