Abadar is the Golarion god of law and cities. Since Aroden is dead and Irori is so focused on Monks, he's effectively the default lawful neutral deity. His temples double as banks.
Abadar is among the deities who sealed Rovagug. At the same time he admits he is "far from the eldest of Axis’s inhabitants", but is respected enough there (and his elders presumably disinterested enough) to be the plane's defacto ruler. There he makes his divine realm Aktun, which serves as Axis's capital. It's a pretty nice place for mortals to visit. Within this is the First Vault, which holds perfect versions of everything, even the perfect law.
Abadar encourages his followers to obey the law, unless it is "contradictory, toothless, or purposeless". When a law is unjust, Abadar demands his followers reform it internally.
Abadar does not do charity. All spells must be purchased. Similarly, his church does not give charity, only loans. His church does however invest in the local economy.
His clergy is forbidden from fighting each other. Thankfully, despite being a neutral deity, enemy clergy of his are rarely seen in Pathfinder's published material.
