* CainAndAbel: The Cain to the Abel of his brother Tsukiyo, whom he murdered out of envy and feeling abandoned by Shizuru.
* EnemyMine: The reason he's the patron of the oni is that, like him, they feel unjustly slighted by the gods and abandoned, needing to pull themselves up instead. He is not bound to them as an EthnicGod, and will happily support worshipers who feel vengeful towards them if he feels taken for granted or slighted.
