Zaros.



* GodsHandsAreTied: {{Invoked}}. When Guthix sees the devastation caused by the gods' direct interference in mortal wars during the God Wars, he decrees that the gods may only influence the mortal realms indirectly through their followers. He enforces this by threatening to destroy the entire world if they step out of line. So far, it's working.



* HaveYouSeenMyGod: Zaros was betrayed by Zamorak and banished from Gielinor. "The Temple at Senntisten" revolves around Azzanadra's attempts to find him and restore him to power again.




to:

* WrittenByTheWinners: Nearly all the records of Zarosian civilization were destroyed by the combined forces of Zamorak and Saradomin; most of what little remains is their propaganda about how he was totally evil.



* WarIsGlorious: He's a god of war, after all.




to:

* LoopholeAbuse: Bandos wants to make war, but the Edicts of Guthix [[GodsHandsAreTied prevent him from doing so]]. His solution in "The Chosen Commander" is to [[spoiler:empower one of his followers with his own strength to create an avatar of himself, which he can then use to conquer the world without ''technically'' being the one ''personally'' out there doing it]].
* WarIsGlorious: He's a god of war, after all.

* AGodAmI: Justified, he is, for all intents and purposes, an actual god.
* TheDragon: To Zaros. [[TheStarscream Not very loyal though.]]
* TheStarscream: He is the sole reason why Zaros is almost completely forgotten and he is worshipped in his stead.

* JackOfAllStats: Equipment aligned with Guthix usually fills the exact midpoint between the Saradomin and Zamorak equivalents. Saradomin's Holy Book gives +8 to defense; Zamorak's Unholy Book gives +8 to attack; Guthix's Book of Balance, therefore, gives +4 to attack and +4 to defense. Similarly, the Saradomin bow gives a healing boost where the Zamorak Bow gives a damage boost, and the Guthix Bow splits the difference by giving a smaller boost to both.
