* BenevolentAbomination: Ghatanothoa is a god or titan (though he acknowledges such human terms are insufficient to truly describe him) who was created by his "father" to wipe out all life in the universe when he enters the material realm, but was banished to the aether by his siblings. Ghat has grown rather fond of life and does not want to see it destroyed, making a sincere effort to befriend the human Wes to help him save the universe from his father. Only to do so requires Wes to satisfy Ghat physically...

Wes makes numerous attempts to reject the part the universe wants him to play, all of which fail spectacularely.
