*AllpowerfulBystander: Tasio is the mightiest of Tariatla's deities but doesn't help any of its mortal heroes in any of their quests. This is because he is a ''trickster'' deity and finds their struggles to be amusing. He also believes that HelpingWouldBeKillStealing. In his own words, "I'm not a DeusExMachina". If you summon him in a desperate moment, he'll chat up your enemy and snark at you. Eric once replied to this with "Shut up, you useless bystander." However, if the situation is sufficiently out of a given hero's league, he will lend a hand. Such an occasion occurred in ''Literature/ManaMutationMenace'' [[spoiler: when Order, his ArchEnemy and one of ThePowersThatBe, possessed a mage and invaded a village of his favored race during an event important to his overall goal. At that point he suited up and joined the battle.]]
