...What is Xau-Tak anyways? At first it seemed like an unknown, tendril rooting, corrupting deity, but now recent information seems to say otherwise:
Its' direct influence is capable of stretching through distant spaces, dimensions and even time, something that Guthix, Zaros or Seren were not even capable of.
Its' affiliations appear, at first to be death and the oceans, but I believe that's the dark individual influence of the beings he controls. It's quite possible that it can even influence gods to do his bidding, such as the one V found; Xau-Tak was simply the words he heard and not the actual name of the god V found. As for the pirate quests, well, they simply revolve around Xau-Tak's dark power and not the being itself. We might face the beings under its' influence but we won't see it for itself.
Regarding to Sliske's talk to his true "master"... It couldn't be Zaros. Zaros could only talk through the communication portal at the Digsite Temple and he would not certainly trust Sliske with them. As for Jas, she's is asleep and dependent on the voicepieces for communication. Her dreams doubtfully connect to "inferior" beings, Sliske included. Furthermore, his "master" had incredible knowledge of the elder artifacts, possibly beyond what Guthix, Zaros or Seren know. If this is coupled with the ability to contact beings through time and space, it is very likely Xau-Tak itself is Sliske's "master".
In truth, Xau-Tak's true affiliation possibly revolves around death, darkness, silence, void... a dark power completely different from Zaros. Zaros power derives from anima. If the affiliation I mentioned is true, Xau-Tak's power derives from the opposite of anima.
