I think when considering Sliske many people are forgetting the true nature of the mahjarrat. Everything we have suggests that mahjarrat will at least pretend to follow whoever is the most powerful. Sliske is not above this; in fact, he was literally the first Mahjarrat to defect from Tumeken to Zaros when the time came. However, we also have some suggestion from the Mahjarrat memories miniquest that Mahjarrat care less about who is the most powerful, and more about who can offer them the most gain individually. Sliske would certainly (at least pretend to) be subservient to someone else if they were to, oh, I don't know, reveal secrets of the Staff of Armadyl unknown to anyone else and help him locate the most powerful elder artefact there is...
