That scene was a flash back before Fotg
Sliske literally was talking about how he just got the stone of jas and the staff, thanking the "mysterious voice"


Its zaros. everything fits


The only communication Zaros had with his followers pre-Fot* was via the portal at Senntisten. The cutscene was very clearly not happening in the restored Senntisten Temple. Zaros and Sliske literally couldn't have been talking to each other in that scene if it happens before Fot*.

I already tried to point this out, and it didn't work.

Sorry to be arrogant, but why is it so hard to make it clear that the mysterious voice is not Zaros?

I have wondered that too. The tone of the mysterious voice seems to be too rude and hasty for Zaros. And I think the meeting between Sliske and his master, or one who asks Sliske a favour, happens after Fate of the Gods and before Dishonour among Thieves. Sliske is serving someone else, other than Zaros, and the background in the cutscene is the same as in the latter quest.

So, I think we can safely place Zaros out of the possible candidates. To me and many others Zaros doesn't fit as the owner of the mysterious voice.

From what I recall, you don't need to be anywhere near the portal to use it. Zaros is supposed to be able to communicate with you mentally wherever you are.
Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Azzanadra: When that happened, we created a communication portal in this temple allowing us contact with our Lord. It was more successful than I dared hope, [Player]!

Azzanadra: I used to hear him all the time - in my head, guiding me, bringing me strength and wisdom.

Used to - this means before Zamorak attacked.

2 bits from Azzanadra's memory:

Rumours are spreading throughout the empire that the Empty Lord was destroyed in the battle. I cannot believe that. There is no power in this world capable of destroying him. He must be out there, but the portal has failed to establish communication.

and

I hear him! I hear his voice in my head. Yes, Lord. I will do as you command. Saradomin will be crushed for his insolence. Zamorak will be punished for his betrayal. Armadyl will suffer for his arrogance. I will mete your vengeance upon all of them!

And I thought it had already been agreed upon that Azzy had gone a little nutty by this point.

Not sure about that timeline, but I could see it working, and it also raises even more reasons why it couldn't be Zaros. This isn't meant to be correcting you, I'm just expanding. At the end of Fate of the Gods, Zaros tells Char to discover the location of the Stone and the Staff. If the meeting was after Fate of the Gods, then Zaros himself would be aware of where Stone is, so Char's missions would be pointless.

It just* it really makes no sense for it to be Zaros. At all. It's impossible.

To be honest I don't see any candidate who would be Sliske's partner (not master). I guess it has more to do with his bipolarity. An argument to strengthen my thesis is that Sliske names the Siphon by its mortal name: The Staff of Armadyl. However, my thesis is refutable as how would Sliske now that the siphon could be used in a different way?
