Honestly though, my guess only somewhat fits one of the Criteria. The Raptor.
He would want at least one of the gods, as there was talk of him challenging a god to battle in a quest. He's so mysterious and powerful, that we really don't know the extent of his knowledge or power.

If that happened, another Signature Hero would probably fall, much like Xenia and Linza. I'm not saying the Raptor isn't a proper candidate (he actually is), but I'd expect him to die or disappear during Sliske's Endgame.

But I think both Kara-Meir and Kerapac match your criteria too. Both of them know about the Staff of Armadyl and the Stone of Jas, call them in their mortal names (Kerapac uses e.g. Stone of Jas instead of the Catalyst), both want to get rid of the gods (Kerapac is however more likely wanting to get rid of the Stone) and both of them (fits better on Kara-Meir) can be hurried and frustrated.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but according to the RuneScape wikia, the cutscene is "viewed from this character's perspective." That means we are observing the cutscene through the eyes of Sliske's master. S/he seems to be quite tall in my opinion, or I'm bad at estimating the height based on perspective. Kara-Meir (and the Raptor I think) are at our height while Kerapac or any other dragonkin are much taller. This is however based on information from the wikia so it may be pointless.

^ The main issue with it being Kerapac, or any other Dragonkin for that matter, is that Sliske wouldn't have needed to trap another Dragonkin in order to use it's curse to find the Stone of Jas.

And it's likely not Strisath, the dragonkin Sliske captured, because he makes fun of the look on, 'that dragonkin's face,' in the cutscene rather than using a 2nd person pronoun (ex: the look on your face).

Edit: And the issue with the Raptor is a distinct lake of known experience with the Staff of Armadyl. It makes the possibility for him to suggest using the staff in some atypical way rather unlikely as well.

3.) Having a necessity/desire to gather all the gods together in one place. (Note that Sliske says all the gods will come, the Voice only says "This will bring them?" He could be referring to only one or a few of the gods, not all of them.)

Just a thought, but what if the voice isn't referring to the gods. But wait, I hear you saying, then Sliske's response doesn't make sense. Normally, I'd agree with that sentiment, but what if Sliske's response was simply stating the circumstances that will obviously draw 'them' out?

If that were the case, there are three potentials 'them' could be.

1. The elder gods (draw all the gods together, kick off a competition or brawl in the right place, and you could wake the elders).

2. The dragonkin, or at least the Necrosy*tes (so many false users in one location, potentially weakened or distracted by what Sliske has planned).

3. And this is my favorite. The player (would we really miss a meeting of all the gods?). Unfortunately unlikely since, you know, Sliske tried to steal our soul (unless, of course, he only needed our body).

I would only believe it's Kerapac if it's something like Sliske captured Strisath and just handed him off to Kerapac for One of a Kind.

But I'm not sure if the plan is to just bring False Users. The only ones would be Saradomin and Zamorak, in which case, the Battle of Lumbridge would have been the perfect opportunity. And I'm pretty sure Sliske let Zamorak touch the Stone, which I doubt a Dragonkin would approve of unless Kerapac needed that for some kind of experiment.

Sliske likes to be in the center of attention. Capturing Strisath and using him to locate the Stone of Jas is probably enough for a Dragonkin to get really angry. And when you introduce a really angry Dragonkin to a group of gods in a meeting. There wouldn't have been any drama if Sliske had Kerapac there. There's also a feud between Dactyls (Kerapac, Phalaks, etc.) and Necrosy*tes (Strisath, Sakirth, etc.) so I think Kerapac wouldn't care if Sliske captured and bullied one of his brethren.

I think almost every being in Gielinor knows that the Staff of Armadyl is "quite useful", as it is used to kill Guthix and many others like the warriors during While Guthix Sleeps. Otherwise it is used to fuse things together precisely, which more likely elder gods' knowledge and that a very few people actually know the Staff's real purpose. But I interpreted the cutscene so that the master just mentions the staff because Sliske used it to find Strisath. We are unsure if Sliske began to serve his master before his Ascension (so his master already knew how the staff can work) or after the Ascension (meaning that his master may not have much knowledge about the staff and he just heard from Sliske about its usefulness).

Snip.

Except Sliske appeared to be referring to the look on the dragonkin's face when he found to Stone of Jas (since the line immediately follows him crediting the voice for the tip off about the Stone and Staff). So again, no need to capture Strisath in order to find the stone if he had Kerapac, and no need to use a different term than 'your' if he was talking to Kerapac about his face.

And it's not a matter of the mysterious voice knowing just knowing the staff is useful. As I pointed out earlier, Sliske thanks the voice for the tip off about the Stone, claiming that he'd have never found it without the voice's help (in other words, definitely before the Ascension) and then mentions that he never thought that the Staff could be used that way. In other words, the voice knows enough about the Staff so that it could be used to find the Stone (and potentially how to repair it, given the orb on top was replaced).

………I'm really not sure why you replaced what I said with that ? I don't particularly care for Xau-Tak all that much.
