Ulmo reminds me of another god(ess) of the Sea, Calypso in Pirates of the Caribean. Particularly when she said to Davy Jones: Jones: For ten years I waited, then when we could be together...YOU WEREN'T THERE. WHY WEREN'T YOU? Calypso: (innocent shrug) It's in my nature..... Meaning she couldn't help it. As the embodiment of the sea, she was unpredictable...treacherous even. It wasn't personal, it's who she was.
