Benchmaster is the god of everything but other gods. However, other gods want nothing to do with Benchmaster. This only makes Benchmaster more interested in other gods. This unfortunately makes the other gods even less interested in Benchmaster, which further fuels Benchmaster's pursuit.

Benchmaster's desire for the other gods is sometimes so all-consuming that everything but other gods gets forgotten or neglected. When that happens, everything is in charge of itself and does fine. Or not. Everything either goes haywire or it doesn't.
