Oh, yes, I did try to guide him. That's part of the reason he's so enraged. He cannot imagine why I would "pick humans over him". In the end, our war broke out after he struck the Sky Guardian down in a fit of rage. He claimed he would destroy everything I loved, so that I would see the "truth". He's a narcissist, through and through, and it's why the only things loyal to him are those he turns to his side, that pet snake he keeps, and the constructs he creates.
