Not necessarily by someone. Just circumstances of TOWW attaining godhood and his personality leading him to do whatever achieved his goals as efficiently as possible. Unfortunately that kind of thinking isn't flexible and can lead to a sort of tunnel vision where doing anything that isn't for the purpose of a set goal just isn't done. TOWW was efficient, not imaginative. For example, The Lich from Adventure Time. When he lost his chance to erase all life in the universe, he went into an inactive state. Catatonic and unresponsive until an opportunity to continue his plan arose. TOWW might have spent most of his time outside of being a death god in that state, bored out of his mind. TOWW was always capable of not being a cold, unapproachable person, maybe it just wasn't his personality.
TOWW developed a very consistent rationale that was easy for his siblings to interpret and understand. Enough that being passive and patient became a defining trait of his. Being considerably larger and possibly more powerful than his siblings, this would have made his presence more tolerable and less terrifying. Their brother was death incarnate, controlled and precise. They knew him, and that made him less scary to them, except for Kallamar lol. TOWW didn't like it but it's just how his mind works. It's why he enjoyed interesting and novel situations, he was sensory/experience seeking.
When he began to change and evolve, thanks to Shamura, TOWW would have become unpredictable. What was once consistent and predictable, became strange and unknowable. And scary. His growth pushed him away from his sibling and the Old faith. The Bishops might not have forced TOWW to be the way he was, but they sure as hell wanted him to stay that way…
