Wrong. He _succumbed_ to temptation by deliberately destroying the soul of a fetus and became an antigod. He was not a transcended being for he could not become liberated due to the Chattering Classes. He was attempting to become liberated through his complicated plot but _failed_.
A transcended being is the antithesis of an antigod. TB's are those who have successfully refused the temptation of the material world and become one with the unchangeable. Antigods have been tempted and are thoroughly entrenched in the material.
