Oh, I do. One of the RQ3 aspects was Murderer, after all.

There's a good account of the Navajo view of Trickster in one of Tony Hillerman's books. It's not to hand, but from memory a shaman is saying that people like to tell stories of trickster as a joker and cute and cuddly, but he's also responsible at times for every bad thing in the world.

I wouldn't want to have a PC trickster with a rape affinity, though.
