Poseidon is the God of Sea, Storms and Earthquakes, in addition to being Zeus' younger brother, who is more concerned with the size of his super-yacht and where the next party is at rather than maintaining control. The well-being of mere mortals is of little interest to him, but Zeus' paranoia threatens the fabric of the family and puts both Poseidon and someone he loves in danger.

That said, he instructs Dionysus not to feed his father's paranoia and to return his watch.[2]
