Apart from his supernatural abilities, Ati has proven to be adept at deception, when he wishes to be. His alterations are subtle enough to trick the unaware into thinking they are still reading the original text.{{book ref|mb2|epilogue}} When appearing in person, he can easily play a role of another; most notably, he was speaking in [[Reen]]'s voice in [[Vin]]'s head for years without tipping her off to the fact that she wasn't hearing her own thoughts, and he mimicked [[Kelsier]]'s voice to [[Spook]] to drive him to serve Ruin's purposes.{{book ref|mb3|45}}{{wob ref|7719}} Despite his destructive, megalomaniacal tendencies, he is easily able to play someone kind and affable.{{msh ref|2|3}}

Ati himself seems to find Kelsier amusing, and Leras notes that even the man's old self would laugh at the situation.{{msh ref|3|1}} When he appears to Kelsier, it's to mock him, and assure him that his own victory is inevitable. Much like Vin, Kelsier does realize that Ati is doing so partially because he is worried that Kelsier might find a way to oppose him; however, he still find Ati's words disturbing.{{msh ref|4|4}}
