No, I do not see it that way. There is no way Humakt
would allow a vampire Humakti for example to exist if
he knew about it. If the character is illuminated the
god does not know exactly what the character is doing.

what the god wants. Just because an Illuminate can
ignore the geases of received gifts and won't be
tagged by retribution spirits doesn't mean the god who
gave the gift(s) is ignoring what the Illuminate does.
I rule the god knows exactly what the PC is doing and
chooses to allow the reigning in of geases and
retribution spirits for his/her own reasons.
