I'm still thinking about past lives and ramifications of such, my thought of Coyote is that in the most recent 5th Age he probably aided the Remnant in getting the means to take the Gods down. Why, I haven't decided yet, but it sounds like something Coyote would do.
There are a lot of myths of Coyote, in some Native American cultures he's a bumbling fool character, and in other stories he helps the people obtain sacred items from the Gods like Fire, in still others he's involved with creation myths of the first people. In some tales he's a person called Coyote and in others he's the animal itself, but in pretty much all of him he possesses various forms of "medicine."
I'm thinking as Coyote grows in power and wisdom he transitions more from making mistakes into being a more cunning and directed individual who reflects more the "creator" or "protector" myths. He's actually a contemporary parallel of Loki as a trickster figure.
