Why I seriously think the Traveler is evil.

I assume most people have seen this Grimoire card. However, the majority of the posts referring to this card mention the part about the three queens. The part I've shared with you caught my attention, and here's why. [i]"Everything is becoming more ruthless and in the end only the most ruthless will remain ("[b]LOOK UP AT THE SKY[/b]).[/i] Ask yourself, if you're at home, on Earth, what do you see when you look up at the sky? [i]The Traveler.[/i] In its name we've slaughtered hundreds, no, thousands of sentient beings. We are waging war simply to "protect the traveler." Sounds pretty dark to me. But wait, there's more! Remember how the third queen raised an army and conquered everything? Well, I think it's safe to say that the Traveler is referred to as Isis. Who was Isis? Apart from being the goddess of wellbeig, and a gardener, her name [i]literally[/i] means "throne". Who sits on a throne? A queen. All in all, I'm pretty sure the Traveler is the third queen. We are the final evil, the eternal sovereign's armada. [b]EDIT:[/b] Wow guys, thanks so much for all the input! I love reading your theories and ideas, keep them coming!

    "Your Traveler has a dark mirror." To me, this line that is sometimes mentioned by Xur proves that the Traveler is not evil. The Darkness is real and it is related to the Traveler, but more in the sense of being its opposite. Edit: Also, your reference about the Traveler being Isis is spot on. The only problem is that there is more than one queen in the second reference you made there.
