[b]Do you think The Traveler is good or evil?[/b]
There are many theories of what the Traveler is here for. He can be here to save us, kill us, or just use us for his survival.
There is a video that I watched that explains some of the theories, but still i wanna know yours if you want.
I know I'm using his idea on the forums but i want to know too.
If you wanna know my theory, I think the Traveler was a A.I., that actually got a mind of its own, and it might have, been used to go against the darkness. I think The Cabal, and the Fallen were accidents, because as far as their back stories go, they are there to either skirmish ruins, to find something to use and take (Like scraps, not the traveler), or either to take over territory.
I think the Hive and the Vex, were both somewhat connected. I think the Vex were with the Traveler at some point, with they're humanoid masters (Possibly extinct now), and were going against the Hive, a mysterious race that no one has ever seen. The Traveler, the Vex, and their masters both went against the Darkness, but the Hive did a very dark ritual, and caused the Vex to go against the light. The Vex started to make amazing A.I.'s that can build a time portal, and make another Universe, aka the Vault of Glass. The Traveler had no choice but to leave the civilization, and find a new one, and tell them what will come soon. The Traveler might be its own mind now, trying to fight for survival against the Hive and Vex, or he still is trying to run his main Mission, to stop the Darkness, and bring back the light. The Traveler then found the Human Race, and he decided to show them where they can find him, to test them if they can travel through space. After they reached Mars, the Traveler gave them everything, hope, freedom, light, and a Golden Age, but corruption happened between the Humans. They built Exo's to fight wars, they made factions, and had darkness return in their hearts. He decided to become quiet, and only speak to one man, the speaker, and eventually the age collapsed on itself, destroying everything. The Traveler continued on while the Humans, Exo's, and the recent Awoken that traveled here to live on, nearly become extinct. Then the Darkness came. The races rushed to the Traveler, asking for forgiveness. The Traveler saw light, a.nd he gave the Races a city, and Ghosts, so they can become guardians, to fight the darkness
