The Traveler's name is the TRAVELER. (Time) Traveler.
The game is called Destiny. The game is about the Traveler (and us) doing something that has to do with our destiny. A grimoire card speaks to this---how things fight against mortality and call it all unfair but it's not unfair it's that the universe doesn't give a shit and living things must be temporary.
The game is called DESTINY. We're trying to alter our destiny. The darkness is the inevitability of us being temporary.
