Define "evil"? As most people define "evil", the Traveller is clearly not evil. But then---as I suspect---It is not truly what most people would define as "Good". In my opinion, the Darkness and The Traveller are opposing FORCES that INTERSECT with human definitions of Good and Evil but are not superimposable on those definitions. Evil---as Oryx correctly surmises----is a SOCIAL construct. It defines a partern of destructive, aggressive, and exploitative behavior WITHIN a framework of social relationships and social values....and that pattern being chosen WILLINGLY. IOW, a Tiger isn't being "evil" when it kills and eats your friend. Its simply acting according to its instincts and its nature...and doing what it needs to survive as an individual creature. OTOH, It was an evil act when humans nearly hunted American Bison (buffalo) to extinction. Simply to get rich selling its furs. At points people were simply shooting them, stripping their fur and leaving them their carcasses to rot in the Sun. Destroyed in a orgy of greed that was not justifiable on any basis of individual need. Just "My wish to be wealthy, takes precedence of their right to exist." The Darkness is clearly a force of destruction, Chaos, aggression...and probably "creative destruction" (evolution and "perfection of form" through strife and conflict). Most (healthy) people see such actions as "evil". Because it causes unnecessary pain, suffering and destruction. So of the two forces, The Darkness (which just annihilates whole worlds and whole species to serve its self and its agenda) is most closely aligned with Human/Supernatural Evil. The Traveller (and the Light) is most likely a force of Order, creation, and "creative construction" (evolution and perfection of form through variety and increasing complexity and sophiscation). Most people tend to see this as "good". Because these are the forces we tend to associate with the Creator Gods of our various religions. But while it intersects with what we consider good...it doesn't overlap with it. As evidence by The Traveller's willingness to abandon the Eliksni to be be destroyed by the Hive and the Darkness....and its probable intent to do the same to us until Rasputin intervened to cripple it and force it to stay and construct a defense against the Darkness. When you deal with The Traveler what is "good" and what is "evil" starts to be become very situational...and very dependant upon your point of view. At the end of the day, IMO, what we I suspect will happen is that we''ll eventually realize that the two are locked in a struggle where its not really in our (human) interests for either side to win outright. ...and that what is in OUR interests is a BALANCE between the two.
