Ugh. Most of these ideas are terrible and are born out of player desperation for some kind of "twist." The Darkness. Is. Evil. The Light. Is. Good. It really is that simple. The Traveller may have an inscrutable purpose, and it may act out of self preservation, but the Darkness hunts it, no matter what. The Hive eradicated hundreds, if not thousands of species, whether they had been visited by the Traveller or not. The only reason Humanity survived their encounter with the Hive is due to the Traveller, and the Hive would've found us eventually. Splitting the player base into legitimate factions is a bad idea in a cooperative PvE game. Also, both Shaxx and Saladin wear their helmets at all times. By the author's logic, they can't be trusted, either. And the grimoire card for Osiris is written from the perspective of the Speaker, who clearly regrets exiling Osiris and wishes that he would return.
