| - The Traveler had certain abilities, like the ability to act like "a lens with focused thought", which allowed him to alter space, time, and warp fields with the power of his mind. He could phase out of time and dimension and move between planets and starships. These abilities were based on his ability to focus the energy of thoughts and in his advanced understanding of the nature of reality. According to The Traveler, thought was the basis of all reality. In addition, Deanna Troi noted that his presence could not be detected with the empathic abilities of Betazoids. He could also shapeshift to appear as humanoids from other species with different clothing. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before" , "Journey's End" ) Around 2364, The Traveler had been trading his understanding of propulsion for passage on Starfleet vessels. This was the first time his species visited this culture. He claimed to be motivated by curiosity, his stated goal being experiencing "your reality." During these travels, he became an assistant to Starfleet propulsion expert Kosinski, who claimed to have discovered a revolutionary new method of warp drive. Although some of his theories did have merit, Kosinski's formulas turned out to be bogus, as Wesley Crusher discovered that it was actually Kosinski's assistant, The Traveler, who was the driving force behind the propulsion method. Things went awry, however, and the USS Enterprise-D was catapulted millions of light years to the M-33 Galaxy. Later, while attempting to return back to the Milky Way Galaxy, the Enterprise instead traveled to the end of the universe, a billion light years away. The Traveler collapsed in exhaustion and was taken to sickbay, where he revealed the secret of his abilities. He eventually returned to engineering, where he helped return the ship and crew home to the Milky Way Galaxy. The Traveler noticed something special about the young Wesley Crusher, comparing him to a young Mozart. Inspired in part by this, Captain Picard promoted Wesley to an acting ensign in the traditions of Starfleet. The Traveler played a significant role in the destiny of Wesley Crusher. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before" ) In 2365, when the Enterprise encountered a duplicate version of Captain Picard, apparently transported six hours back in time, the contemporary Captain Picard briefly suspected The Traveler as a cause of this anomaly - noting that The Traveler was capable of movement through time using the power of his mind. Commander Riker, perhaps recalling The Traveler's largely benign nature, did not share this suspicion. (TNG: "Time Squared" ) The Traveler was next encountered by the Enterprise crew in 2367, after a "warp bubble" experiment by Wesley Crusher went awry and trapped his mother Beverly Crusher in an alternate reality. Due to Wesley's increasing realization of his powers, the Traveler was drawn to him and sensed the predicament. He appeared and directed the crew on her rescue. He needed Wesley's help in opening a doorway to the other reality, and had to convince him he had the ability. They succeeded in rescuing the elder Crusher, while the younger Crusher continued his maturation. (TNG: "Remember Me" ) In 2370, The Traveler appeared incognito as Lakanta, a villager on Dorvan V, to Wesley Crusher. Lakanta, who seemed to have intimate knowledge of Wesley, directed him to seek the answers to his troubled destiny. Wesley was, at the time, quite uncertain about his future in Starfleet. The Traveler guided Wes to the "habak" where Wesley had a vision of his deceased father telling him that his destiny lay somewhere other than with Starfleet. The cadet heeded the advice and resigned from Starfleet, after which in the middle of a riot he managed to dissociate himself from time; it is then that The Traveler revealed his true identity and promised to mentor the young man on his new journey.

- The Traveler's origins are unknown. When it arrived, humanity first discovered it on Mars. It sparked a Golden Age of humanity that allowed humans to migrate from Earth to colonize other planets within the Solar System. Some speculate that the Traveler is a large vessel; others believe that it is a sentient being or artificial intelligence and some may even consider it a deity. As of yet its true nature is unknown. The Traveler is credited with humanity's survival during the Collapse of the Golden Age. After the Traveler sacrificed itself to save humanity, it remained floating not far from the Earth's surface, and became silent and dormant. The City was built in its shadow and under its protection, where its inhabitants are temporarily safe from the threat of the Darkness.

- I am the traveler. I'm starting to start to tell storys from beyond time, and space. I have talked to otherworldly creatures, even went to the afterlife once or twice. I will tell many tales, but I must tell the where it all began. I was a younger lad when I went on my adventures. I was a cadet at that time for a now dead empire. The Grox attacked, destroy my home, family, friends, even the planet. I started to travel around the universe to find new things. My story started when I crashed into a older planet, between tribal, and civil. The creatures there were kind. They gave me a room for the night, feed my a grand feast, and greatest of all told tales. Some tales envoled a god named Spode. Spode. I head that name before. I still don't know how it reached this part of the galaxy. After a year or so, I was ready to leave, when a few good men asked to join me on my new adventures. The crew were great men, and women, but they would soon put me in danger. I'll tell more on my next report.
- The Traveler's true name is unknown. He has the ability to possess other vampire's bodies, though that vampire's consciousness is still awake. This seems to be limited only to vampires considerably weaker than himself; Jean-Claude was once the victim of this ability. The Traveler's own body was not present on his visit to St. Louis, only his consciousness possessing other vampires. The Traveler stop making vampires long ago and his bloodline has dwindled in numbers. His true body is hidden away someplace for fear that of his body is destroyed he will die. The Traveler was the only member of the Council who is revealed to have known Oliver's plans to take over St. Louis and then use the vampires to make them illegal in the states there. He did nothing, stating that council members do not fight other council members. He also does not like Padma. He is a strictly homosexual vampire, whose human servant, Balthasar, is also his lover. A large part of their relationship appears to revolve around the enjoyment they each derive from The Traveler possessing new bodies for use in their sexual antics. When the vampires of America petitioned the Council for permission to kill Jean-Claude and Anita, the Traveler along with the Dragon and Belle Morte voted against it. In Bullet, it is revealed that he along with the rest of the Council have taken the power of Marmee Noir into themselves, opening a way for the Mother of Darkness to posses them all. When the Traveler realized what had happed he hid from Marmee Noir, and also sent some of the vampires from his bloodline to St. Louis just in case he becomes possessed. Those vampires would allow Anita to free him from the Mother of Darkness just as Anita did for Belle Morte and Padma.

With the help and support of Wesley Crusher and the Enterprise crew, he returned them home before disappearing. (TNG episode: "Where No One Has Gone Before") Over the next six years, The Traveler returned to the Enterprise twice. In 2367, he assisted Wesley in rescuing his mother, Beverly Crusher, from a warp bubble, and in 2370, he posed as a native named Lakanta on Dorvan V to help Wesley realize his potential. When Wesley decided to join The Traveler, he functioned as his mentor and taught Wes all the skills of being a Traveler. (TNG episodes: "Remember Me", "Journey's End"; CCG set: Fractured Time, card: "The Traveler") By 2378, The Traveler had imparted all the information to Wesley that was possible, and they both returned to Tau Alpha C for Wesley to be "born" as a Traveler. The Traveler also helped perform the final test for Wesley by showing him the Pool of Prophecy. (TNG novel: A Time to Be Born) In an alternate 2373, after Wesley altered the timeline to prevent the formation of both the Maquis and the Dominion-Cardassian alliance, The Traveler approached human DTI agents Dulmer and Gariff Lucsly, and challenged Crusher to justify his actions to them. When Crusher was unable to convince Lucsly of the rightness of his actions, The Traveler assured the agents the timeline would be corrected. (TNG short story: "Gods, Fate, and Fractals")
- The Sovereign of Chaos and Charm, The Traveler is unique in that it is not related to any of the other members of the Sovereign Host or the Dark Six. He is also said to be the only deity who walks the face of Eberron, but his many changing forms allow him to evade recognition. The Traveler is the patron of all those who embrace change including changelings, shifters, doppelgangers, and lycanthropes. The Traveler is known as the Giver of Gifts, but a famous proverb states to "beware the gifts of the Traveler". Many in House Cannith secretly worship the Traveler, due to his governance over artifice.
