Nice theories, the parts with the Traveler's past with the Fallen and Rasputin's actions are in all likeliness true. However, we don't really know the nature of the Traveler and the Darkness. Guardians are told that all the enemies they face are the Darkness. The story (if we can indeed call Destiny's missions a story) seems to imply that the Black Garden was the epitome of the Darkness, and that the Vex are the most devout minions of the Darkness. Of course, the Hive seem more related to actual darkness, so it shows how no concrete conclusions can really be made in this regard at this point.

And yes Vex are certainly the most devoted ennemies we encounter but what is bothering me about them is when we learn that they have dormant machines on every planet (during the last mission on mars) and also the capacity to teleport everywhere in the galaxy in an instant (campus K9 mission I think). Why not just overun the Earth? Even if the Traveler is Evil, erasing humanity and securing itself wih the Vex could be a good strategy in order to wait for it to be functional again. Well, we'll see in time when Bungie will add more Lore. Anyway, Thank you for reading me and taking the time to discuss it.

Maybe just maybe the Traveler is vex. Maybe just maybe that's why the black garden mission comes from our only non-Tower affiliated source. Maybe just maybe our ghosts are just tiny restorative minds and the Traveler is causing golden age booms on different systems to see what technology new races can come up with, then absorb that tech and destroy the civilization through "collapse" as a way to ease the vex assault / minimize collateral intellectual damage from destroying pre-golds age worlds...?
