Actually the grimoire says, at the very least, the traveler isn't good. ... [spoiler]It was getting ready to abandon us, so Rasputin basically shot it out of the sky so it couldn't leave and would be force to stay and protect humanity. That's why all the damage is on the underside. I forget which card it is, but there is one where Rasputin specifically says its targeting "O" (the traveler) so that it will be crippled and forced to enable a pseudo protective protocol. I.e. It pretended to ace us, when really it was just saving itself. [/spoiler]
