The fact it runs around with this darkness following it, which it knows its following it, we know Oryx has hunted the Traveler for quite some time with the other dark things that chase it. So this thing is indeed evil for if it wasn't it would go to some part of the universe where there is nothing and stopped mindlessly having races be wiped out because of its incompetence. Rasputin had to freaking stop it to keep it from leaving mankind to die. So really screw the traveler I'm going to go live in Rasputin's bunker.

Read the Book of Sorrows. There is nowhere to hide from the Hive. They will eventually consume the universe. This is their religion, in a way. Their philosophy. So with the Traveler we stand a fighting chance. Without him we are completely doomed. It is a story of the greater good. Yes he may put a race in danger by exposing them to servants of the darkness, but the darkness must be stopped somehow before it destroys all sentient life. And the only way to do that is to use the Travelers light to fight it.

Oryx would keep killing and destroying even without the Traveler to fight. It is in his entire philosophy of existence, which he got from the Deep/Darkness. Truthfully, the Hive was almost beaten at one time, but then Oryx killed one of his "gods" and learned how to "take" living beings, allowing him to turn the tide in that particular war.

In which case, the only option left to the Traveler is to keep running until it could find some way to turn the tide against it's foe. Simply waiting to die, or not interferring with other races would only delay the inevitable.
