Travis Miller, a.k.a. traveller72, is one of the more prominent members on Hunter-Net. He is given credit for bringing a lot of new hunters to the hunter-net, connecting them to it during his travels throughout the USA and Canada as a parts salesman. The hunter has been through a number of major attacks and events, most notably a hunt with Cop90 and the events in New Dijon. He also wrote the guide to North America for the Hunter Survival Guide.
He was killed by John Coaler (Rigger111) in Fall From Grace.[1]
Overview[]
Travis never stood out. He was born in 1970 to working-class parents in Oklahoma City. Growing up, he listened to Michael Jackson, outgrew that, listened to Public Enemy, got a business degree in college, got a job with Cafferty Industrial Machinery in Tulsa, got married and got a ranch-style house in the suburbs. Now he listens to Luthor Vandross and Vanessa Williams.
That's not all there is to Travis' life - not even all there was to his life before he was imbued. There were the fights with his wife Colette about having children. (She won: He got a vasectomy, but that still didn't prevent their divorce.) There were some bitter feelings in college that never really got resolved. And there were words unsaid to his mother before she died.
But none of that really matters anymore, now that everything has changed.
Recently, Travis' boss has given him a "last warning" about sagging sales. All that Travis cares about is keeping his frequent-flyer miles whenever he finally gets fired. At least that way he can continue to deal with monsters the same way he always has.
Travis pursues the hunt with a purity rivaling that of more notorious hunters such as Crusader17 and Potter116. In fact, his approach may be even more pure. Unlike so many others, Travis deals with monsters without preconceived notions. Where Crusader sees an angry Jehovah and Potter sees a benevolent Higher Power, Travis has no strongly held beliefs with which to interpret (or misinterpret) the call. He sees it as something higher and more important than himself, which is why he's found it so easy to let go of his previous life.
Travis doesn't make a big deal of his suffering and sacrifices. He doesn't see himself as the important one. Whereas other hunters are willing to starve, throw themselves in the path of bullets and go on sleepless prayer vigils, Travis believes his mission is to pursue the hunt for as long as he can. To him, that doesn't mean sacrificing himself. It means taking care of himself.
Travis is good with people, and he applies those skills to the hunt. Traveling the country as a crane salesman, he's had the opportunity to bring a lot of hunters together. Few of them realize what a good job he does of navigating the troubles that arise between people of different races, cultures and classes. They just figure it's the course of nature that things stay together as long as they do. Even Travis is unaware of how crucial he's been at establishing the nascent hunter underground. As fat as he's concerned, he's just one guy. sticking his oar in the water, doing good where he can.
