The Travelers

The Travelers are a group of itinerant villains who never stay in one place for too long.

Modus operandi
As stated they move from place to place trying to keep their friend Noelle happy and healthy. The reason they do not stay in the same place for long is due to the rampages Noelle's power forces her into.

While widely recognized as heavy hitters, they hold back from using their powers to the fullest so that they don't draw attention and so that they do not injure people. This is likely tied into their need to keep Noelle, by far the most dangerous member of the Travelers, contained.

Structure
Trickster is nominally the leader, while other members chafe under his leadership.

Cherish stated at one point that all of the other members of the Travelers have hated Trickster and Noelle at some point.

PRT Response
The larger organization was aware of them

Were on to them, but when Coil heard about them he put a stop to the full investigation.

Background
The Travelers were originally a highschool Computer Gaming Club from Madison, Wisconsin on Earth Aleph. When the Simurgh attacked Madison on Earth Bet, she brought several buildings from Earth Aleph - including the one the Travelers were meeting in. Noelle sustained serious internal injuries which were exacerbated by the lack of medical care. When trying to find help for her, Trickster stumbled across a suitcase containing six vials of superpower-granting formula. Each member of the Travellers took a dose except for Noelle and Oliver who shared half a dose each. They then resolved to become mercenaries in order to finance their search for a way home.

The Travelers visited New York at one point, and were involved with forty individuals disappearing overnight.

They quickly gained a reputation as traveling villains, due to a need to be mobile to hide Echidna's rampages and to keep her fed.

Story Start
Following Coil's acquisition of his precog he reached out to the Travelers offering a solution to their situation if they would work for him. As such the Travelers make their first appearance in Brockton Bay during the villain conference at Somer's Rock when they were deciding what to do about the Azn Bad Boys.

Post-Leviathan
Individual members would take up territory in the city.

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine
Helped fend off Dragon and her machines.

Tried to stop Echidna before Trickster's betrayal. They were instrumental in solving the crisis.

Post-Echidna
Trickster was imprisoned in the Birdcage, while the other surviving members returned through a portal to Earth Aleph.

Perdition eventually showed up during the fight with Behemoth, killing Accord and wounding Chevalier and Tattletale.

Gold Morning
Remaining members were collected in the final day of the event.

Trivia

 * Coil theorized that Leviathan attacked Brockton Bay because of Noelle's presence, as the Endbringer moved towards his base (where she was incarcerated) until it was forced to retreat.
 * Like many of those with the strongest connections to their shards, the Travelers have a dose of irony.
