He also gets mad at the other evil characters because of their behavior.

Qualen also mentions to him that he's now a fallen hero and there's no way out for him. Later he tries to use a helicopter but Qualen tells him he's not running things here and kills villainess and criminal, Kristel, and also a pilot, and then tells him he's the only person who can fly them out of here now and to hunt the rest of the money down. Travers orders Delmar, criminal and villain, to kill Tucker because of Travers using the object to track the lost money and Tucker now being useless. When Delmar is destroyed, Travers thinks it was Tucker falling and says I said quietly.

Travers then radios Qualen and losing his mind gets angry and says his name. Then in Traver's madness, he goes after the heroes and attempts to kill them but is killed by Gabe with a flare gun and Travers falls to his death in water under ice.
