Part of the nature of the Traveller in Black is that any wish spoken in his presence will be granted, not always to benefit of the wisher; those who wish carelessly and selfishly get their comeuppance, while those who wish unselfishly (whose number, in the entire series, can be counted on one hand) are rewarded.

* JerkToNiceGuyPlot: One of the wishes the Traveller grants is for a haughty young woman, who wishes to be loved for who she is rather than her looks or fortune. Instantly her supply of suitors dries up, and it's not until she's worked at becoming a likeable person that she meets her eventual husband.

** Despite her being mentioned on four separate occasions in "Wager", it's never stated if senile Granny Anderland, left behind in Wantwich when the other villagers were abducted, was found again - alive or otherwise - when they got home after Lord Fellian's undoing. Likewise, the fate of the mentally-challenged girl whom Fellian set free to prove a point is never stated, even though the Traveller had expressed concern for her welfare if expelled from Fellian's household.

* IHaveManyNames: The Traveller in Black is described more than once as "having many names, but only one nature". A subversion, as he's never actually ''called'' anything but "the traveller".
** In 'Imprint of Chaos', the traveller "introduces" himself by mentioning his singular nature, and then continues "You may call me Mazda, or whatever you choose." This would appear to be one of his names, but he doesn't insist on it. He also uses the name in the magazine printings of the other stories, but not in the revised text of ''The Compleat Traveller in Black''.
