I'm guessing Travis couldn't handle the guilt of killing Gellar. That was the reason he created the Dark Passenger Gellar in his mind in the first place. To try and convince himself that he'd been right about the John the Revelator sword not being able to pierce Gellar's flesh when in reality it did pierce Gellar's flesh and killed him as a result. So Travis repressed the memory of killing Gellar and deluded himself that Gellar had survived being stabbed with the sword and that Travis had managed to convince him that they were supposedly the Two Witnesses. So when Travis sees Gellar's preserved body in the freezer he doesn't want to accept responsibility for killing Gellar so he convinces himself that Dexter killed Gellar and that he's a false prophet trying to stop Travis's "work." IMO Travis's inability to accept that he killed Gellar causes his evil personality to take control of him completely. I think in Travis's case his evil personality was who he really was and the good personality was actually the alternate personality which is a rare case in fiction since usually the evil personality is the alternate one. Either way Travis being a religious fanatic with a split personality disorder isn't a good mix.
