~*Harry Mason*~

Game first appeared: Silent Hill 1
Games Mentioned: Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill: Origins, and its assumed he'll be mentioned in Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Harry Mason ,32, is a writer. His wife, who remains unnamed died 4 years before the events of the game. Three years before she died they find a baby girl on the side of the road. They take her home and name her Cheryl.

For the next 7 years Harry takes care of Cheryl and loves her as if she is his own flesh and blood. One day, they decide to take a "vacation" to Silent Hill. Remember a long time ago Silent Hill was a tourist attraction. (Which makes me wonder....i'll post this idea in the James Sunderland thread.) That night Harry Mason sees a young woman cross the road. He swerves to miss her but crashes his Jeep on the side of the road and blacks out.

When he awakes he finds that Cheryl is missing, he steps out into the fog to find his daughter and together leave this eerie little town.

Harry Mason is the archetypal hero of Silent Hill. As such he deviates form the stereotype of other heroes. He is clumsy, and its obvious he has never received any such training for survival or for the use of firearms, a deficit which adds the the realism of Silent Hill.

After finding his way through Silent Hill he comes across Alessa. She turns into a giant moth demon and you must kill her. Harry battles her and eventually kills her. He sees his daughter Cheryl and Cheryl gives him a baby girl. He runs out of Silent Hill and takes the baby home. He names the new girl.....Heather.

~*Additional Info on Harry Mason*~
Harry was brutally murdered in Silent Hill 3 by Claudia, however one of the endings supplies reason that he never died, and heather tells him about her hardships *but due to the fact this ending then leads to Harry obliterating Silent Hill with UFO's...... and SIlent Hill was still standing in the other games, we can assume he died*

~*James Sunderland*~

Games seen: Silent Hill 2
Games Mentioned: Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill 4:The Room, Silent Hill Origins, and once again mentioned (probably) in homecoming.

James Sunderland is the protagonist of Silent Hill 2. His wife, Mary Shephard-Sunderland, has been dead for 3 years. This however does not stop her from sending him a letter saying "Im waiting for you in our 'Special Place'"
James drops everything to go find his dead wife.

James isn't the only one summoned to Silent Hill. Two others, Eddie Dombrowski and Angela Orosco, have been summoned by similar forces. Neither one are playable but they have a significance which i will discuss later on.

After fighting his way through the Apartment, where you meet Eddie, Laura, and Fight Pyramid Head, he arrives at Rosewater Park. There he meets Maria. A stripper in the local bar "Heaven's Night". Together they explore Silent Hill. On their journey through the hospital they come across pyramid head who chases them along a long a** hallway. Here once James get in the Elevator he kill's Maria.

Later on the Game you go through the labyrinth. At the end James finds himself in a room with three graves. Eddie Dombrowski, Angela Orosco, and James Sunderland. James' is the only one still un-filled. Note: You can get the Great Knife in the Labyrinth.

In the prison, James finds Angela Orosco being attacked by the "Abstract Daddy", a creature meant to portray her abusive father. After injuring it she runs it off with some seriously vicious attack and has a intense conversation with James.

After, James finds a room where Maria is stuck inside a cell. She switches personality between Mary and Maria and starts asking about a videotape. She says she wasn't killed just has a really bad Hangover. James finds an alternate route and finds her dead.

James comes across Eddie who says his solution is to kill. James subdues Eddie and gets the revolver.

Finally, James gets to the hotel. After finding the room he and mary stayed he watches their video tape. AFter the Hotel is sent to the dark world where it seems to have suffered some serious water damage. Upon getting to the Lobby you find Maria surrounded by Pyramid Heads.

James realizes what they are. James has killed his wife to relieve her of her pain, but stricken with grief he has made Pyramid Head (also known as the "Red Devil" or God of Judgment in some of the paintings) to punish him for his sins. He then realizes he doesn't need them anymore. He beats the pyramid heads and climb all 15 (yes i counted) flights of stairs and faces teh final boss....which is....dun dun dun.....MARY.

Now about Angela and Eddie. In Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill is where people go where they want to punish themselves. Think of it as purgatory. Angela goes there because she killed her family. You come across her in the hotel and she just walks up the fiery staircase. Eddie is there because he killed a kid for calling him fat and then shot the dog.

~*Heather Morris/Mason/Alessa Gillespie*~

Games Seen: Silent Hill 1 , Silent Hill 3 , Silent Hill: Origins
Games Mentioned: Silent Hill 1, Silent Hill 2 , Silent Hill 3 , Silent Hill: Origins

Heather Morris is a normal (sort of) 17 year old girl. One day she goes to the mall. She falls asleep at the happy burger and has a bizarre dream about an amusement park in Silent Hill.

She goes to a payphone and calls her father. She hangs up with him as an old guy named Douglas walks up and says. I need to talk to you, its about your birth. She ditches him in the ladies room. (Note* Knock on the last stall and hear someone answer the knock. Later after it goes to darkness if you knock again and start to leave the stall will open leaving only a stall with blood splatters.*) She climbs out the window and runs up the alley. Upon reentering she finds that its empty besides these weird monsters.

As she tries to find her way out she runs into a woman named Claudia Wolfe. She tells her "Remember me and you're true self." When asked about the monsters she says "I will lead them to paradise". She then walks away as Heather collapses in severe pain. When she pulls herself together the mall is dark and gruesome. There are more monsters and bottomless holes. Also gurnies line the walls.

She eventually makes it through to the end of the mall where a giant worm is waiting for her in the tunnels. (This can be known as a Mini Subway level. I call it this because The Subway is directly underneath the mall. The giant worm burts out a giant tunnel. This is the ONLY TIME you see the Subway on the Dark Side.)

Heather will then find her way to the main lobby. Douglas is there again and she accuses him of working with Claudia. She runs into the subway. In the subway there are monsters along with weird lighting effects and sounds. As you find your way through the subway you come across articles of a man who was decapitated by the train. If you go to his platform he will push you over the edge and you will have to reach teh platform and climb back up before your fate is the same.

Finally, Heather finds her train. She can only enter at the last car. AS soon as she enters the car will move. As you go through the cars you will find that there are monsters on the train. Fight your way up the train till you get the first car. There the train will stop. (Note: For a surprise when you enter a new car check the door you just came through. The car you were just in will vanish. Another surprise is once you get to the last car and and the train stops. Look at the door to get onto the next car...this is supposed to be the driver's car....guess what...nothing there.)

Well, she's reached her stop...but not where she needs to be. This is the underground sewers. As she finds the end of the sewers Heather finds her self at the building level. (Note*: To get passed the big creature in the water. Grab a hair dryer. Plug it in and toss it in the water. The monster will be electrocuted allowing you to pass over safely.)

In the building level Heather finds a Katana. She chooses the smaller one saying the big one was too heavy (Note* in teh sewer you can pick up a maul...which is a giant staff with a ball at the end with spikes....sure she can lug that around through the entire game but won't get the bigger sword....right....). Once you get to this appliance store at the bath tub Heather has a sudden urge to have a bath? The water flows but its blood. She then passes out only to awaken to the Other Building world. Here she'll encounter Vincent.

Vincent will creep her out and she'll run. After the building word you have to navigate around the streets to get to your apartment. Here you see Heather's father , Harry Morris., Dead. (In case you haven't figured it out yet. Heather's dad is Harry MAson. Which makes Heather the baby at the end of Silent Hill.)

She runs up to the roof to see that Claudia killed her father by using the Mercenary. The Mercenary will then Attack Heather. AFter the fight Heather and Douglas go to Silent Hill. Heather tells him that she is Alessa. She talks about Harry taking her in. "He loved me like I was his own daughter." She sobs.

At Silent Hill they split up. Heather goes to the hospital while Douglas goes to the Amusement Park. Heather eventually leaves the hospital after quite a few freaky encounters with nurses, and a Weird man named Stanley who follows her around. Vincent will be at the apartment and tells her to go to the amusement park.

There she'll meet douglas who has been stabbed. She'll tell him she'll be right back and goes to the Church. Claudia will give her a big speech. Apparently alessa was her big sister. After teh conversation Claudia will walk away. Heather navigates through the church. Claudia stabs Vincent and then takes God into her own body. Then she will become the final boss.

After defeating "God" Heather will return to the amusement and based on teh ending you get Douglas will either still be alive...or be dead.

~*Update on James Sunderland*~
Maria was not a stripper at Heaven's Night, but she was actually a figure James made to cope with the pain of Mary. That's why in one of the endings right before you fight Mary, he says "No, I don't need you anymore". Just like he said to Pyramid Head.

~~~~Henry Townshend~~~~

Henry Townshend is the quiet type and an excellent photographer. His apartment is lined with pictures he took himself, and you may also notice several books and a sketchbook on his desk, showing possible interest in writing. Some of the photos resemble past silent hill games, like in one picture is the Balkan Church, and the Old Lighthouse, which were both from Silent Hill 1. If you examine the picture at some point, Henry will say "It is rumored a UFO flew right by this lighthouse" referencing to the UFO endings in the other games.
Henry loves cars, which is visible by the car magazines on his coffee table. He is also a collector of books, which can be visibly noticed on the bookshelf in the living room, though he has never read any of them. Henry puts himself before others at all costs. This is visible when he risks his own life by touching Richard's electric chair to save him, even though he could do nothing. Or when he first meets Joseph, he sticks Eileen behind him instinctively.

There are many symbollic features. Henry is locked in his room, much like how Walter and the other infants were locked up. Just like how Walter use to be watched, Henry is always being watched by hauntings. Evidence is when you notice the Church picture turning into a picture of Walter, and the ominous phone call from Joseph "I'm always watching you....". Henry is a very observant person, and even his job as a photographer requires him to watch things. When he finds a peephole in his livingroom, he keeps an eye on Eileen. He is not a social person though, and up until the game's events, he has no relationship build-up amongst his other apartment neighbors. Unlike most protagonists, Henry does not show any "obvious problems" to work through. The monsters in Silent Hill 2 and 3 were created based on the fears and guilts of the protagonist, but the monsters of Silent Hill 4 seem to be made from the twisted mind of the antagonist, like in Silent Hill 1, but this time, it's Walter.

He is also nicknamed the Receiver of Wisdom by Walter Sullivan during the 21 sacraments. It is undecided as to which ending TRULY happened out of the multitude of endings, but Silent Hill fans everywhere might someday be able to answer which ending it was by future game developments.

~*Travis Grady*~

Travis Grady is a seemingly normal trucker who suffers ominous nightmares that seem oddly familiar to him. While driving back from a stop close to Silent Hill a figure steps in front of the truck and collapses. He swerves and nearly crashes. When he gets out to investigate he finds a burning house. He goes in and saves a little girl. He collapes and an unknown amount of time later he awakes in Silent Hill. He decides to go to the nearest hospital to figure out what is going on with the girl he just rescued.

I'm not quite sure what else happens because I haven't played the game. I do know that he is able to go from world to world at will. Also, It is set before the Original game because Dahlia is still alive.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post here but I don't believe that this bit in the Harry Mason profile is true -

XxPants_NinjaxX
. . . . . He names the new girl.....Heather.


Harry named the new baby girl 'Cheryl' not Heather.

If you read Douglas' note book it states this -
Client : Claudia Wolf
Request : Searching for (then infant) Alessa Gillespie, kidnapped by man named Harry Mason.

No word from police,
Kidnap location unknown.

Old Silent Hill newspaper article :
Alessa Gillespie (7) dead in fire.

Links to current case ?
To be investigated. Priority : Low.


Using alias "Heather."
Neighbors do not know real name.
What is she hiding ?


According to records, 24 years old.
Client says looks 17 --- plausible ?


Lived in Portland 'til 12 years ago.
Got wrapped up in a murder case;
Harry shot suspect.

Justifiable self-defence, so no
punishment. Moved away immediately after, started to use
alias.

Apparently no connection with the
criminal. Just some occult freak,
slightly off from way back.
Originally from Silent Hill ?



Also at the end of SH3, if you get the Douglas alive ending this conversation follows -

Douglas : Heather ! Is it really over ?
Heather : Not yet . . . You're still alive.
Douglas : (looking shocked)
Heather : boo, just a joke. :'D
Douglas : You've got terrible taste.
Heather : I'm sorry.
Douglas : Heather did you . . .
Heather : Don't call me that, I'm not hiding any more.
Douglas : You want me to use your real name ? what was it again . . .
Heather : Cheryl. The name my father gave me.



So in short After the events of Silent Hill, Harry took Cheryl and moved to Portland. However, her whereabouts were discovered by a cult member who was searching for her, Harry shot cult member, ran off with Cheryl again, moved to a new town and then and only then she started to use the alias of 'Heather.'
