List of Silent Hill characters

Major and minor characters from the survival horror video game series Silent Hill are organized below.

Silent Hill's player characters are mostly "everymen", in contrast to action-oriented survival horror video game series featuring combat-trained player characters, such as Resident Evil. Silent Hill is set in a multiverse consisting of reality and various alternate dimensions which are monster-filled versions of the series' eponymous fictional American town.

Main protagonists

Harry Mason

Harold "Harry" Mason^[1] (voiced by Michael G) first appears in the first installment in the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill, as the main protagonist and player character. A thirty-two-year-old writer^[1][2] whose wife died of an illness^[1] four years prior to the game's events,^[2] he has not accepted her death.^[1] Harry lives with his adopted daughter Cheryl,^[2] whom he and his wife found abandoned while vacationing in Silent Hill.^[3] He drives with Cheryl to the town,^[2] due to her wish for a vacation there,^[1][2] but they have a car accident^[2] at its outskirts, which leaves him unconscious. He regains consciousness in one of the town's alternate dimensions, realizing that Cheryl has disappeared,^[4] so he navigates it to locate her, periodically slipping in and out of the other alternate dimension and eventually stumbling upon a ritual, in which Cheryl holds a prominent role, conducted by the town's religious cult, which is called "The Order", in an attempt to revive a deity that it worships; the deity is ultimately revived and Harry defeats it. In the game's canonical ending (the "Good" ending), he is given a baby girl,^[5] who is the reincarnation of Alessa Gillespie and Cheryl.

Harry also appears in the series' third installment, Silent Hill 3. He is the adoptive father of the game's main protagonist and player character, Heather. Prior to the events of Silent Hill 3, Harry killed a member of The Order who tracked the two down and went into hiding. In the game, he is assassinated by command of The Order priestess Claudia Wolf, who issued this order out of revenge and to further her goal of having Heather birth the deity.

Harry is also the main protagonist and player character of the first installment's "reimagining", Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. After a car crash in the snowy streets of Silent Hill, he realizes that Cheryl, his seven-year-old daughter is missing. As he begins a quest to find his lost daughter, at the end, the player learns that actually the real Harry Mason died in a car crash eighteen years ago, leaving behind his traumatized daughter.

He stares down at an Air Screamer he has just shot lying in a puddle of blood at his feet. Seeing his vial of Aglaophotis has been shattered by Dahlia, he immediately sets out for the other sample. Depending on the player's actions, Kaufmann is either overwhelmed by a Mumbler inside Annie's Bar, or rescued by Harry. If saved, Kaufmann is thankful, but his business presses him onward. If Harry finds the motorcycle stash first, Kaufmann reappears and angrily snatches it away. He is last seen in the good endings, where he non-fatally shoots Dahlia and throws the Aglaophotis at the Incubator, causing it to expel the Incubus and knocks Kaufmann unconscious. After the Incubus's defeat, he regains conscious and is killed by Lisa Garland, sending him into the pit.

She is last seen in the good endings, attacking Kaufmann and preventing him from leaving Otherworld while it caves in on itself. Lisa also appears as a trainee nurse in Origins, and is fondly remembered by Heather in Silent Hill 3.

Her personality varies according to the player.

Alessa Gillespie

"It's been a long seven years... For the seven years since that terrible day, Alessa has been kept alive, suffering a fate worse than death. Alessa has been trapped in an endless nightmare from which she never wakens [sic]."^[34]

—Dahlia on Alessa's condition during the latter's seven-year confinement in the hospital's basement

Alessa Gillespie (voiced by Sandra Wane) is Dahlia's fourteen-year-old daughter,^[23] who has possessed supernatural powers ever since she was born.^[24] Her classmates at elementary school called her a witch,^[35] teased her,^[36] scribbled on her desk, and excluded her,^[35] because of her possession of these abilities. Seven years prior to the game's events, Dahlia conducted a ritual that impregnated Alessa with the deity through immolation, in order for her to give birth to it; Alessa, having received extensive life-threatening burns from the ritual,^[23] survived because her status as the god's "vessel" rendered her immortal.^[24] Due to her resistance to the ritual, her soul was bisected,^[14] putting the deity inside her in a dormant state, and, thus, preventing the birth.^[37] One of the soul's halves went on to leave in baby Cheryl.^[14][23] After the ritual, Alessa was declared to have been found dead at the Gillespie house^[35] and was secretly and forcibly hospitalized^[14] in Alchemilla, confined in its basement. She was made to continue living through an incantation.^[35] Alessa developed an obsession to cease to exist, which is a sentiment rooted in benevolence, because, that way, she would escape from the pain in which she was eternally made to live.^[36] Harry locates Dahlia along with Cheryl/Alessa and Alessa's apparition, shortly before the game's end. The apparition disappears and a new life form is created as a result of Cheryl's rejoin with the other half of the soul.^[38] This being is named "Incubator" and is Cheryl/Alessa, having the physical appearance of a non-charred Alessa. In the game's canonical, "Good" ending, and in the "Good +" ending, Incubator manifests a baby girl that is the reincarnation of Alessa and Cheryl, gives it to Harry, creates a portal for both of them to escape and is ultimately swept up by fire,^[5] while in the "Bad" and "Bad +" endings, which do not see her manifest a baby, she is killed by Harry, after thanking him.^[5] She also appears in Silent Hill: Origins, but is the only character of the first installment in the series who does not appear in Shattered Memories.

Alessa also appears in the series' first film adaptation (portrayed by Jodelle Ferland and Lorry Ayers)^[19]. In the film, Alessa's backstory is similar to that of the video games. She is bullied in school, and is implied to be raped by the school janitor (who later appears as a monster). Her aunt Christabella burns her as part of a Cult ceremony, but she survives and is put in hospital. Alessa's anger causes her to personify her darkness as "Dark Alessa", also played by Jodelle Ferland. Dark Alessa transforms the town into its reality shifting self but is unable to get revenge upon the Cult due to be unable to enter their church thanks to their blind faith. Alessa than split her goodness away into Sharon Da Silva, again played by Jodelle, who was put up for adoption, later adopted by Rose and Christopher Da Silva. Sharon experiences nightmares of the town and eventually returns there with Rose, ultimately becoming one with Dark Alessa to create a new incarnation of Alessa. Originally, Christophe Gans, the film's director, considered having three different girls to play Alessa's three selves but upon meeting Jodelle he chose her to play all three roles.^[39]

Contrary to Dahlia, her intention in resurrecting the god is to "save" mankind, though she believes she is a sinner and will not be saved. Much like Dahlia, she speaks in riddles and is always barefoot. At the end of the game, she tries to give birth to the deity herself and dies.

Dr. Martin Fitch

Dr. Martin Fitch is also a descendant of one of the founders of Shepherd's Glen, and is tied to the pact required to keep the influence of The Order from pervading the town. As part of the pact, he was required to kill his daughter, Scarlet, by dismembering her. This led to him losing his sanity, and resorting to self-mutilation.
