History Characters / SilentHillDownpour

* DropTheHammer: The Bogeyman's Hammer (also called the "Great Hammer" by fans due to the creature's thematic similarities to Pyramid Head) is its signature weapon, a large wooden handle attached to a cinderblock serving as the head. While Murphy himself is unable to use it [[spoiler:until the end]], the beast itself can break the floor apart with a single slam.
** HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Murphy finishes off the boss fight with it by stealing its hammer and laying the smackdown with it.]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: They're the closest thing ''Downpour'' has to the Nurse monsters that appear throughout the series, except this time they're not even tangentially related to hospitals.

* SuddenlyVoiced: They only ever giggle and moan in pain with Murphy, but the Doll that appears to Anne in her comic series actually does speak to her in full, threatening sentences.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:She's the fourth time a ''Silent Hill'' game makes you face a completely human enemy.]]

* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:The "Execution" ending paints him as a remorseless [[OffingTheOffspring son killer]] and CopKiller whose response to the officer overseeing his rightfully-deserved lethal injection that [[SeeYouInHell they will meet again in Hell]]. Averted in all the other endings]].

* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:In the "Execution" ending, it's revealed that ''he'' killed Charlie, just so his wife wouldn't get custody but this might just be Silent Hill fully manifesting the worst possible scenario of his guilt amd self blame over Charlie's death after he goes off the deep end by double downing on the behaviour and beliefs causing his issues.]]

* HurtingHero: Suffering greatly due to the loss of his son.

A corrections office from Wayside Maximum Security who seems to have a particular interest in Murphy, angrily and obsessively chasing him through Silent Hill and seemingly intent to kill him. Her side of the story is explored in a comic tie-in series appropriately named "''Anne's Story''", which shows what happened during Anne's exploration of the town.

* JerkassWoobie: In her grief, she blames and abandons Murphy for not being able to protect their son Charlie [[spoiler:from the pedophile murderer Napier]], but this is still understandable because of the crushing grief she must've felt over it, possibly being just as devastated as Murphy.

* SexForServices: "Anne's Story" revealed the nature of the "sick things" Anne said she had to to get Murphy transferred to her prison, as [[spoiler:Warden Leonard B. Trent extorted her into an extramarital affair in exchange for his cooperation, which ended up tarnishing her reputation and ending her marriage]].

* CycleOfRevenge: [[spoiler:She's after Murphy because he ([[MultipleEndings possibly]]) killed her father as part of a deal to get at the man who killed his son. Wether or not she succumbs to it depends on the ending, but the canon ending outlines she's firmly intent to continue it, just targeting the right person this time around.]]

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: [[spoiler:She's the fourth time a ''Silent Hill'' game makes you face a completely human enemy.]]

* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler:Except for the fact that according to the tie-in comic "Anne's Story", he couldn't bring himself to kill Napier nor Coleridge, forcing Sewell to finish the job both times.]]

* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler:Except for the fact that according to the tie-in comic "Anne's Story", he didn't actually kill Coleridge.]]

%%* WouldHurtAChild: And it's just that that led to Murphy being where he is now.

* YouHaveToBelieveMe: Uh-huh, Sanchez, sure, it just ''looked'' like you were killing and/or raping that woman and gloating about it in the process. [[spoiler:Oh shit it's a Screamer.]]

* CycleOfRevenge: Discussed, as the quote above shows. She exists in the plot to give Murphy this epiphany regarding Charlie's death and some of the events afterwards.

* KnifeNut: Stabber Minions wield prison shanks and are appropriately more twitchy and erratic, dodging out of the way more often and being overall trickier to fight due to their agility.

->''"[[VoiceOfTheLegion Did you enjoy the ride, Murphy?]]"''

A monstrous being confined to a wheelchair as its only means of locomotion and with tubes going into and out of its body, seen often by Murphy during his trek through Silent Hill until it finally becomes a threat near the end of the Overlook Penitentiary as a giant boss battle. The Wheelman is a posthumous incarnation of Frank Coleridge, Anne Cunningham's father, and Murphy's haunting memory of what happened to him, as well as Anne's primary reason for revenge against him.

->''"Revenge is a long, treacherous road, isn't it Mr. Pendleton? Where do you suppose it ends?"''

->''"Tell me something, puta, that true what I heard about you? Did you really do it?"''

->''"Son, you still don't get it... it doesn't matter what you want. As for me... I got mail to deliver. Goodbye, Murphy. Good luck, Murphy. I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for."''

->''""You killed him! You killed the Bogeyman!""''

->''"It's not your fault."''

->''"Son, you still don't get it... it doesn't matter what you want. As for me... I got mail to deliver. Goodbye, Murphy."''
