2- *INTRODUCTION*                                        
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many Characters seem to be totally ignored by most folks , mainly because we 
never see them in the game . I'm talking about all those characters briefly 
mentioned in the game and that seem useless to the story at first glance. By 
reading memos and linking them to the story we can gather alot of information 
on those characters and further enhance our knowledge of this complex game. So 
I started a topic on the GameFaqs board and basically started making 
descriptions about all the characters that are heard about in the game and , I 
immediately started to  find interesting things about  those characters  that 
linked some of them to the story in a much deeper way I previously envisioned 
, so I decided to make a Faq out of it ! 

These description are based on what's in the game , so a characters may  have 
almost no information on him while another has tons of details written , and 
don't expect some weird theories about characters that has no evidence to back 
it up . I didn't write stuff on most of the main characters since I believe 
President Evil's Plot Guide has excellent profiles of the main characters and I 
didn't want to compete with him (PS : Read every word of his Faq before reading 
mine to know what's going on). 

Now For The Profiles *SPOILERS* ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3- *THE INSANE PEOPLE*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Jack Davis :
Mental Patient At Hospital , he attempted suicide 3 times in a short period of
time . While he is normally calm , he can becomes extremely violent when 
attempting suicide. He is the one who wrote the suicidal journal on the hospital 
roof , and is an early explanation to the player of the mental illness Angela 
Suffers From (Split Personnality , Want to commit Suicide ).

*Joshua Lewis:
Mental Patient At Hospital , he can become really violent and dangerous when 
angry . He has a strong persecution syndrome , which makes him think everyone 
hates him . Like Jack Davis , he also is an early explanation to the player of 
the mental illness Eddie suffers from , which is described as a complex of 
persecution ("He was making fun of me with his eyes").

*Joseph Barkin:
Mental Patient At Hospital , he believes he caused the death of his daughter . 
He feels immense guilt and suffers from a Psychotic breakdown and Paranoid 
delusions. While normally calm , he can get violent when excited. He cares 
about a piece of hair that belonged to his dead daughter (Louise) , which he 
swore to protect . He is again an early explanation of the mental problems of
James , who also suffers from extreme guilt and delusions (Don't remember he 
killed his Mary , has hallucinations , etc). He spells like a four year old 
(kinda like me , hehe) and was the one who stole the key from the prison 
director and buried it in the park.

*The Hospital Director/Doctor:
He was in charge of the mental patients and was mostly interested by Joseph 
Barkin. He wrote an interesting memo about the "illness" that Barkin suffered 
from and that these delusions were where he was happy . He also seemed to 
suffer from some mental problems he could have inherited from the patients , 
as in the letter he leaves near the wrench , he talks about an abyss in the 
historical society and that he saw that "thing" (pyramid head?). He also seems 
to know James and his fate , even if he had never met him in the game (demonic 
influence ?). He is probably the "blood writing guy" described below , since 
some blood writing appeared at the same time as a letter ("my patient" written 
in the letter) and wrench were dropped near the restaurant.

*Blood Writing Guy:
Probably the hospital doctor mentioned before , seems like his style to write 
these comments. He had to be alive at least till he wrote the "If you want to 
see Mary" comment in the cafe at night , and both the writing in blood and the 
letter had the same themes (the damnation James was facing and the abyss/hole 
were in both). A corpse can be found in front of the cafe at night , so chances
are the blood writing guy died (Monster , Eddie , Suicide?) right after writing
the comment in the cafe.

*Walter Sullivan:
Killer Of Billy And Miriam Locane , which he killed and chopped into pieces 
with an axe. He said to a friend that he saw the red devil(Pyramid Head) and 
that he was going to punish him . He eventually got caught by the police , but 
he killed himself in his cell , burying a spoon two inches deep in his neck. 
His tombstone now lies in what I would call "the catacombs of the damned" , 
along with an unknown "Myriam K. - Traitor" , a drunken criminal , many 
tombstones too scratched to read and three freshly digged graves (James, Eddie 
and Angela Written on them).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4- *THE OROSCO FAMILY*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Angela Orosco (Reference Only , Not A Complete Profile) : 
Daughter of Thomas Orosco , since when she was really young her father 
molested her , leaving her mentally scarred . When she got older , she tried 
to run away from home , but her father managed to get her back , continuing to 
rape her until the day she stabbed him with a knife . She feels guilty and 
is considering killing herself with the same knife she used to kill her father.

*Thomas Orosco : 
Lumberjack , He was eventually killed by his daughter, who he raped and beat up
during most of her childhood. The murder was called a "crime of passion" , and 
no proof was found that could incriminate Angela. He probably lived in the Appt 
building in Silent Hill.

*Miss "Mama" Orosco : 
The mother of Angela , loved by her daughter even if she said she deserved what
happened to her. She probably lived in the Appt building in silent hill. 
-Update: Vejiitassj4 sent me an E-mail explaining that she might have been the 
-one who killed Thomas, so I decided to add it here since Its an interesting 
-theory , but doesn't have much concrete proofs in-game.

*"Brother" Orosco : 
No Info Available , he can't even be identified on the Orosco family picture
because a torn piece of the picture hides the spot where he probably was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5- *The Others*
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Rachel The Nurse:
She was the nurse in charge of Mary And Laura at the hospital. Mary had given 
her two letters , one for James , one for Laura and asked her to give them to 
both when she was going to die . However , Laura managed to take both letters 
from Rachel , so James never received the letter. What he received was only a 
part on the letter (that didn't exist , check the envelope after you meet 
laura in the hotel and the letter will be gone , probably Samael playing tricks
on James to draw him to Silent Hill).

*Notebook Corpse and his friend:
He saw monsters , but his friend didn't. He wrote some useful details about 
the monsters and advises in a notebook. He got killed (probably Eddie again , 
but maybe by monsters) and his body now rests near the pet cemetery. Nothing 
More Known.

*Guy That Lived In The Trailer and Map Guy:
The guy in the trailer was invited by someone (Blood writing guy ?)  to meet 
him at Bar Neely's. In bar Neely's , a map that shows the exploration done by 
somebody can be found . Another map can be found near a corpse , it was surely 
made by the same person who did the first map . But this corpse can't be the 
blood writing guy since he later wrote another bloody comment in the bar , so
, chances are that he's the Trailer Guy , who used maps provided by the guy 
that invited him (Blood writing guy) to try to escape , just like James did. 
He was probably killed by Eddie, but monsters could have easily killed him too.

*Statues In The Park;
Jennifer Carroll was victim of persecution by the Christians , she is now 
buried in the park . The Statue also says "What happened here shall never be 
forgotten". The other statue is a memorial to Patrick Chester , Son Of Edward
Chester , who died for liberty and for the people. War Hero ?

*Prison Inhabitants:
The guard seemed to treat the prisoners like if there were scum , not much 
more known about him . He talks about the prisonners and how they always 
begged for mercy , even when they could not speak. These prisonners are still 
haunting the prison cells as invisible monsters , groaning as James approches 
(This Was Sent To Me By Wirewyrm). There was a prisoner who used to practice 
black magic in his cell , another one who painted three paintings , one that 
looks like the Lakeview Hotel in fire , another that looks like a woman flying 
in the sky and finally , the last one is about a music recital (Still searching 
for a good explanation about those paintings). I won't talk about the 
executioners here , check out President Evil's SH2 plot guide for info on them 
and why they are in fact Pyramid Head.

*Tim , Lyne , Uncle David:
Tim And Lyne lived together in room 209 of the Appt. Building while David lived
in room 109 of The Same Appt. Building. Weird whispers can be heard sometimes 
in the room where Lyne lived , nothing else I can add except that David liked 
coin so much he made a puzzle out of it , which is a pain in the ass on Extra 
difficulty level.

*Corpses Under The Lake:
Two tragedies happened in Toluca Lake , one where 13 people drowned in 
the lake water and another where victims (73 , I Think) of the great plague that 
ravaged the town somehow managed to get at the lake's bottom (Article about 
that tragedy has been clipped out , can't add more info about what happened).

*Myriam K. :
Traitor , she was probably executed by pyramid head and now lies in the 
catacombs in the prison labyrinth with other sinners .

*Felon That Drank His Last Bottle Of Ale:
Buried in the Catacombs too , don't ask , I have no idea who he is !!

*Eddie's Oppressors:
Eddie killed a dog , then shot someone he probably knew from his football years 
in the apartement (football posters in the Appt , "hard time playing football"
comment) , then he stuffed him in a fridge. The rest of the corpses found in 
the streets can probably be linked to Eddie , while most of the corpses found 
that were shot "execution style" have surely been killed by Eddie.
