This guide provides detailed information on the characters featured in Silent Hill: The Short Message. Learn about their backgrounds, motivations, and connections within the game's narrative.

Harry Mason
Age: 32
Occupation: Writer
Bio: Harry is a devoted father and writer who, along with his wife Jodie, adopted a baby found by the roadside. Three years later, Jodie died from an illness. Four years after that, his daughter Cheryl suggested a vacation to Silent Hill to help Harry cope with his grief.

Cheryl Mason
Age: 7
Occupation: Student
Bio: Cheryl's adoptive mother, Jodie, died when she was three. Her father, Harry, struggled with the loss, and Cheryl became his reason to keep going. She suggested a vacation to Silent Hill for Harry, though the reason for choosing the town remains a mystery.

Cybil Bennet
Age: 22
Occupation: Police Officer
Bio: A strong-willed police officer from Brahms, Cybil is sent to Silent Hill due to communication issues. Initially skeptical of the town's paranormal activity, she befriends Harry to help him find Cheryl. Her past includes witnessing her parents' murder, which motivated her to join law enforcement.

Dahlia Gillespie
Age: 46
Occupation: Cult Leader, Town Loony
Bio: Dahlia leads the "Green Light Order" cult in Silent Hill, worshipping a "God" to whom Alessa is the mother. She orchestrated occult rituals to facilitate Alessa giving birth to this God, resulting in a fire that severely burned Alessa. Alessa's soul split into two, with one part becoming the baby adopted by Harry and Jodie. Alessa later telepathically called Cheryl back to Silent Hill.

Dr. Michael Kaufmann
Age: 50
Occupation: Doctor
Bio: A close friend of Dahlia Gillespie and director of the Alchemilla Hospital's medical staff, Dr. Kaufmann was responsible for Alessa's care. He is involved with the drug PVT (White Claudia) and may have his own motives regarding the birth of "God.".

Lisa Garland
Age: 23
Occupation: Nurse
Bio: A nurse at Alchemilla Hospital, Lisa was tasked with caring for the severely burned Alessa. Struggling with Alessa's unhealing wounds and the town's horrors, she wished to leave the nursing profession but was coerced into staying by Dr. Kaufmann, who threatened her "PVT" supply.
