Harry Mason
The main protagonist of the game and the playable character throughout most of the game, Harry Mason is in this continuity a native of Silent Hill, born thirty-two years prior to the events of the game, and suffers from a rare mental condition known as "Thornton's syndrome", which results in him having severe issues recalling minor events, such as remembering the names and faces of others. Living with uncaring and drug-addicted parents, he had to teach himself to read and write, and was subject to bullying due to his memory issues, upbringing, and "nerdiness". One day, during a particularly vicious session of bullying, he was saved and taken away by the teenage Dahlia Gillespie, who received permission from his parents to move him in with her after giving them a stash of drugs. Brought to live with Dahlia and her mother Christabella, Harry, suffering from depression at his young age, began writing fiction novels to try and cope with his life, starting with a romance titled Longing for the Moon. Suffering passive-aggressive abuse from Dahlia, who was in turn severely abused by her mother, Harry continously refused to partake in the Order's rituals and actions, describing them as a "load of drugged-up bullcrap", although he was eventually dragged into Dahlia's theories of the conception of a "god" that would bring paradise to Earth.

On his eighteenth birthday, Dahlia, who was obsessed with marrying and starting a family with him, coerced Harry into having unprotected sex with her, being convinced that the child would be the prophesied "God". Following this, Harry, finally hitting his breaking point, promptly stole a stash of White Claudia, the plant-based drugs the Order dealt, and ran from the Gillespie home with only a backpack containing some of his novels and a ribbon of ink. Selling the White Claudia to a minor drug dealer on the outskirts of Silent Hill for money and a gun, not knowing it was unloaded, Harry continued to run into the woods, eventually arriving at a gas station outside of Silent Hill where he met the truck driver Travis Grady. Undergoing a severe panic attack after mishearing his conversation with the store clerk, Harry briefly and unsuccessfully attempted to mug Travis before breaking down and tearfully asking him for help. Taking pity on the boy, Travis took him with him out of Maine, agreeing to help him start a new life after hearing his story.

Less than a year later, Harry had Longing for the Moon and two other novels he wrote published by a company that had a employee who was a friend of Travis. Using the stage name Kirk Graham, he continued writing novels full-time, and became a quite successful author. He received a package from Travis, who had received it from Dahlia, who was pregnant with her and Harry's child. Harry did not open the package for a year, during which time Dahlia gave birth to their daughter Alessa, named after a character in Longing for the Moon. Finally opening the box to find a necklace that unbeknownst to him contained a raw Aglaophotis stone, Harry, while accepting the gift, refused to wear it, feeling uncomfortable with it. He spent his life not knowing of his biological daughter until his later return to Silent Hill sixteen years later, and enjoyed a happy life with his best friend Travis. One of his novels, The Day I Saw Without My Eyes, was notably inspired by Harry acting as a wingman to Travis during his first date after many years of sexual frustration.

Eight years later, Harry's publishing company pressured him to create a thirtieth novel. Struggling to find ideas, Harry turned to Travis for help, who in turn revealed a experience he had in Silent Hill a year prior. He had stumbled upon a housefire with a crowd of people standing outside, and upon hearing the cries of a woman inside had broken down a door, allowing the woman, revealed to be Dahlia, to escape, carrying the body of Alessa, covered in fourth-degree burns. Concluding that the Order was in some way responsible for the incident, Harry persuaded Travis to drive him to Silent Hill to confront Dahlia. Upon arrival, however, the duo, having not paid attention to the news, found that the town had been devastated by a mass fire, tsunami, major earthquake and tornado, all of which had occurred in rapid succession of one another. While helping the survivors, Harry briefly reunited with his sole childhood friend, Mary Shepherd, who was able to inform of the deaths of his parents, the majority of the Order, Christabella, and seemingly Dahlia during the disaster. While mourning Dahlia at the remains of her home, Harry heard a infant crying and investigated. He came across a untouched shelter beneath the house, where he found a swaddled newborn with a note attached to her blanket confirming her as Dahlia's child, stating that Dahlia could not raise her and wanted Harry to have her. Harry promptly adopted the girl, naming her Cheryl.

Nine years after adopting Cheryl,
