Biography
Harry Mason is a loving father to his daughter Cheryl. Upon losing her in Silent Hill, he selflessly throws himself into danger, facing disturbing monsters and suffering the freezing temperatures of Silent Hill in his attempts to locate her.
Harry appears to have strong resolve to get home to his daughter. So keen is he to get home, in fact, that despite the surreal events occuring around him, he seems content enough simply to be in the familiar visage of his house. He also appears to have a quick temper, raising his voice when frustrated, though doesn't come across as aggressive.
Harry is not particularly strong or trained in any form of combat, and as such he chooses to flee from the the monsters of the town rather than confront them.
Appearance
Harry's appearance has been slightly changed, for example, he wears glasses. Harry's glasses also compliment his occupation as a simple writer. He remains easily identifiable with his original interpretation, such as his distinctive brown jacket. He appears to be well prepared for emergencies, having both an industrial flashlight (rather than the pipe model carried in the pocket), and a modern cell phone, complete with GPS and camera.
Role
Harry awakes on the outskirts of Silent Hill, having driven his vehicle off the highway and into a junkyard. He discovers his daughter is missing, and sets off in search of her. Along the way he comes across a police officer named Cybil Bennett. She questions Harry about his crash and the reason for his daughter's disappearance. She ultimately comes to the conclusion that, as Harry lives on Levin Street, his daughter has probably just gone home as it is located just a few blocks away. Harry seems to be confused by this information and he wonders what is wrong with him.
Harry then calls home to see if Cheryl is there, and asks her to wait for him. Using the GPS system on his phone, he locates the direction of his house, and heads back home. Upon setting out, the world is suddenly consumed by ice as it transitions into the Otherworld. Buildings become encased in glaciers, power poles and street lights are uprooted and topple over, and fountain water freezes. Harry soon encounters a large number of humanoid creatures, faceless and pale, who attack him. He flees for his life, and eventually manages to make it to the safety of house number 1206 on Levin Street. However, he finds out that it belongs to another family entirely, and he sits on the porch steps, unsure of what to do next.
Trivia
- Harry carries a photo of Cheryl in his wallet.
