Missionary
Talk9this wiki
The Missionary is a major boss from Silent Hill 3. It is a tall, humanoid monster that seems to be able to comprehend orders. It wears a sack over his head and a noose around it's neck. It also wears a set of robes, much like a butcher's smock, and has bicep-length rubber gloves stained in blood. It's weapons of choice are two tonfa-like objects with long blades jutting from the handle.
It appears on the roof of Heather Mason's apartment, having murdered Harry Mason not long before, in order to enrage Heather. After a brief heated conversation, Claudia Wolf commands it to attack Heather as well.
The Order's church, near the end of the game, is home to a few similar beings as well, called Scrapers. The Book of Lost Memories labels Scrapers as different entities, so they are not the same as the Missionary, making it unique.

Character 
Edit
The Missionary attacks with its tonfa-like bladed weapons. It often meanders about, seemingly aimlessly, until it springs an attack. It is fairly lithe and quick-footed for a Silent Hill monster as well. It's reflexes are also nearly super-human in quality, as it's able to deflect handgun bullets with it's weapons with perfect timing; however, it's still vulnerable to melee and shotgun attacks, making these the best methods in which to take him down. Like many other monsters in the game, it is constantly twitching.
Symbolism Edit
The Missionary is a member of the Order that has become monstrous due to Claudia's power. To Heather's eyes, the appearance it takes is that of a monster.
Area Edit
- Daisy Villa Apartment's rooftop
TriviaEdit
- The Missionary is the first monster in the series to canonically kill a protagonist. (Harry Mason)
- It speaks to Claudia's character that she abandons the Missionary to be killed by Heather on the rooftop - she obviously does not intend for the Missionary to kill Heather, and knows Heather is more than angry enough to kill.
- The Chainsaw Majini from Resident Evil 5 has a similar appearance to the Missionary. Both of them have some sort of brown, bloody plastic sack on their heads, and use blades to attack.
- The Missionary also resembles the Biggy Man, a boss from the 1988 arcade game Splatterhouse. While similar in appearance, the Biggy Man uses dual chainsaws as weapons.
- The Missionary appears to have a monster based on it, called Scraper. These are smaller and weaker versions of the Missionary. They are extremely similar in appearance, sharing even the plastic sack on their heads and the tonfa-like blades. They aren't, however, the same creature.
- The Missionary cannot see Heather if she turns off the flashlight and stands somewhere dark on the roof. The Missionary will charge Heather, then wander around aimlessly as it needs light to see her. This may show proof that the Missionary is somewhat human, or even partially blind.
