Silent hill downpour who is the mailman

Just trying to be helpful, son. Howard : Name's Howard, by the way. Murphy : Murphy. Howard : Heading to prison, are you, Murphy? Murphy : Just looking for a way out of town, that's all. Howard : That so? Every last one of them.

Strangest thing. Murphy : What the -? Howard : Something wrong, son? Murphy : Did you see it? Up there in the window. Murphy : Never mind. Howard : I suppose if you're really desperate, you could try the old sky tram. Course, it hasn't really been kept up since the accident.

Apparently, Howard has a very detailed story which dates back to before the founding of the town as "Silent Hill". Silent Hill became an official town in the early s, but it is unknown how "far back" Howard has existed. Early on, he gives subtle indications that he has intimate knowledge of the goings on of Silent Hill, both mundane and esoteric.

He shows an incredibly calm and friendly demeanor in every situation he encounters. When asked how long he's been in Silent Hill, Howard responds, "A long time A very long time.

It is during this conversation that Howard has a flashback which reveals that he was either a slave tracker or an overseer before being drawn to the town. Later, Howard Blackwood senses something happening at the Munroe House.

After Inola has Esther given birth to Awinita , Howard calmly inquires about the house on fire, and Inola replies that the spirits of Silent Hill are no longer silent, that the fires burn for them, and that "they've only just begun Howard himself has been delivering mail in Silent Hill for over a century.

Though it is never revealed exactly who or why, Howard mentions that he had killed someone in apparent self-defense once, which could be a transgression that led him Full Circle.

Howard's first appearance in Downpour has him encountering Murphy Pendleton , around the time where Murphy first enters Silent Hill near the Devil's Pitstop , and makes a remark regarding the car Murphy was examining. Murphy, cautious of Howard's obvious awareness of his convict status due to his prisoner uniform , tells him that he doesn't want any trouble and he just wants a way out of town, to which Howard, surprised, says that he's just trying to be helpful and informs him that all the roads are out.

Murphy then notices a figure in the window of the diner's hotel, but Howard seems to be oblivious of it. Howard then suggests to Murphy that he can use the old sky tram in order to get to town, despite it not being used since the Devil's Pit accident. Murphy says that he'll take his chances and Howard wishes him good luck in finding whatever it is that he's "looking for," and departs to deliver the mail. I do hope they move away from the guilt story lines in SH9.

User Info: AyumiSqueezetoy AyumiSqueezetoy 9 years ago 1 Last week, someone told me there was a reason the postman sounds like he's from out of town, or something, but at the time, I hadn't finished the game so didn't inquire further.

I only talked to the Postman a couple times during the game, and he basically served to guide me to a few points of interest. In fact, to go back with the whole mythos, Howard Blackwood the mailman's name was also in the Silent Hill comics, which took place years ago.

He's also going to be in Book of Memories. I believe he's the one who places the notes everywhere through the series. There's clues he's sort of a messenger of the Otherworld, for those who get trapped in the foggy Silent Hill and is the one who leaves the messages around town.

Only if you pay me. User Info: Cerabret That would make sense, the instant i met him, something felt However i have to wonder why a messenger of the Otherworld would be so helpful when it usually appears to try to kill everyone more often than not.

There's a few other hints in the game And in the scene where he hands Murphy the letter from the Orphanage, and I missed this the first time, Murphy throws it on the ground to which the mailman reaches into his bag and pulls out another copy of the exact letter Murphy just threw on the ground.
