James Sunderland

The main character from Silent Hill 2, and a wrestler in TCR and TFR.

In Water
James Sunderland worked as a clerk for a small company.

James met Mary at a house party held by a mutual friend. Before Mary and James were married, James would listen to Mary play the piano. Mary liked to play the piano and even though she wasn't very good at it, James still loved to hear her play.

Mary and James decided to take a vacation in Silent Hill after reading a brochure for the town. They stayed in the Lakeview Hotel, where James recorded a videotape of Mary. She asked James to promise her to take her to Silent Hill again some day, but the video tape ends before James replies.

Three years prior, Mary was struck with a terminal disease, and she deteriorated to having violent mood swings, lashing out at James. James questioned Mary's doctors about her illness, and could not believe they would just let Mary die. James visited Mary less frequently.

James began to "drink a fair bit" to escape his pain and loneliness, but it never changed anything. Mary became a burden on James and he slowly began to resent her; yet simultaneously, seeing the one he loved in such pain tormented him.

Finding a note asking him to go to Silent Hill in Mary's handwriting, he would go through a journey to find his wife. However, he would only be met with the terrible truth: The emotional trauma and emptiness that Mary left James put him a constant state of mourning. Eventually he snapped, walked to Mary's bed and kissed her on her forehead before suffocating her with a pillow.

After Mary's death, James carried her body to his car and put her in the backseat, not the trunk.

The terrible truth left him in shock, he would get in his car and drive into the nearby lake, sinking to the bottom...
