Silent Hill Origins/Characters

Travis Grady
A trucker with a slight temper problem and a Dark and Troubled Past that, in the words of Zero Punctuation, is the equivalent of a season pass to Silent Hill.


 * Badass Biker: After finishing the game for the first time, you get a new costume for Travis; motorcycle leathers (which his comments confirm that he owns, alongside a bike).
 * Berserk Button: Parental Abandonment and Abusive Parents, big time.
 * Dark and Troubled Past: Which you unfold during the game.
 * The Ishmael
 * Nice Hat: His default trucker hat, the Explorer's Costume also gives him one snazzy piece of headgear.
 * Rule of Symbolism: A recurring symbol of his character is a lonely moon; the lyrics to the song O.R.T. on the soundtrack describe him this way. His aforementioned motorcycle leathers have said moon on the back of the jacket.
 * Spanner in The Works: The Order did not plan on Travis's interference blowing their plans to hell for 7 years.
