Murphy Pendleton, nicknamed Cupcake, is the protagonist of Silent Hill: Downpour. In the beginning of the game, little is known about him or his early life, except that he was an orphan and grew up at an orphanage similar to St. Maria's Monastery. He is prisoner number RS 273A and was arrested and imprisoned at Ryall State Prison. According to Frank Coleridge, the reasons for his arrest were car theft, resisting arrest and evading the police force. This led to the events of Downpour and Murphy's adventure into Silent Hill.
