* FlatCharacter: Even getting the better endings, he doesn't do an ''awful'' lot of growing within his character arc, all things considered. Accusing him of this is fairly common, as a result. This rather sets him apart from most protagonists for the series, as it's like he blundered in by total accident with little to learn.

And the latter is completely up to the player; you can choose to be a complete jerkass to Eileen and just let Walter have her at the end]]. Also, as stated above, going from being scared and confused at [[spoiler: Walter]] to showing genuine anger in the final boss fight.
* TheHermit: He'd done a wonderful job of isolating himself from much of the world even before he got locked into Room 302. He is eventually forced to grow out of it since his [[spoiler: and Eileen's]] chances of survival depend on it.

* NiceGirl: Her kindness towards others is her defining trait, as she is one of the few residents of the Ashfield Heights to be concerned about Henry's disappearance, in spite of never having a proper interaction with the man beforehand. Even as a child, she gave up her doll to a homeless man in the hopes that it would bring him some comfort. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for Eileen, the same homeless man would then take... special interest in her as she grows up due to her act of kindness towards him]].

** In a bit of very BlackHumor in his backstory, after gunning down Victim #4 with a submachine gun, Steve Garland, the owner of Garland's pet store, after cutting out his heart and cutting up his back, he immediately raced back to his part time job working in a warehouse at Albert's Sporting Goods store to inform, likely brag, to his boss Rick Albert about the murder excitedly.

As Albert silently figured this out, [[AxeCrazy Walter]] promptly [[GolfClubbing viciously beat his boss to death with a golf club]] and claimed him as Victim #5 of the 21 Sacraments.

A serial killer briefly mentioned in a newspaper clipping found in ''Silent Hill 2'', now the main villain of ''4''. He was abandoned in Room 302 as a baby, still with his umbilical cord on him. His parents didn't even bother giving him a name. Since the apartment room was the first thing he saw, he imprinted on it as his mother. He was then found by the superintendent, who had the umbilical cord removed and kept it to himself as a memento. He was given the name Walter Sullivan and grew up in an orphanage out in the woods near Silent Hill, where he was often the subject of abuse and neglect by his caretakers, sent to a "Water Prison" multiple times and having an all-around unstable growth environment. As the orphanage was actually a front by the Order to carry out their teachings, Walter became interested in the "21 Sacraments for the Descent of the Holy Mother" ritual when [[PredecessorVillain Dahlia Gillespie]] put the idea in his head as part of a backup plan to resurrect the Order's god, thinking that it would help him reunite with his "mother", which he now believed was Room 302 itself. The Order then implanted the consciousness of [[HumanoidAbomination Valtiel]] into his subconscious to guide him, and in his adulthood he finally snapped and began to kill many of those who had crossed him before or were simply around him in order to complete the ritual once and for all, stopping at nothing to do so, including his own suicide, whereupon he became [[OurLichesAreDifferent something even worse]]...
