Helen Grady is the mother of Travis. During Travis' childhood, Helen went insane, claiming that she heard voices from the mirror that her "demon child" had to be killed. She then tried to gas him and herself, but was stopped and committed to the Cedar Grove Sanatorium. Helen would turn violent when she learned that Travis would come along with his father to visit her, so Richard Grady told Travis that Helen had died, though Richard wrote her letters until his suicide. Helen had died of an unknown cause by the time "Silent Hill: Origins" starts and her remains are discovered by Travis in the sanatorium.
