John P. Sater is a former tour guide of the Devil's Pit, a once-popular tourist attraction in Silent Hill. JP was responsible for the death of eight children during a collapse of an underground tram transporting tourists, as he was intoxicated at that time. Defamed and losing his job, JP blamed himself for the accident and became suicidal. He is already contemplating suicide by the time Murphy arrives in the town; regardless whether Murphy choose to console or taunt him, he jumped onto a chasm to his death. Before his suicide, however, he implies that he knows Murphy and the latter's guilt over his past sins.
