Talk:Martin Fitch

While reading the Ancient books, I came across something interesting

Performer of RitesEdit
This duty was, as declared by The Pact, taken up by the Fitch Family.
 * With the truth of the old believers fractured, it is essential that one person
 * maintain and effectuate the modern sectarian rites we have toiled so faithfully to create and protect.
 * After taking up the mantle of this post, The Performer Of Rites shall make a pilgrimage
 * to the edge of the forsaken region to purify himself from the sins of the past.
 * There he will beseech the forefathers for forgiveness and understanding.
 * In God's Name, so shall it be.


 * This was written probably 150-some years ago, so he couldn't have been talking about the Otherworld (which didn't happen until that unfortunate Alessa incident). More likely, once the one who was to make the sacrifice got his or her degree as a doctor, they would travel near or to Silent Hill (The forsaken region) to ritualistically cleanse themselves of past sins, praying to their ancestors.


 * For Fitch now, it's very different. The Otherworld is the forsaken region, and Fitch has traveled there (into the hells of his mind) to try to bleed the sin out of him.  It's interesting how it echos.

Anyone else feel that Dr Fitch is the most repentant of all the parents of the sacrificed kids? Its like, all of them (obviously except Judge Holloway) are repentant and devastated about the losses, but Fitch is (literally, with the self-harm) torn apart by what he did, to a point where he puts himself under constant torture for doing it. I almost feel sorry for him in the end. :(
