The Purifier, also known as the Great Empath and the Pestilent, is a deity worshipped in the theology of the Foundation and the Heralds, both religious organizations appearing in Silent Hill: Ascension.
Theology[]
Despite being known primarily as the Purifier, Radcliffe's forbidden journal reveals that the deity in reality has a variety of names and interpretations. In the beliefs of the Foundation, the deity is interpreted as a benevolent being intent on cleansing the world of blight.
In contrast, the Heralds describe the Great Empath as a “majestic but terrible” being[1], who will free mankind from its anguish.
Theophany[]
In Radcliffe, chapter seven, one of the Foundation's sacred documents, the Purifier is described as "cloaked in roots and vines".[2]
Trivia[]
- The creature known as the Entangler was speculated to be the Purifier by members of the Foundation, because it resembled the description in Radcliffe, chapter seven.
