Thomas Orosco is a character mentioned in Silent Hill 2 as the father of Angela Orosco and her brother, and husband of Mrs. Orosco. He was murdered by his daughter for his abusive ways.


Biography[]

Thomas Orosco had a long history of violence and alcohol abuse. He physically and sexually abused Angela throughout her entire life, and possibly his wife and son as well. Angela began to resent and hate her father and felt that she could never forgive him for his actions.

Far from innocent, Mrs. Orosco was aware of the abuse and told Angela that she deserved such treatment. It is unknown if these were Mrs. Orosco's true feelings or something Thomas pressured her into saying. It is implied that Angela's brother, influenced by their father, also abused his sister, the combined trauma of which eventually drove her to kill them both.

After Angela finished high school, she ran away from home in an effort to escape her abusive life, but was found and forcibly brought back by her father (which is illegal if someone is 18 or older).

A newspaper article found in the labyrinth reveals that Thomas was murdered around midnight. Angela achieved this by stabbing him multiple times in his neck and the left side of his torso in a fit of rage with a knife. There was evidence of a struggle in the room, implying that Thomas fought for his life, but was overwhelmed by his daughter. She did not hide her father's corpse and fled the house. Police eventually found his body, and since there was no evidence of a robbery (cash having been left behind), they opened a murder investigation.

Silent Hill 2[]

When James Sunderland first meets Angela at a graveyard on his way to Silent Hill, she tells him that she's looking for her mother and that she thought her father and brother would be there as well; however, Angela had murdered her father and brother prior the events of the game. This is similar to James, who tells her that he is looking for his wife, despite her being dead. It can be assumed that Angela either lied to James or repressed the memory of her murders.

Before James meets Angela again, he sees a photo left in Room 109 of Blue Creek Apartments which shows a mother, daughter, father, and son, in that order. The photo is torn in half between the father and daughter; this could have been done by Angela, showing that the abuse began when she was young. It is possible that the pictured man is Thomas. In the creased photo, the father appears to look young himself, wearing a checkered shirt. He has what looks to be a five o'clock shadow and short brown hair, while his eye color is not clear.

In the Labyrinth, Thomas is symbolized by a monster known as Abstract Daddy.

In Lakeview Hotel's burning staircase, there are two bodies on the walls that are covered by sheets resembling human skin and stained in their genital areas with dried blood, with obvious castration wounds. These represent Angela's father and brother, affirmed in the novelization in which James describes them as a "middle-aged man" and "younger man", and confirmed by Masahiro Ito.[1]
