10 Most Deranged Video Game Psychopaths

4. Walter Sullivan €“ Silent Hill 4

Walter Sullivan is particularly terrifying as his story really does seem like it could be real €“ we are truly thankful that any easily impressionable copycat serial killers haven't tried to replicate his actions.

Like many psychopaths, Walter€™s childhood was no bed of roses. His father was abusive and his parents abandoned him at a very young age leaving him to be adopted by a cult and believe the apartment room he was abandoned in was his mother. Under the teachings of the cult, Walter believed if he carried out a ritual called the 21 Sacraments he would release God and paradise upon Earth. In order to do this he had to murder 21 people. Walter began his spree by killing 10 people and in each case he removed their hearts and carved a specific number relating to their position within the 21 people he intended to kill.

This is where the story gets even weirder. The police then claimed to have captured Sullivan, who proceeded to commit suicide. However, the murders continued. Depending on which way you want to look at the games narrative you can either believe that the man who committed suicide was not actually or Sullivan or that this led to him turning into a murderous ghost.

Though his overarching goal was supposedly to release paradise, Sullivan's disdain for human life was shocking. He wasn€™t picky about how he killed his victims €“ shot, drowned, bludgeoned to death, hit with an axe, set on fire; it didn€™t matter as long as they were dead. Walter Sullivan was a true, terrifying video game psychopath.
