Holloway Family

The Holloway Family is one of the four founding families of Shepherd's Glen in the Silent Hill game series. Their duty is to act as "Keepers of Lore," upholding a pact with the Order, a cult, and their god. This pact requires the Holloway family to sacrifice one of their children by strangulation every fifty years. Margaret Holloway, a member of this family, is one of the main antagonists in Silent Hill: Homecoming. She brutally murdered her own daughter, Nora, to fulfill this pact. When the Shepherd family failed to make their sacrifice, Margaret saw it as a breach of the pact, causing a curse upon Shepherd's Glen. To save the town, she revived the Order and began kidnapping residents, attempting to force them into the cult through brainwashing or torture and murder. The Holloway family's emblem is a bird resting on a scale, which relates to Margaret's position as a judge in town.
