*'''God/Samael''' -  The female solar deity worshiped by the Silent Hill cult. According to their dogma, God was born from two humans, who offered their prayers to the sun, and brought an end to the suffering of ancient man by taking away eternal life from humankind. She created many gods (including Xuchilbara and Lobsel Vith) and angels to help lead people to her. Then, she set out to create "Paradise" for people, but her strength ran out and eventually it caused her death. However, she promised to return again one day. The Order's "God" is actually a demon, and the "Paradise" it seeks to create is the destruction of all human life. It is implied that it is a fallen angel which rebelled against the [[Abrahamic God]] at the beginning of time.

In ''Silent Hill 1'', Dahlia offers her own daughter, Alessa, as a sacrifice to impregnate her with the Order's God. The God is forced out prematurely by Kaufmann and takes on a hideous demonic form. Harry slays the malevolent deity soon thereafter. Claudia Wolf tried to get Heather to remember her "true self" in order to birth God in ''Silent Hill 3''. Claudia's idea was to have God born and usher in Paradise. The role of '''Mother of God''' was shifted when Heather exorcised the deity by vomiting the fetus up, which Claudia then swallowed, resulting in her demise. Because Claudia gave birth to the God it takes a similar appearance to that of Alessa, the form of God that she believed in.<ref>http://silenthillchronicle.net/creat3.htm</ref> Due to its state of birth the lower half of its body remains immature. It has been further explained that the appearance of the God changes depending on the person who summons it and can be considered equal to the other monsters. <ref>http://silenthillchronicle.net/lostmemories.txt</ref> Likewise the cause may be attributed to the town's power to manifest delusions.
