Personality: Murphy is a man that rides the middle line of morality. He's a gray area person, possibly aligning as a 'chaotic good', freeing birds trapped in cages and scattering the ashes of the dead in their favorite place for them, while also not being above attempting to kill people who have wronged him and hijacking a car to get into jail to do so. He won't harm anyone that doesn't deserve it, has a big heart for kids and is innately a father, but he wants to survive and he won't hold back when it comes to his own life. With a criminal past contrasting a mild and happy family life, it's hard to judge Murphy as entirely good or bad. But, he is someone that clearly wants a quiet and happy life, now that his attempt at revenge has left him without gain.

Murphy is rather soft-spoken and mild-mannered, as his wiki entry mentions, not really getting worked up unless he has something to be angry about. He's rational and had a clean mental evaluation, something which most visitors to Silent Hill can't attest. He always goes for talk first with humans, despite the urgency of his situation, and on numerous occasions, the option presented for the player has him going out of his way to help those that have been uncooperative or even threatening. He tends to try and bring everyone he meets along with him to escape from the Hell he's clearly in.

But, he's not above frustration and often gives into it after several attempts at patience. In a high stress situation like the survival horror scenario that is Silent Hill, his conversations often dissolve into cursing and strong, stern tones from Murphy. He doesn't break out the yelling TOO often, as he does try to cling to as much patience and civility as possible when dealing with the bizarre and cryptic 'residents' of Silent Hill. He will give up on dealing with people eventually, if they're difficult for too long. Even if he has a kind heart, he also has a pretty strong sense of self-preservation and he won't keep trying to reason with someone if it's bound to get him killed or hold him up too long in Silent Hill.
