It is my life's/wiki mission to constantly omit Samael as the God of Silent Hill on Samael's respected page and other Silent Hill pages. For some reason it seems to be a never ending task, due to popular fan opinion and theories.

Etymology of my name
My screen name is from a ficticious god in a cult in the video game series Silent Hill. A series that features alot in Theology, Demonology, Angelology Kabbalah, Shintoism, Christianity, Satanism, Judaism, and etc pagan religions. It's considered psychological horror and incorporates diffrent elements of that. It really touches on religion and is a series of games that questions and examines various inherit extreme religious beliefs and concepts.

The Etymology of the name is the corrupt spelling form of the Aztec word Xochi, Xuchil (Xochitl) meaning flower and the Japanese word bara (bah-rah) meaning 'rose'. (Alt. Xuchilpaba) Xuchilbara thus may relate to the Aztec Xochiquetzal and her twin Xochipilli. It has also been suggested that Xuchilbara may also relate to the mythical Mayan underword Xibalba, as the concept for the entire town of Silent Hill itself, is taken off that particular legend.

Xuchilbara is a god of the otherworld, spirit of the mist, and is associated with judgement, death, and ressurection of the dead. In SH2 Xu takes full credit in the form of a book titled "Crimson Ceremony" for the judgement upon the progtaginist of the story James Sunderland and his bizarre experiences, delusions, and his ultimate punishment for his sins. In the same book, details the ceremony to ressurect the dead. Using ritual objects obtained:

Another intresting thing discovered more recently by fans of the series is that Xuchilbara may in fact be the angel Metatron. This is suggested by the fact that the Seal of Metatron spells a corrupt form of Xuchilbara's name. The game designers noted that the cult's angel the Valtiel and Metatron are both considered "Angels of God" in game and the Valtiel appears with the Seal of Metatron tattoo on both of it's shoulders in red. The Valtiel's functions include rebirthing the protaginist, Heather, in the 3rd game, and indeed in certin scenes post death, Valtiel can be seen carrying her off to rebirth her, a similar function Xu is said to have. Furthering Xuchilbara's connection to Valtiel and Metatron. It is also said in a memo in SH3 that God was given various angelic names by believers and demonic ones by opposers. This could very well correlate to the other deities at hand, Xuchilbara the red god and Lobsel Vith the yellow god, respectfully.
