Mr. and Mrs. Davies

**Mr. and Mrs. Davies** are the parents of Michael Davies, only mentioned in a note in FAITH: Chapter II.

## Biography

Background behind Michael's parents are a mystery.

### Sometime before September 20th, 1987

One day, Michael was afflicted with something. Michael's parents believed he was possessed by a demon, so they contacted the Roman Catholic Church for somebody to exorcise him. Cardinal Gifford hired Father Garcia to handle Michael's case and took him under his possession.

Michael has been restrained underneath Garcia's apartment room for an unknown amount of time, to the point where his parents were concerned about their son. They desperately wanted Michael to be taken away from Garcia, so they contacted Cardinal Gifford for him to be returned. Cardinal Gifford sends a letter to Father Garcia to return Michael to his parents and go back to Rome, implying that he will face consequences for keeping Michael away. Father Garcia tries to convince Cardinal Gifford that Michael's affliction is improving but he can't return Michael to his parents just yet. Father Garcia takes a photo of Michael during one of the exorcism sessions and tries to include it in his letter but it's missing. It's unknown if Gifford and the parents saw Michael's deteriorating state.

During one of many exorcism sessions, Michael tries to get under Garcia's skin saying that his parents will kill him if they ever saw what Garcia did to him. Garcia ignores this and continues the exorcism, but Michael was able to break off his chains and escape Garcia's apartment room. Michael partially eats a bystander and jumps out of a window, escaping somewhere in Sterling. Father Garcia attempts to chase after Michael to restrain him and perform the exorcism again, knowing how deadly Michael can be.

### September 20th, 1987

A day before John decides to return to the Martin House, an owner of a laundromat, Cherise Wan, spots a naked white man running on the side of Snake Meadow Hill Road. Wan thinks it's not an animal because it had the face of a human. She calls the police about it, but nothing comes out of that.

### September 21st, 1987

Wan reported the sighting to the local newspaper. Although this is speculation, this might explain why Father Garcia (if we think the gray figure and Garcia are the same person) is seen in Chapter I. He probably saw the newspaper and realized that Michael might be somewhere along Snake Meadow Hill Road. Either way, Chapter I ends with Michael getting ran over by a truck when John shoots him. It's unknown whether the parents knew about the fate of their son or not, since they and Cardinal Gifford aren't mentioned after this.

## Trivia

* It's never explicitly stated if Michael was truly possessed or was suffering from some kind of mental issue before Father Garcia was assigned to take care of him, because the first day of starting Michael's exorcism he looked normal.
	+ The series overall leaves Michael's affliction ambiguous, where both his parents and Garcia might be at fault for making Michael what he was before getting killed in Chapter I. (But look at the theories section for Michael that he really was possessed, and that Garcia made his condition worse).
