## Biography

Nate and Jason are the two youngest children of the Martin family. Their overworld sprite color is purple, like Amy's.

### May 3rd, 1980

On this day, Cindy Martin was supposed to give birth to twin boys. However, she suffered a miscarriage. The loss of her boys was too much for her to mentally process this and convinced herself that they're still alive. The miscarriages were supposed to be named Nate and Jason respectively. Bob, her husband, noticed her delusions and contacted a psychologist named Dr. Morris, a long-time friend of his, to help her understand the situation. Although Cindy is making progress, she occasionally relapses and keeps bad habits of creating annual birthday parties and invitations for the twins. She also occasionally draws pictures and labels them as if Nate or Jason drew them. She also decorates their room and keeps childish toys in them as if they're still around.

### Sometime in 1986

Sometime in 86', Bob, Dr. Morris, and his friends were stationed in Nicaragua as missionaries to spread the word of Christianity since there's a civil war going on there. This leaves Cindy and Amy alone in the house. Close to Amy's 17th birthday, Bob ships a doll he received while working as a considerate attempt to be a part of her birthday. Although Amy wasn't too ecstatic and Cindy finds it creepy, this doll acts like a catalyst for upcoming events where Cindy's delusions about the twins worsens.

### May 3rd, 1986

It's the sixth anniversary of the twins' miscarriage. If they were alive, they were supposed to be six years old. Cindy makes another invitation for the twins' birthday. During the (alleged) birthday party, one of her Book Club friends, Nancy, sees "a tall man dressed in dark clothing". She calls Cindy later that night because she was too startled to bring it up to her during the party. Cindy believes that this person was talking to one of the twins outside the party and wonders why she never saw that man. She plans to contact a Sterling sheriff to identify the man and wishes Bob would return soon from his service work.

### May 4th, 1986

To Cindy's eyes, the twins came into the house with blood on their hands. The twins were touching a decimated deer carcass nearby. Although she thinks coyotes were the culprit, she's nonetheless creeped out.

### September of 1986

There's a timeskip between May and September because it doesn't exactly relate to the twins, but sometime between May and September, Amy decided to ignore her parent's wishes and goes to a get-together with Gary, one of the coworkers at a clinic she used to intern. When she returned, Cindy notices that Amy got some kind of condition, making her on the edge.

In September, Cindy feels completely uncomfortable in the house. At this stage, she's at her breaking point and can't stand to be anywhere near Amy. She describes the atmosphere in the house as slanted and warped whenever she gets close to Amy. She also hears voices omitting from the forest at night, so she keeps the twins inside at all times. Cindy wants to contact a doctor about Amy's worsening condition, but she doesn't want to leave the twins alone in the house with Amy. Even if she could, her car keys are missing, and the phone line stops working during the day. Despite all of this, she finds comfort in knowing that Bob returns tomorrow.

Next day, Bob finally returns from Nicaragua and notices that Amy and Cindy are different. Amy is incredibly standoffish and being around her is unsettling; Cindy believes the twins are real more than ever and can't stand to be anywhere near Amy. He also feels some kind of paranormal activity going on in the house.

During one of Cindy's counseling sessions, Dr. Morris picks up that she's mentioning about finding replacements for the twins' souls to inhabit and that they're directly contacting her. Startled, he tries to get Bob's attention on how to handle her because she's starting to relapse more than ever. He also wonders how Cindy learned about "replacements" because it was the same topic they've heard about from one of the locals in Nicaragua.

However, Bob doesn't have time to handle with Cindy's mental issues and focuses entirely on Amy. With no other option, Bob and Cindy decide to contact the Catholic Church to exorcise Amy, believing that she's possessed. The Church hires Father Allred, an experienced priest and exorcist, for the job. Realizing that Amy's demon is powerful, Allred requests an assistant to help him during the rite. So, John Ward gets assigned to the task.

### September 21, 1986

On this day, Father Allred and John drive to the Martin House to exorcise Amy. However, Amy's demon is out of control, and kills Allred, Cindy, and Bob when John got separated. Seeing Amy cut off the lights after she mimics Allred's voice, John prays to return home, swearing to a figure that he knows it'll jeopardize Amy's soul from ever getting cleansed from her demon. With this promise, John was able to leave the house and gets temporarily placed in police custody after officers find the bodies of Allred, Cindy, and Bob, believing he was the one who killed them.

### October of 1986 to September of 1987

Between these eleven months, John and Amy were placed in Yale Psychiatric Institution due to how mentally unwell they were after leaving the house. John was cleared from being the culprit of Allred's, Cindy's, and Bob's deaths, and Amy was charged for it instead. Amy stays behind while John was released on October 31st. While he was in the institution, the Catholic Church tried their hardest to control the public's perception on what happened on that day, where Amy killed her parents due to how controlling they were and Allred for using old church rituals that were supposed to repel evil. To keep things quiet, they denounced John as a priest. All the way until September of 1987, he lived peacefully with his wife, Molly.

On one day in September of 1987, John has a vivid dream where Amy reached out to him to finish what he started on the anniversary of the failed exorcism. Waking up, John dons his old priest outfit and crucifix in preparation for the 21st. On the 12th, Amy escapes from the institution and returns back to the abandoned Martin House, where cultists that were prowling around the forest pinned her and performed the Second Death ritual on her. By the command of Gary, they use the wildlife of the forest as sacrifices to put into Amy's face hole.

### September 21st, 1987

Before leaving, John leaves a goodbye letter to Molly, explaining why he's returning to the Martin House in case if the Catholic Church twists what happened to him if he never returns back. He gets into his car and drives to the Martin House to finish what he started, where Chapter I begins.

Parking nearby Snake Meadow Hill Road, he walks into the forest to find the house. While exploring, he comes across a birthday invitation slip for the twins. Avoiding attacks from a chupacabra, John walks in what seems like a constant loop until he spots twin boys running away. Following them, he comes across the Martin House, where he enters inside after grabbing a key from a shed nearby.

Inside the house, John explores and finds letters left behind by Cindy, where she talked about her time with Amy and the twins. He also spots a drawing by Nate on the fridge. By the time he confronts Amy, he's thoroughly convinced that the twins are real.

Walking some more, he tracks down and tries to exorcise Amy. After a battle, Amy stumbles and her demonic hand retreats into her face. Although it looks like Amy was successfully exorcised, she suddenly jumps out from the attic window. Trying to leave the house to check in on her, he comes across a rifle on the ground. There are words written in blood that try to goat him to shoot her, but he ignores it, and walks back to his car, leaving Amy to bleed out in the forest. Shooting the chupacabra that tries to rush him, John ponders if he's done the right thing and returns home. Meanwhile, Gary and his cultists find Amy almost bleeding out to death. They realize that somebody else was in the house that interfered with their plans, so Gary was able to track down that it was John who did it. For the foreseeable future, Gary and his cult target and watch John secretly to mentally drain him through vivid nightmares.

### September 22nd to September 27th, 1987

Between these two dates, John experiences a nightmare where Chapter II Prologue takes place. After banishing the Cornfield Maze Demon, he walks inside Snake Meadow Hill Church. Unlocking the seal to the basement, he comes across a demon lurking in the darkness. While he's trying to exorcise the demon, he spots multiple things in the corner of his eye, including the twins running away. After banishing it, he walks out of the basement and spots one of the twins running towards the altar. Following the boy, there's thralls seated on benches. John sees the twins eerily standing still, but when he tries to approach them, a nun suddenly appears next to them and shouts, "HERE I AM". Before John wakes up from the nightmare, she says, "My little one."

### September 28th, 1987

On this day, John experiences his worst nightmare yet, where the majority of Chapter II takes place. In Gallup Cemetery, he finds an obituary about Cindy and Bob after exorcising a tombstone. In it, the obituary mentions that Nate, Jason, and Amy survived the aftermath of the accident.

Exploring the Candy Tunnels, he comes across the Basement Demon again. Like before, he occasionally spots the twins running in the darkness. Banishing it, John follows a thrall and teleports into Malphas' House.

Before coming across the nun, Miriam, he spots the twins running in the darkness again while warding off Blind Ones. Unlocking a door, Miriam suddenly appears and tries to grab John. But, in the nick of time, a gray figure appears and repels her with his crucifix. Teaming up, the two follow after her and a fight ensues. With enough time, Miriam stumbles and screams before her body evaporates into a Red Demon then the UNSPEAKABLE. Seeing the UNSPEAKABLE flash blinding red lights, John wakes up with heavy breathing.

Walking to his front door after reading Molly's departing letter, there's a new letter from somebody named Father Garcia. In it, Garcia explains that they must find Nate and Jason Martin because he (somehow) found evidence that the cult is planning to use them to summon a powerful demon named Malphas. He says that he'll contact him whenever he gets an update on their whereabouts and ends his letter with "We must not let them do what they did to Amy!" An exhausted John gets into his car and drives to an unknown destination. He monologues that his nightmares are getting worse but tries to gain closure with Amy, saying that his work with her is done. He gains confidence to press on by stopping the cult from summoning Malphas and finding the Martin Twins. He pleads for God's mercy before driving away, knowing that whatever he will come across will be his biggest test in faith yet.

### October 28th, 1987

A month has passed, and John wakes up from a recurring nightmare where he relives his first exorcism with Amy. Rereading Father Garcia's and Molly's letter from a month earlier, he goes to his front door to check if he's got any new updates and reads a new letter from Garcia. In the letter, Garcia tells him that he could not find the twins in the state foster care system but instructs him to investigate a clinic Amy used to work at in hopes of finding where the cult intend to summon Malphas. John gears up and drives to the clinic.

Parked outside and before heading inside, there's morse code on a wall that translates to "NO BOYS". This writing is likely an easter egg and it's not implied John knows the language, but it gives a major clue that the twins never existed because, before near the end of Chapter III, there wasn't any evidence that the twins were miscarried/not real.

After killing a creature with help from a police officer, the cop pursuits thralls that are burning his car and John returns back inside. Getting back on a gurney and waiting among corpses for a while, one of them sits up and moves mystically before shoving him towards a locked door, which sends John tumbling down the staircase. Getting up, John follows the sound of a baby crying to a room with a woman standing in the darkness. Walking closer, it's revealed that she's cradling a baby.

John tries to ask she's seen Nate and Jason, but she responds that they belong to Gary. John tries to ask who Gary is, but she turns her head and reveals her skeletal face, replying that he's just a human being like her and him. Freaked out, John tries to politely leave but the woman stops him and tells him her babies haven't eaten in days. John banishes this woman and her babies and returns back home, finding no evidence of Malphas or the boys' location.

### October 29th, 1987

John experiences another nightmare and wakes up. He reads a new letter from Father Garcia who instructs him to investigate an apartment complex in New Haven to see if Malphas would be summoned there. John also gets letters from Lisa, a childhood friend, who needs his help from her creepy neighbors. John drives to the apartment complex.

Saving Lisa from Alu's clutches and defeating Tiffany in the Unseen World, John wasn't able to locate the twins or where Malphas might be summoned, so he heads home.

### October 30th, 1987

John once again experiences another nightmare. While he was looking for Amy in the nightmare, he can enter every room except the twins' room, saying "I don't remember anything further." Waking up, John finds a new letter from Father Garcia, telling him to investigate a daycare center on 4th Street since he's getting reports of children exhibiting strange behavior. This time, he sternly believes that if the twins are there than that's where Malphas will be summoned. John parks nearby, avoids police officers stationed outside, and goes inside a locked basement, leading into Garyland.

Waking up from a hallucination trip and unlocking a seal in the Nowhere Forest, John enters a door with an eye on it. Inside, there's thralls standing idly that slowly transforms into unrecognizable flesh. Gary indirectly talks to him through poems before the thralls disappear. Walking upward, John catches a glimpse of the twins holding hands together before his eyes start to bleed. Catching his breath, John opens his eyes and turns around to face Gary.

### October 31st, 1987

After a flashback where he made a promise with a figure, Gary grants John three questions since he's come this far. With many other options, John asks about the twins. Gary's face distorts and chuckles at him, saying that he knew deep down the twins were illusions, that he couldn't resist chasing after lost/hurt souls. Gary supposes that he wished they were real like Mrs. Martin. This disillusionment was the reason why he knew John would come to him. This is the last time the twins were mentioned.

Although John always had an inkling that the twins were not real, this revelation was still devastating for him since his entire journey up to that point was pointless. This wild goose chase would ultimately lead up to Gary meeting John, where he can pin him and perform the Second Death ritual on him, which is his other goal if Amy never woken up from her coma. Gary also reveals that Malphas was already summoned somewhere offscreen, further proving that prevailing was useless.

Regardless, John defeats Gary and his Unholy Trinity and gains a new purpose in life by either fighting demons with Father Garcia or starting a new life with Lisa.

### October 31, 1987 (Ending III: A New Vessel)

On this alternate date, John decided not to investigate the Daycare Center on the 30th and just stayed home. After a nightmare, John wakes up and finds that his entire neighborhood is being overrun by thralls. Deciding to look into a room covered in crucifixes one more time, he narrowly avoids getting eaten by a demonic centipede in his basement and grabs a key. He unlocks the room, revealing Amy standing motionless in the middle of the room among filing cabinets, wearing the same outfit she had back in 86'. John kneels in front of her and asks what they (the thralls) want from him and why she's tormenting him. He doesn't know how she ended up in the room. Before asking for his nightmare to end, Amy's mouth opens and a demonic hand grabs his face, shouting "UNFORGIVABLE".

John is seemingly teleported in The Forest nearby the Martin House. Catching a glimpse of Michael scurrying away, he enters inside the dilapidated house.

Walking into each room, he monologues how guilty he is over failing Amy and her parents. Going inside the twin's room, there's two broken mannequins nearby a graffiti of an eye. He kneels in front of them, emotionally defeated, and yields to them by throwing up his arms. Suddenly, Michael and Amy (with her red, gaping hole) appear and holds his hands steady. As the room, mannequins, and the two disappear, John keeps his arms up as a giant demonic hand grabs him. Shrouding into the darkness, the hand and the entire house disappears, where the game ends.

John never realizes that it was never his fault for the twins' miscarriage, or even proper confirmation that they even existed from Gary. With this ending, and the ending's title "A New Vessel", it's implied that he submitted to the cult to be a vessel for the UNSPEAKABLE to possess his body; almost similar to the bad ending of Chapter II. In this ending, he submits to guilt, and in Chapter II, he submits to his evil urges.

## Trivia

* The fact that the twins were miscarried implies that they died in Cindy's womb before May 3rd, since miscarriages can happen before the 24th week of pregnancy. It would have been more accurate to describe them as stillborns since the babies could've died after the 24th week or while they were being delivered.
	+ For brevity's sake, we're going to keep their death date as May 3rd, 1980, because the words "miscarriage" and "stillborn" are used interchangeably. Although it could have given foresight that Cindy was planning on their intended birthdate, you can't exactly dictate what day in a month they'll be born. The likely intention was that Cindy was delivering and her babies died.
* The twins are the only major characters in the series that don't say anything.
	+ This could have been applied to the UNSPEAKABLE but it's heavily implied that the demonic writing in a newspaper article in Chapter II (and the Red Demon's speech in the teaser trailer for Chapter II) is from this entity.
	+ Besides, the UNSPEAKABLE makes animalistic wailing during John's hallucinations. The twins don't make any noise, just like the Red Demon and the Skeletal Figure.
* One major difference between The Unholy Trinity's version of Chapter I and the standalone version of Chapter I is that we can see the twins running in The Forest to direct John towards the Martin House.
* There seems to be strange ties between the doll and Cindy's increasing delusions. Her dead body is seen directly underneath the doll and while John explores the basement in Chapter I. the doll seemingly fades in and fades out near a baby cradle. Check the doll's wiki page for some theories.
* The Martin Twins and the Doomed Child are not to be confused as the same people. Since the twins never existed, there's no way any of them could've been involved in the incidents at Snake Meadow Hill Church.
	+ Since the twins are spotted first in Chapter I, the Doomed Child reuses their standing and running sprites in Chapter II.
* Currently we have no idea how Garcia learned who the Twins, Amy, and what happened to her. He seems to have some connection with authorities since he has access to the state foster care system. At least back in the 80s, the system isn't publicly available.
	+ Overall, Garcia is vague and a stranger to John. Although we, the player, know about what Garcia dealt with Michael, John doesn't know this. Until near the end part of Chapter III, John has never seen Garcia face-to-face and blindly trusts what someone is saying in letters.
* Since the twins never existed, the drawing on the fridge labelled by Nate is implied that Cindy drew the picture during one of her many delusions before she was killed.
* The reason why the obituary states that Jason and Nate are survived by their parents in Chapter II could be because everything experienced in John's nightmare are influenced by him. He still thinks that the twins are still alive, so it's mentioned in the obituary. We can't credibly discern whatever we see in his nightmares as fact since there's a drawing of Snake Meadow Hill Church labelled by Amy during a flashback of the first failed exorcism. Amy was born sometime in 1969, so there's no way she would know about the incidents at that church.
* Gary refers to the twins as lost souls probably because the whole family is involved in some kind of demonic activity (Bob finds a cursed doll while working as a missionary, Cindy is delusional and sees/draws demonic figures, Amy is possessed.) that they never wanted to be a part of. This demonic influence on the family might've prevented them from moving on to Heaven. He also calls them as hurt souls since they never had the chance to grow-up from childhood to adulthood.
* The filenames for the two mannequins are called "boy effigies".
