samael is the dark angel {lucifer in all probability, going by judaistic influences} who is worshipped as a god by the cult in the town, dahlia summons him in silen hill one but due to harry mason's actions, he is turned into two children, one of whom is killed and the other one is taken as an adoptive daughter by harry mason and becomes the titular character of silent hill 3. samael's power is second perhaps only to the power of the highest angel, metatron{who resides inside the amulet that harry posesses and later gives to his adoptive daughter. the conflict between these two angels is what makes silent hill supernatural. each has their own domain in the town and depending on the deeds/souls/hearts of people, they eneter into either dark silent hill{made so by samael} or light silent hill{made by metatron}, its not only two choices, its more of a spectrum. samael is basically the dark angel.
nonsensei, the only people whove survived silent hill based on POWER {and not even that, exclusively} is probably only heather, and she was HALF of alessa and had samael inside her, as well as metatron's amulet. that isnt a level of power any1 in halo can say they posess. none of the titular characters in silent hill are anything but average people with no training and fighting skill. the point is, escaping silent hill doesnt DEPEND on strength or skill or weapons{seeing as the weapons the get are also PART of dark silent hill to begin with}, its only their emotional struggle and facing upto their demons and sins, amd murder/killing is a huge sin, and chief does it without thinking twice. his strength wont awail him in the least.
btw, heres a nice article on alessa/samael/heather/metatron
