John P. "JP" Sater is a character from Silent Hill: Downpour and a former tour guide of Devil's Pit.

At some point of his career as a tour guide, he was responsible for an accident involving one of the attractions which caused the death of eight children. His job consisted of driving the mine's underground train which transported passengers from Devil's Pit to Hillside as well as telling the history of the Devil's Pit, and was a favorite attraction among the children.

Murphy Pendleton can find the details about the accident in an article, which can be found by venturing through the underground mines. This article outlines Sater's tragic past. While driving the mine train one day, he was heavily intoxicated, and due to his negligence, the train derailed, resulting in the deaths of the eight children aboard.

After the tragic accident, Sater attempted to clear his name, but faced heavy judgement from other civilians and lost his job. He felt pressured, and that he was living inside of a lie publicized by the media, and that, "Those newspaper men are god damned fucking liars!" He was so traumatized by the event that it continued to haunt him, which eventually drove him to suicide in Murphy's presence.
