Michael Davies

Michael was a teenage boy who transformed into a thin, pale creature after being possessed by an unnamed demon and locked within a basement for three months. He broke free of his chains during an exorcism session and scurried off into the outskirts of Sterling, Connecticut, decimating anything that comes in his path. He particularly holds a disdain towards people who dress like priests because his captor, Father Garcia, looks like one, which proves to be a problem for our protagonist, John Ward, because he's dressed like one for an entirely different reason. We only know how Michael normally looked based off of one polaroid photo. Although the series never directly mentions how old he was, despite physically looking like a young teenager, Airdorf stated in the FAITH Fan Community Discord that Michael was between fifteen and seventeen years old. He had dark, bushy hair. It's best to assume that he was at least 6"0 prior to his possession because it's unlikely anyone would've become taller due to being chained over a prolonged period of time and he's slightly taller than John Ward, who's confirmed to be 6"2 from a psychiatric note found in Chapter III.

In a polaroid photo titled "2 Weeks", Michael's hair was thinning, his eyes were a bright red color, and his teeth became sharp & jagged. His pose suggests he was sluggish at the time the photo was taken.

In another polaroid photo titled "3 Months", Michael is completely unrecognizable. He had become hairless, his eyes were larger, and had an unnaturally wide, ghoulish red smile. Blood profusely seeps from his eyes and mouth, causing him to become anemic with such blood loss. His limbs are constitutively bent due to contracting Rickets, a disease that occurred due to being restrained in a dark room for months with no sunlight. Once he broke out of his chains, he begins to rapidly crawl on all fours even though he's capable of running; his movements almost making him appear like a four-legged spider. Judging by the report from a Sterling local, he had an unnaturally pale color to his skin. Even though he appears sickly, he boasts incredible strength and is capable of overpowering anybody. It's unclear what kind of person Michael was before his possession. After not only being possessed by a demon, but being trapped under Father Garcia's care, Michael transformed into a savage creature that took joy in killing and devouring the flesh of humans and animals alike. He had a habit of mocking his enemies who look like priests by quoting biblical verses and referencing the Bible. Michael tends to use profanity in Spanish, but it's not clear if he already knew the language or picked up on it from Father Garcia as a way of mocking him.

Despite his wavering wide smile, secret animation in Chapter I reveals that he's in constant pain. His demon controls the majority of his actions, but occasionally, he shakes his head in pain and crawls solemnly. They're the only time he ever stops smiling.

What's very important to point out is that in the polaroid photo "1 Day", Michael looks completely normal and only grins at the camera. This, among other matters, can cause a debate whether or not he was ever possessed. It could be assumed that his parents misinterpreted normal behavior (or even mental illnesses) as possession. But, as we'll see soon, there's only one minute detail during a flashback sequence that truly shows Michael was possessed.
