Sergeant Leland Coyle

Sergeant Leland Coyle is a Prime Asset He is a corrupt and delusional police officer obsessed with maintaining his own distorted notion of the law, who enjoys electrocuting and sexually assaulting people with his shock baton.

Leland Coyle behaves akin to an exceptionally cruel police officer, exhibiting extreme brutality in his pursuits and showing no reluctance in hurling insults and making sexual remarks and threats at his victims. He often takes pleasure in tormenting individuals who are disadvantaged or unable to defend themselves.Coyle is deeply bigoted and patriotic in his convictions. He frequently indulges in ranting about ideologies that differ from his traditionalist beliefs, such as Communism, which he believes undermines his ideal vision of America, and he regularly expresses racist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic views.

Aligned with his weapon of choice, an electrified cattle prod/baton, Coyle holds a fascination for electricity. During surveillance conducted by Murkoff, he was observed standing in a field amidst a lightning storm on five occasions. He is also shown to be sexually aroused by electricity, pressing his weapon to his groin or bare hand out of pleasure, and many of the mannequins and corpses seem to have been sexually assaulted with his weapon or electric wires.

He has been shown in both Trials and Documents to be incredibly rash and will not hesitate to resort to physical violence such as when he attacked an Ex-Pop trying to avoid him. He happens to have his own view in laws, even if it's technically wrong as he thinks the true laws are the one that fits his ideology. This can be shown during his interruption of the "lawyers" in Vindicate the Guilty and his belief that anyone on trial is a criminal regardless of the court's decision.

Prior to Project LATHE, he maintained excessively detailed notes, considering himself an indispensable figure in history and believing himself to be of significant interest to future generations, indicating a possible struggle with narcissistic personality disorder. However, this disposition sometimes veers into sheer paranoia, particularly when contemplating the consequences of being caught off guard. He frequently projects his cruelty onto those he harbors resentment towards. It can be assumed that even after abduction Leland Coyle still holds some sense of awareness to outside world events, though this is somewhat skeptical from his remarks on events that are years before the events of Outlast Trials.

He was an extremely popular and well-liked person on the job as well as privately. He very much enjoyed being social as both a member of the Elk Club and VFW, having a high standing in both. Coyle being evidently a power-obsessed person and considering the speed at which he rose the ranks to Sergeant, it can be speculated that he actively made efforts to curry favors with those around him to further his own social standing and influence. Money also played a big role for him in that regard, as he actively extorted his in-laws and took bribes, furthering his social standing and lifestyle even more to cement his position of power in society.

Though he frequently shown interest in women, Coyle had also shown that he enjoyed tormenting men sexually (as evidenced by The Snitch), making sexual remarks about him and shocking his own hand during the interrogation. A number of male mannequins also had burn marks on their thighs, butt and crotch, and they had lost their pants. Regardless of gender, every mannequin in his trials is depicted as being used in a sexual manner; examples include a woman mannequin being shattered into pieces with sperm spilled on it and a scorched male mannequin bent over the table. This suggested that, despite his homophobic beliefs, Coyle might lean more towards bisexuality in terms of his sexual preferences. However, this also could be taken as his form of power abuse and showing his dominance regardless his victims's gender.

Appearance: Leland is a man of average build and tall height, adorned in a "standard" police uniform and hat, along with a police force hat and black sunglasses. Irrespective of average build Leland demonstrates peak-human strength and durability, he is strong enough to lift a full-grown man using one arm. His face is shown to be disfigured, with the right side of his face being blistered and scabbed over, likely due to either electrocution burns or the experiments that Murkoff conducted on him. Coyle's hair is black, shown by his eyebrows and the short, trimmed beard on his face. Between his blistered lips is a constantly burning cigarette, which holds a large number of burned/melted mannequins.

His outfit is a white button-up and red tie covered in a black leather jacket, with his rank shown by two metallic badges on the left of his jacket (one on the breast, the other on the bicep of the sleeve.) The right sleeve of his jacket is covered in tubes or wires that are connected to the car battery in a cross-body wrap. His uniform also includes a navy leather belt with a silver buckle looped through grey work pants covered up to the knees in leather boots.

The Sinyala Facility is the primary setting of The Trials. It was a top-secret government founded corporate facility which was used to experiment on people as part of Project Lathe under the Murkoff Corporation. Locations
