Leland Coyle

Leland Coyle acts much like an exceptionally cruel police officer. He is very brutal in his chase and will not hesitate to throw insults and sexual comments at his victims. , Coyle is also extremely bigoted and patriotic in his beliefs. He is often found ranting about ideologies differing from his traditionalist roots, such as Communism, ruining his ideal vision of America.

Befitting his weapon of choice, an electrified cattle prod/baton, Coyle has a fascination for electricity. While under Murkoff surveillance, he was observed standing in a field in the middle of a lightning storm five times. He is also shown to be sexually aroused by electricity, pressing his own 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.

Prior to Project LATHE, he kept excessively complete notes. Coyle considered himself vital to history and of great interest to posterity, suggesting the possibility of him struggling with narcissistic personality disorder. This disposition can, however, slip into sheer paranoia, especially when he contemplates what would happen to him if he were caught slipping. He very much projects his own cruelty onto those he spites/

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 an evidently 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.
