[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyle_hyde_2_7063.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:192:Kyle as he appears in Last Window]]

Fired from Red Crown and facing eviction in two weeks due to Cape West Apartments' sale, the ex-detective's fortunes look particularly dim when a mysterious order sheet arrives requesting him to search for the "Scarlet Star", which disappeared in the building 25 years ago. Lives in room 202.
----
* CaptainObvious: When examining items, he often does this, sometimes on purpose.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: In addition to what was revealed in the last game, his childhood was also quite shitty. His father Chris was murdered as he was about to finish his last safecracking job, and the nine-year-old Kyle had to leave Los Angeles with his mother Jeanie to start a new life in New York.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* FirstPersonSmartass
* TheGrinch: A mild version, due to [[FreudianExcuse an overdose of Christmas cheer shortly after his father's death]]. He at least has the decency to not let it ruin the holiday for others.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: A bit apathetic, but quite patient and willing to help everyone for their wellbeing than himself.
* LazyBum: Slacking off once too often on jobs that disinterest him is what gets him fired.
%%* ParrotExposition
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: This is his response to a few other people referring to Mila as his girlfriend.
* ThroughHisStomach: Not a straight example, but the shortest and surest way to get in Kyle's good graces is to fix him a good meal or drink.
* TookALevelInKindness: He's somewhat mellower and not as snarky as he was in ''Hotel Dusk''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mila Evans]]
The young mute woman whom Kyle met in Hotel Dusk, Mila has now returned to normal life and is currently attending art school out of state.
----
* DemotedToExtra: She only arrives to spend some time with Kyle on Christmas Eve before she has to go back to art school, and doesn't have much plot significance otherwise.
* NiceGirl: She's willing to keep Kyle's sketch of her regardless of his terrible skills at it.
* TeenGenius: Managed to get into an art school even though she went into a coma at the age of nine for a decade and has only been out of it for one year.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: She's quite optimistic, cheerful, innocent and outgoing compared to herself last year.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ed Vincent]]
Finally tired of Kyle's attitude, Ed fires him from Red Crown at the beginning of the game, but still keeps contact from time to time.
----
* TheFaceless: His eyes are never shown ingame, though you can see what his looks like in the character directory.
* GuiltInducedNightmare: He ends up having a dream of Kyle lying dead on the road a few days after firing him. It's enough to convince Ed to give Kyle a second chance.
* TookALevelInJerkass: He's a bit more irritable and grumpy towards Kyle this time, though it's {{justified|Trope}} due to being annoyed at him for skiving off work one too many times.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Albeit with a phone instead of the internet, it is 1980.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rachel]]
Ed's secretary and a friend of Kyle's.
----
* LoveInterest: She may or may not be this to Kyle. Kyle doesn't seem to mind her constant flirting and they do mention having a dinner together on Christmas Eve in the NewGamePlus.
%%* SassySecretary
%%* SexySecretary
%%* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection

!!Last Window Characters

[[folder:Margaret Patrice]]
The owner of the Cape West apartments and Kyle's landlady. She thinks highly of herself and is always dressed to impress. She has her own highly opulent living quarters in the apartments. Less likely to toss you out of the apartments than Dunning would the hotel, but it's still not a good idea to make her mad.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: [[spoiler: She knew from the start George Patrice was a horrible man, but fell for him regardless. Their marriage didn't work out in the end.]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler: The one crime she committed in the past was not snitching her husband's shady activities, because she couldn't bring herself to do that to the love of her life. [[MyGreatestFailure It's been haunting her ever since]].]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:In the sense that she's the game's main antagonist, but she's far from being villainous. Her husband was definitely a bastard though, but he's long dead, and Margaret doesn't want his secrets to come to light.]]
%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DontYouDarePityMe: [[spoiler:"I've stood on my own this far, Mr. Hyde. I don't intend to stop now."]]
* GameOverMan: Most game overs culminate in you being evicted by Margaret.

A woman who lives by herself at Cape West after her husband and brother died in separate car accidents. Lives in room 206.

* ContrivedCoincidence: [[spoiler:Her brother and husband both died in near-identical car accidents that left her as the sole beneficiary of their insurance policies, which is what drove the insurance company to hire Rex Foster to investigate her.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Although you save her in the game's most frustrating puzzle.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Rex Foster]]
A mysterious man who shows up at Cape West after Kyle begins investigating. Seems to know Marie and Kyle, though Kyle doesn't know him.
----
* {{Determinator}}: Self-admitted as one.
* IntrepidReporter: Used to work in a magazine, [[spoiler:but left once his best friend was killed by Nile]]. He now investigates insurance claims.
* {{Jerkass}}: Let's see. Being rude and hostile to Kyle, stalking Marie non-stop by placing wiring bugs inside the apartment and pretending to love Betty so that he can find out more about Marie.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:He's definitely a good guy by the end of the game who's willing to help Marie escape from Nile's string so he could sabotage Nile for good.]]
* TheRival: He is one for Kyle, but mostly at the start of the game.
[[/folder]]

* ClearTheirName: Marie accuses him of stealing a ring from her [[spoiler:due to his past criminal record]], though it turns out she merely misplaced it. Fortunately, Kyle finds the ring and manages to smooth things out between them.

* DubNameChange: Was Steve in the Japanese version.
* {{Expy}}: Of Louis from the previous game.
* HairTriggerTemper: He's fairly quick to anger; several of the {{Game Over}}s gotten by angering him end with him punching out Kyle. [[spoiler:This is also the reason for his criminal record, as he attacked a manager that screwed him over and someone that assaulted a fan of his.]]

* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:Blames himself for his wife leaving him.]]
[[/folder]]

Also manages to point a gun at Kyle, doing the same as the game's other Climax Boss.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Sorta. He does manage to escape from any sort of in-game punishment, but is now on the run from Nile with his fate unknown]].
* TheMole: [[spoiler:He was sent by Condor to keep an eye on Cape West Apartments since its re-opening, due to it previously being the location of Condor's headquarters. This is the reason why he's always asking questions.]]
* NosyNeighbor: To stalkerish levels. The other residents find it creepy.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: He may act like an eccentric (if nosy) handyman obsessed with crystals and detective shows, [[spoiler:but he's actually a spy for Condor.]]
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Ultimately decides to make a run for it once his cover is blown.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Dylan's true identity and allegiance is one of the game's bigger {{Plot Twist}}s.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Implied by Kyle in regards to what Nile would do to an exposed underling. Dylan is briefly unconvinced, but quickly realizes that Kyle has a point, despite working for Nile itself.]]

----
* ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:He is the one responsible for kickstarting the game's main plot, with his phone calls and letters being major driving forces for the story until his confrontation, where he even gets to hold Kyle at gunpoint.]]
* {{Foil}}: Will White is in many ways an antithesis of Kyle, which he lampshades with a NotSoDifferentRemark. Both are salesmen, but Will is much better at charming people (the official website describes him as a "gentlemanly smooth-talker"). Also, like Kyle, Will asks a lot of questions, he pries around in other people's private business and [[spoiler:has a dead parent]]. The main difference between them, however, is that [[spoiler:while Kyle let his father's murder go until the anonymous order letter arrived, Will is motivated by his burning desire for {{revenge}} on Margaret for her late husband's role in his mother's murder.]]
%%* {{Jerkass}}: [[spoiler:Once you figure out what his job is.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:After Kyle confronts him, he decides to let go of his revenge for the time being due to the danger of Nile's influence, and leaves to never be seen again.]]
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:His mother is Kathy [=McGrath=], who was killed 13 years ago.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:His real identity directly connects him to some of the game's major background figures]].
[[/folder]]

* PosthumousCharacter: By the time of the game's events, he's been dead for 25 years.
* {{Retirony}}: He was going to retire after doing OneLastJob to spend more time with his family, but was murdered before he could do so.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:George Patrice]]
Margaret's late husband, a jazz-musician-turned-restaurant-entrepreneur.
----
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He's a complete asshole behind his friendly face in the photo with Mags. Not only did he fatally poison his former friend Michael's wife, Kathy, because Michael had enough of selling stolen jewelry for himself and hiding the Scarlet Star, but he was also indirectly responsible for Chris Hyde's death by asking Michael to kill him as the burglar cracked the safe to get the Scarlet Star. Michael then gunned him down in revenge for his wife's death while Mags looked on.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Ended up being shot dead by the man whose wife he had fatally poisoned.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hugh Speck]]
An ex-cop who is being elected for mayor.
----
* ArchEnemy: To Frank Raver, [[spoiler:being the Nile/Condor insider that relegated him from field duty. He could also be considered this to Kyle Hyde himself, as Speck had a direct hand in Chris Hyde's death]].
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Speck and the election only get mentioned here and there throughout the game, but he gains a lot more importance once Condor and Frank Raver become more prominent in the story. Speck was also the main culprit behind the death of Kyle's father, even if he wasn't his direct killer.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:He's a Nile associate that wants to become the state's mayor and is a major figure in Cape West's past, but has no direct involvement in Cape West's present story.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:A mayor candidate and former high-ranking policeman who works as an insider for Nile.]]
