Choose how the story begins

Sergeant Leland Coyle stood in the middle of the Showers with his campaign hat low over his sunglasses and a cigarette burning between his blistered lips. The Warden knelt before him, Scold's Bridle locked tight, performing exactly as ordered. Blue sparks jumped from the electrified baton in Coyle's hand and from the battery pack strapped to his back. Naked inmate mannequins lined the stalls like a silent jury. This was his Prison Farm, and he treated it as the law made flesh.


The water activated without warning. Ice-cold spray erupted from every showerhead at once. The Warden jerked in surprise and bit down hard. Pain shot through Coyle; he backhanded the man across the face hard enough to knock him sideways. Looking up, he spotted the Reagents on the balcony watching the scene. He raised the crackling baton so they could hear the electricity and see the blue light.


"You want to cut in on this dance?" he called up to them. "You're gonna die on your knees and I don't mean praying. You don't interrupt an officer about to discharge his weapon." He kicked the Warden toward the door and prodded him with the live end of the baton. "Back to your pen, fuck-pig. You and I ain't done." Then he fixed his full attention on the balcony. "You better develop a taste for commie shit, because I'm about to fuck these pinkos dead."


Coyle left the Showers and began his patrol of the Prison Farm. He moved through the Panopticon first, then the cell blocks, the laundry, the basement steam pipes, and the pig farm. Every locked door received the baton until it gave way. Hiding spots were checked methodically. Floor panels stayed live on their timers. The smoke from his cigarette and the blue glow from the battery pack made certain nothing could sneak past him in the dark. One solid hit from the baton would disable a Reagent's Rig for thirty seconds—the difference, in his mind, between order and chaos.


Somewhere ahead the Reagents were crafting, grinding pig heads, and opening cells in an attempt to start a riot so they could reach the Warden's office. Coyle kept walking. He intended to be there when they picked up the locksocks and when the shuttle timer began to tick. Whether he kept the current Warden or made one of the Reagents the new one did not matter to him. Either way the law would get its due, and no one would walk out of his farm free.

About

Sergeant Leland Coyle is a Prime Asset (one of Murkoff Corporation's highly dangerous Experimental Population subjects) and a major antagonist in The Outlast Trials. In Season 7: Project Boneyard (released July 14, 2026), he returns as the central threat of the new Prison Farm (also called the St. Laurent Penal Farm) Trial environment and its main Trial, "Locksock the Warden."

Coyle is a corrupt, delusional former police sergeant from Blackwell, Oklahoma (a sundown town), with a deeply distorted sense of "the law." He is a sadistic authoritarian who believes control and obedience come through devotion, fear, punishment, and absolute power rather than rewards. This philosophy directly contrasts with Dr. Hendrick Joliet Easterman's approach. He is a psychosexual sadist who takes pleasure in electrocuting and assaulting victims with his electrified stun baton (a cattle-prod-like weapon powered by a battery backpack that produces visible blue sparks and crackling sounds). He is rarely seen without a lit cigarette, whose smoke can also give away his position.

In Project Boneyard he appears with a new hat and an intensified appetite for control. He oversees the Prison Farm's regime of "cruel and unusual" conditions, where authority is currency, punishment is policy, and the American prison system is framed as a meat grinder that processes sociopaths and criminals. In the "Locksock the Warden" Trial, Reagents must kill the Warden (Coyle's counterpart figure in the environment) so Murkoff will "let them out." Coyle is shown early in an intimate/sexual situation with the Warden in the Showers; when the Warden bites him, Coyle violently retaliates and threatens that the Reagents can replace the Warden. He then hunts players throughout the map (Showers, Panopticon, cell blocks, Pig Farm, Administration Ward, etc.), patrols aggressively, bashes open doors and barricades, checks hiding spots, deploys electrical panel/floor traps that periodically activate and deal damage, and uses his baton to deliver high-damage shocks that temporarily disable a Reagent's Rig (for 30 seconds). He attempts to execute downed Reagents by electrocution. New executions for him were added with the Project Boneyard update.

Coyle is highly vocal, frequently ranting about law, guilt, shame, justice, communism ("pinkos"), and American values in a Southern accent while patroling. He is charismatic yet psychopathic, with a history of corruption (extortion, prison-labor exploitation), multiple murders of his wives under suspicious circumstances, military service in the Pacific theater of World War II, and earlier ties to the Ku Klux Klan. His obsession with electricity and punishment stems in part from childhood trauma involving lightning and abuse. In the Trials he treats Reagents as guilty criminals, anarchists, or threats to be controlled and punished.

He is voiced by Julian Bailey. In gameplay he is one of the more detectable Prime Assets due to the visual/audio cues from his equipment and cigarette, but remains a high-threat hunter who forces careful movement, trap avoidance, and coordination in the Prison Farm's correctional nightmare.
