Kyle Hyde (Nintendo vs. Capcom)

Kyle Hyde is the protagonist of the Kyle Hyde Saga within the Another Code universe, consisting of the 2007 Nintendo DS game Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and its 2010 sequel, Last Window: The Secret of Cap West. Formally part of the New York Police Department around the 1960's, Officer Hyde's badge was revoked after a grand scheme by the hands of the crime syndicate Nile forced his partner Brian Bradley to betray the force in 1976, leaving Kyle no choice but to shoot him. As Officer Bradley's corpse fell into the Hudson River, Kyle was profoundly sure the wound inflicted by his firearm was not fatal; and so after willfully hanging up his badge, Kyle began to investigate where Bradley escaped off to after falling off the map, and more importantly, what the motive was behind betraying him and the force. This lead to Kyle seeking employment at the door-to-door sales firm, The Red Crown headed under his father's old-time friend, Ed Vincent. Having traveled cross-country to his hometown of Los Angeles, Kyle used his traveling salesman gig as a cover to investigate Bradley's disappearance; drinking night-by night and his luck shot, Kyle was about to give up hope when Ed advised him of a package arriving at a distant business known as Hotel Dusk. Within Hotel Dusk's walls, Kyle met many other guests who had connections to the very events that affected him back in New York, through Kyle's thorough and quirky detective reasoning developed over his time at the force, he was able to uncover a great conspiracy that Hotel Dusk had with the Nile syndicate, and a massive hint as to Bradley's wearabouts.
