Line 9:
An ex-NYPD-detective-turned-salesman who works for Ed Vincent at the Red Crown company. A bit of a [[Jerkass]] and most certainly a [[First-Person Smartass]], Kyle is searching for his partner Brian Bradley, who went missing after he double-crossed NYPD and Kyle shot him. He stays in room 215.
 
* [[Ambiguously Gay]] -: See the [[Ho Yay]] entries in the YMMV section.
* [[Anti-Hero]] -: Initially arrives at Hotel Dusk to do his job so he can get out of there, before he starts suspecting that the mystery might be related to Bradley.
* [[Badass]] -: Oh yes.
* [[Captain Obvious]] -: When examining items, he often does this, sometimes on purpose.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
Line 18:
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]
* [[The Messiah]] -: Though he doesn't necessarily want to be.
* [[Parrot Exposition]]
* [[Perma-Stubble]]
* [[Private Detective]] -: Well, a former ''professional'' detective, but he still [[Film Noir|speaks like one]].
* [[Running Gag]] -: "''Good name, isn't it?''"
* [[Stoic Woobie]]
* [[Through His Stomach]] -: 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.
* [[Turn in Your Badge]] -: He was fired from NYPD before the events of ''Hotel Dusk''.
 
'''Mila Evans'''
Line 31:
A mysterious young woman who shows up at Hotel Dusk after Kyle passes her on the way there. Nobody seems to know what she's looking for, and the fact she can't talk doesn't help matters.
 
* [[Cute Mute]] -: {{spoiler|Until chapter 9}}.
* [[Mysterious Waif]]
* [[Woman in White]]
Line 39:
Kyle's boss at Red Crown and a friend of his father. Ed is blunt and to the point, and has plenty of connections that let him know exactly what's going on most of the time.
 
* [[The Faceless]] -: His eyes are never shown.
* [[Grumpy Old Man]] -: Although his grumpiness doesn't show in the first game.
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]
 
Line 47:
Ed's secretary and a friend of Kyle's.
 
* [[Love Interest]] -: 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 [[New Game+]].
* [[Sassy Secretary]]
* [[Sexy Secretary]]
Line 57:
'''Dunning Smith'''
 
The hotel's owner who hates both criminals and cops. He's generally friendly (if a bit dishonest and grumpy), but get on his bad side and it's Game Over for you. He also likes hockey.
 
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]
Line 68:
Hotel Dusk's only maid. She is very talkative and often complains that she is the only hard-working one in the hotel, which is pretty true. She's also a great chef.
 
* [[The Cameo]] -: She appears on a photo along with her husband in ''Another Code R''.
* [[Catch Phrase]] -: "Busy, busy, busy" and "land's sake"." The latter may have something to do with her {{spoiler|husband being a sailor}}.
* [[Collector of the Strange]] -: She collects autographs.
* [[Horrible Judge of Character]] -: Averted, she's great at judging people, if a bit quick to jump on conclusions. However, Kyle makes her out to be one to keep her from finding out about Louie's past.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]
* [[Mama Bear]] -: She gets really protective of Mila, and won't hesitate to chase Kyle off if she thinks he's bothering her. Imagine if she were ever in real danger.
* [[Only Sane Man]] -: Of the hotel staff.
* [[Supreme Chef]]
 
'''Louis DeNonno'''
 
A former pickpocket who has turned straight and works as the only bellhop in the hotel. His main interests are flirting with ladies and avoiding work. Throughout the game, he pops up and helps Kyle a lot. He's also Italian and hates disco music.
 
* [[The Bartender]] -: The only job he likes to do - and is actually very good at.
* [[Big Damn Heroes|Big Damn Hero]] -: He {{spoiler|saves Kyle's life in chapterChapter 10}}.
* [[Butt Monkey]] -: Probably takes the most crap from various characters in the game... as well as the universe in general.
* [[The Cameo]] -: He can be seen in a photo together with a yet-unidentified man who may be Martin Summer in ''Another Code 2''.
* [[Catch Phrase]] -: He uses the word "trip" a lot.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]] -: Though he backs off real quick when {{spoiler|we learn that Mila is essentially 9 - and tells him 'no.'}}.
* [[Loveable Rogue|Loveable Ex Pickpocket]]
* [[Nice Guy]] -: Helpful, funny, and with some surprising [[Hidden Depths]] of empathy and understanding.
* [[Reformed Criminal]] -: Although Rosa and Dunning doesn't know about his past.
* [[Sidekick]] -: He doesn't follow Kyle 24/7 like [[Ace Attorney|Maya Fey does to Phoenix Wright]], but he is quite helpful and at least calls Kyle his partner, since {{spoiler|they are both looking for Bradley}}.
 
'''Kevin Woodward'''
Line 96:
A surgeon who comes to Hotel Dusk with his daughter, Melissa. His wife left him some time ago.
 
* [[Abusive Parents]] -: May or may not have been this to Melissa.
* {{spoiler|[[Back-Alley Doctor]]}} -: {{spoiler|He was accused and successfully sued for malpractice. Whether that means he actually committed it is up to the player to decide, although Kevin says he didn't}}.
 
'''Melissa Woodward'''
Line 104:
 
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]
* [[Morality Pet]] -: She is one of the very few characters that Kyle is nice to.
 
'''Iris'''
Line 117:
 
* [[Cool Old Guy|Cool Old Lady]]
* [[Eyepatch of Power]] -: Her nickname isn't "Grandma Patch" or "Pirate Grandpa" for nothing. It looks pretty cool on her.
* {{spoiler|[[Stage Magician]]}} -: Used to be one.
 
'''Martin Summer'''
Line 125:
 
* [[Adjusting Your Glasses]]
** [[Glasses Pull]] -: {{spoiler|When Kyle exposes him.}}.
* [[Jerkass]] -: {{spoiler|Summer stole his friend Alan's manuscript for ''The Secret Word'' and became famous}}.
** [[Jerkass Woobie]] -: {{spoiler|He wants to repent, though, and the guilt has been tormenting him for ''ten years''}}.
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
* [[Tough Act to Follow]] -: An in-game example. His only well-received book is his first one, ''The Secret Word''. {{spoiler|Probably because he stole the manuscript}}.
 
'''Jeff Angel''' {{spoiler|('''Jeff Damon''')}}
Line 138:
* [[Emo Teen]]
* [[Jerkass]]
** [[Jerkass Woobie]].
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]
 
Line 145:
Kyle's missing NYPD partner. While working on a case about the crime syndicate Nile, Bradley betrayed the police, causing Kyle to tear up the city looking for him. When Kyle caught up with him at the docks, he shot Bradley, who fell into the river.
 
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]] -: Bradley orchestrated Kyle coming to Hotel Dusk in the first place, confident that Kyle would be brilliant enough to close the book on the hotel's many mysteries. He even left behind a good bye letter that he expected Kyle to find.}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]}}
* [[Never Found the Body]]
Line 167:
A famous Impressionist painter whose work recently obtained acclaim after he was rediscovered by Robert Evans. {{spoiler|In reality, he doesn't exist; he's nothing more than a fake name for Dunning made up by Evans in order to help sell Dunning's paintings}}.
 
* [[Dead Artists Are Better]]: - (He never had much fame until long after his death.)
 
'''Jenny {{spoiler|Smith}}'''
