K. Pyle

"Don't tell 'em a fucking thing!"

- K. Pyle to C. Miller

"Go to Hell."

- K. Pyle to a Japanese officer moments before his execution

Private K. Pyle is a member of Pvt. C. Miller's Marine Raiders team in the opening cinematic. The team landed on Makin Atoll a week before the first mission and were captured by the local Japanese forces.

At the start of the game, he is seen being beaten by a Japanese soldier with a bamboo shinai while a Japanese Officer interrogates Miller and the other Marines are beaten to death by passing Japanese soldiers. When questioned, Pyle refuses to reveal anything and spits in the Japanese officer's face as an act of defiance. The officer responds by shoving a lit cigarette into Pyle's eye before ordering the soldier torturing Pyle to execute the two Marines. His last words addressed his captors: "Go to hell" and moments later his throat is slit by the Japanese soldier with a boot knife. Just as his assailant grabs Miller, his torturers are soon killed by a rescue team led by Sergeant Sullivan when Roebuck stabs the Japanese soldier with a knife.
