Kyle Fitzpatrick

Kyle Fitzpatrick was one of Sander Cohen's unfortunate disciples and had the misfortune of taking a rather "explosive" final piano lesson from Cohen. He is the first of four disciples that Jack needs to photograph to complete Cohen's Quadtych (otherwise referred to as Cohen's "Masterpiece").

When Jack encounters Fitzpatrick, the latter is plastered from the waist down to a piano rigged with explosives in Fleet Hall. He is forced to play Cohen's Scherzo well enough to satisfy his mentor, but Cohen is displeased and demands that he continue playing until he gets it right. Eventually, Fitzpatrick gives up in frustration, which triggers the piano to explode, killing him instantly.

The player may also choose to kill Fitzpatrick before Sander Cohen does, either by shooting the dynamite on the piano or shooting Fitzpatrick himself, resulting in Cohen remarking, "Well, that was quicker than I hoped."

Burial at Sea - Episode 1
Prior to the Civil War, Fitzpatrick was one of Cohen's best disciples. As Cohen paints a life painting of two dancers, Fitzpatrick follows his mentor's order to electrocute both of them due to their lack of enthusiasm and overall dedication to their waltz. After Cohen enlists Booker and Elizabeth to replace the dancers, Fitzpatrick also electrocutes them when they fail to meet Cohen's standards.

Quotes

 * "Mister Cohen please..."
 * "I'm trying... Please...!"
 * "Oh Cohen, you sick fuck, let me out of this!"

Bugs/Glitches

 * In certain rare instances, if Fitzpatrick is frozen (Chemical Thrower will work better than Winter Blast) and then shattered with an instant kill (such as with the Shotgun), his body will disappear and it will be impossible to photograph him to complete the objective. An example of the result can be seen here.

Behind the Scenes

 * Like all of Cohen's disciples, Fitzpatrick uses the "Toasty" Splicer model.
 * The explosives on the piano are labeled TNT yet look like sticks of dynamite. There is a common misconception that these two explosives are one in the same, however the two aren't even related compounds.
 * As seen in Burial at Sea - Episode 1, Fitzpatrick aided Cohen in executing performers that failed to meet Cohen's standards. In the first BioShock, it serves as irony as Fitzpatrick meets the same fate as the performers he killed throughout the years working with Cohen. It is also ironic that he calls Cohen a sick fuck despite being an instrument in most of Cohen's murders prior to his final performance.
