=== Biography ===
The Doorman is referred to as a fledgling god (by himself),<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=The Doorman|file=Doorman power4 on doorman.mp3|context=(ult on himself)|transcription=Reality twists and bends around you. How can this be? Has the Baroness turned on its loyal servant, or has a fledgling god lost his mind in the face of the patrons?}}</ref> a Patron (by himself)<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (killstreak): ''"Don't you fools get it? I am the Patron you should worry about angering!"''</ref> and a cosmic being.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Mina|file=Vampirebat kill doorman 04.mp3|transcription=Of course they left it to me to kill the cosmic being.}}</ref> He often refers to the other heroes as "mortals".<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}''<nowiki/>'s'' in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Pre-Game|voice line]] (Pre-Game Ping): ''"I am excited to help you mortals enrich your meaningless lives!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (High Killstreak): ''"Mortals, your pointless lives are about to come to an end!"''</ref>
"The Doorman" is not the Doorman's real name, but one he uses to "keep himself grounded" to remind himself that he's here to serve, not to rule.<ref>[[The Doorman/Quotes#Conversations|The Doorman & Paige Conversation 3]] - {{PageRef|name=Paige}}: ''"Well that’s not your name." -'' {{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}: ''"It’s not, but for my purposes in New York it helps me stay grounded, that I am here to serve and not to rule."''</ref>
There are lines which imply that, a long time ago, Doorman used to slaughter humans, expressing glee at the chance to kill again and be feared during the ritual.<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (High Killstreak): ''"I haven't slaughtered man like this for years, what a treat!"''</ref><ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s in-game [[The Doorman/Quotes#Killstreak|voice line]] (Medium Killstreak): ''"I forgot how wonderful it can feel to be feared."''</ref> The true nature of the Doorman is unknown to most of the cast.<ref>{{PageRef|name=The Doorman}}'s [[The Doorman/Quotes#Other Characters|other character interactions]]</ref>

The [[Occult Security and Investigation Commission|OSIC]] seem to be aware of the Doorman's true nature, as they consider Doorman participating in the ritual as "overstepping".<ref>{{PageRef|name=Haze}}'s in-game [[Haze/Quotes#Enemies|voice line]] (killed The Doorman): ''"You overstepped, Doorman."''</ref>
The Doorman claims to be able to see the future.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=The Doorman|file=Doorman power4 on tengu.mp3|transcription=Ivy, you're a good person, and I have no desire to torment you here.
