He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye.

While he had only planned to experience life on this plane for a few weeks, The Doorman quickly discovered that the New York service industry was a great way to see the strange demands that please humans.

Overview

The Doorman's motivation in the ritual is to see the Patrons, since he hasn't seen them in a long time.[1][2] He doesn't seem to have a wish planned as he intends to return to the Baroness after the ritual,[3][4] although the Patrons goad him to wish back his old power.[5]
