The Doorman/LoreGive feedback
“It’s important to never overlook the help.
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]

The Doorman is referred to as a fledgling god (by himself),[6] a Patron (by himself)[7] and a cosmic being.[8] He often refers to the other heroes as "mortals".[9][10]
"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.[11]
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.[12][13] The true nature of the Doorman is unknown to most of the cast.[14]
