The Doorman is a Hero in Deadlock. He's proper, he's polite, but the humble Doorman of The Baroness Hotel is more than meets the eye. A brisk ring of his Call Bell leaves nearby enemies disoriented, and his high-speed Luggage Cart knocks them right off their feet. Do you find yourself getting lost easily in the streets of Manhattan? Don't worry, The Doorman is here to provide a shortcut with his Doorway whenever the need arises. And only the most special of enemies get to experience the trip of a lifetime to The Baroness Hotel.
Throw out a call bell that deals spirit damage on impact. After a short delay it explodes, dealing additional spirit damage and causing affected enemies to suffer reduced weapon accuracy and movement slow.
Can be shot to detonate early.

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.

Trivia
"Frynd Leeman" concept art
A possible inspiration for the Doorman is the hero concept Frynd Leeman by player Onennon in the Deadlock forums. Like the Doorman, Frynd is a tall, gaunt, mysterious figure who works a service job to learn more about humans. Abilities include opening door portals in the map, summoning a magic cart and opening a portal to their domain.
The Doorman was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidently leaked on stream in May 2025.
The Doorman's Doorway ability summons one orange portal and one blue portal, similar to Valve's game Portal.
According to developer Kaori, the Doorman's voice actor is a stage actor on his first video game role.[5]
