Disorienting - Map Control - Mind Games

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.

A self-described "Fledgling God" and possibly a cosmic being of some repute, the Doorman planned to experience life on this material plane of humanity for only a few weeks. After a few odd encounters and interactions, he quickly decided to remain as a simple doorman within the New York service industry to continue observing the strange demands that please humans.

The Doorman was released on August 22, 2025 as the second winner of the Six Heroes update contest.

Background

“

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.

Lore

The Doorman is referred to as a fledgling god (by himself), a Patron (by himself) and a cosmic being. He often refers to the other heroes as "mortals".

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

"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. 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.

The Doorman likes working at the Baroness since he gets to observe humanity.

The Doorman claims to be able to see the future.

Character Interactions

• The Doorman is extremely knowledgeable about every other hero in the game, tormenting them while they're trapped in the Baroness. He doesn't seem to know what Warden wants, which could mean he's telepathic like the Patrons as opposed to being omniscient, since they can't read Warden's desires either.
• The Doorman calls the Patrons "old friends" and refers to them as City Mother and Amber King.
• The Doorman respects Infernus since they both work in the service industry and is apologetic when killing him.
• The Doorman thinks Wraith is a "delight" and is grateful towards her since she's a generous tipper.
• The Doorman thinks Lady Geist is rude and doesn't expect any tips from her.
• The Doorman is actively keeping Paradox out of the Baroness.
• Both Patrons are familiar with the Doorman and express surprise at seeing him fighting on their behalf. They respect The Doorman and view his murderous side as "who he was meant to be".
• Mina and Lady Geist don't like talking to The Doorman since they view him as just "the help".

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, and uses keys as his weapon. Abilities include opening door portals in the map, summoning a magic cart, and opening a portal to their domain.
• Every map in the game has a hidden copy of the Baroness Hotel room. The Doorman's ultimate cannot be used in maps that don't have the hotel room.
• The Doorman was one of the heroes in a private build who was accidentally 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.
• "At Your Service in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as The Doorman in the Hideout.
