| ~ Steward to Luigi, wearing his human mask. |
The Steward is a minor antagonist in Luigi's Mansion 3. He is one of Hellen Gravely's minions who works in the hotel. He is the first boss in the game and also the easiest one (since his only weapons are tossing suitcases). Luigi fights him for the first and fifth floor's elevator buttons.
Biography[]
The Steward is first seen when Luigi and company arrive at the hotel for their vacation. He is seen wearing a smiling mask most of the time to hide his ghost traits from those around him. He welcomes Luigi and helps them with their luggage. Later on, the Steward is found in the garage located in the Basement after Luigi frees Professor Elvin Gadd. He is seen wheeling a cart containing his mask and coat, revealing himself to be a ghost. Steward notices Luigi and becomes shocked, pushes the cart away and starts the battle against him.
The Steward's only method to attack is throwing cases of luggage at Luigi since he hadn't any other form of attack, which makes the battle easier to win. He will become vulnerable after throwing a suitcase, allowing Luigi to flash him in time. The Steward is finally vacuumed with the Poltergust G-00 and his hat comically flies off, but he then pulls it in.
At the end of the game, it is revealed that most ghosts in the hotel were brainwashed by King Boo, and thus were unwilling accomplices. Thus, this might also be true for the Steward. However, his eventual fate remains unknown.
