Author Notes - Headcanons! Everyone loves 'em! I hope. The bios presented here match the ones of the ghosts in my other Luigi's Mansion 3 story(s?).

It'll give away backstories revealed in the story, but the in-story events themselves won't be mentioned. Note that the 'notable relationships' part means 'anyone who is more/less than simply a friend', as pretty much everyone is friends with each other.

Partially inspired by BurningFox6's Boo-ographies. I say partially as I did not read that story before coming up with my headcanons. The 'publish them like this' part was. There will be some freaky overlap though. Seriously, how did we both call Kruller 'the Cowardly Cop'?

TODAY, we're dealing with Steward, the Frustrated Bellhop. After all, he is the first 'boss', though he's not much of a battler, is he now? Don't be surprised if I ever come back to add some minor updates.

QUICK WARNING - While some of the deaths are humorous, a lot of them are very dark and detail with heavy topics, like suicide and the death of children.

STEWARD, THE FRUSTRATED BELLHOP

CAUSE OF DEATH - Crushed by luggage

TIME OF DEATH - Around 1900-1910

QUOTES

'I presume this suitcase - ya know, the green one that shares your emblem - is yours, sir.'

'Oh, forget it. Do what you want with me. I'm just so SICK of this stupid job!'

'You'd think that after all these years of lifting these heavy suitcases, you'd get stronger, right? Wrrrong-o!'

'But I hear that plumbers really like a suitcase to the - YOWCH!'

BIO

No ghost in the Last Resort seems to like their job very much - mostly thanks to their awful boss - but Steward is infamously unhappy with his work. The sad part? It wasn't always like that. And it wasn't necessarily his death that did it for him either.

Ever since he was a child, he loved helping people out. Even if the work was hard, he considered the satisfaction on their faces more than worth it. So, naturally, he ended up getting work as a bellhop in a popular hotel in the Beanbean Kingdom.

Due to his meagre arms, Steward struggled to lift most of the luggage. Still, he performed his job with joy. That was until Queen Mango (an ancestor to Princess Peach) had too much luggage for his cart to handle. The wheels broke, crushing him beneath all those suitcases.

That was not what made him hate his job. It was when Hellen Gravely treated him like a slave - with poor pay to boot - that made him loathe his job. Over the course of a single day. Having to clean out Polterkitty's litterbox every day probably didn't help either.

EXTRA NOTES

-He didn't realise he was gay until he met Johnny, thus finding out that he really likes big muscles. They're the only boss ghosts dating, though another couple has officially tied the knot.

-He and Chambrea bonded over both being severely overworked without any pay to make up for it. Unfortunately, they don't get to talk much due to their workspaces being so distance a lot of the time.

-The best way to describe his descent into hating his job was that he started out as a SpongeBob, before Hellen turned him into a Squidward.

-Now, another ghost cleans out Polterkitty's litterbox. If Steward were to ever see it again, he would scream.

BEHIND THE SCENES

As the first boss of the story, Steward had a bit to live up to, as it were. I had always planned for him to be bitter over his job due to his lack of strength, but his distain for Hellen specifically just kind of happened and ended up changing the course of the story slightly. By that I mean, the boss ghosts' hatred for their boss was going to be revealed much later on, but Steward here forced me to deal with that early. It ended up being for the better.

Also on a random note, the boss ghosts were originally going to be a mix of previously-living humans and ghosts who were always ghosts. Then Steward's 'muscles do not grow in the afterlife' tangent made me realise that Johnny had to have been a human too, so now they're all ghosts of humans (with the exception of Hellen Gravely, who was always a ghost). Which was also for the better.

Speaking of Johnny, Steward and him are gay for each other because I wanted my story to have a gay couple cos why not, and the two had a wonderful 'opposites attract' thing going on.
