#janitor

Unlike most of the people, this old man doesn't have a name. Instead, he simply goes by “Janitor” as this is his job at an elementary school. Unfortunately, his personality and mental state is quite complicated. Despite the Janitor's line of work, he doesn't hesitate to attack, cripple, and possibly kill the children he works with. He'll do this for as little as having his spelling corrected by them. Although he's antagonistic at times, the Janitor isn't outwardly cruel towards anyone on the first impression. He'll restrain himself from killing someone until there's no proper proof or a reason to do so.

The Janitor claims to be a war veteran, though he won't clarify which war it was. There's also no proof of this past. Regardless, Janitor frequently mentions being in a war, as many things remind him of this. At one point, he acted as if he wasn't involved in a war, and denied it. But this could have been a one-off statement influenced by other factors.

In the first game, Janitor had his own closet, which he called the “weapons closet”. There, he kept incriminating evidence and whatever he confiscated from the kids that day. Janitor even kept bloody bags in the bathroom. Because of this, he's quite territorial of his space and property. Beyond this, Jerome said the Janitor peed in the water fountain more than once, getting into trouble with the Principal.

Regarding the adults' schemes, the Janitor helped the Principal with his plan, but wasn't very involved. He kept the creature’s bodies in his closet as well. Billy stumbled upon this when he cased Cindy's dog, Biscuit, in there. When the Janitor discovered them, he kidnaps the boy and hands him over to the Principal. That same day, Biscuit bit the old man. As a result, he later killed the dog and used her for “biscuit balls”. Janitor didn't know or care about the actual experimenting part, thus he had no information on Billy's whereabouts after the Biscuit incident. Yet, he was quite reserved about everything.

On the second game, the Janitor becomes territorial over the entire school. He then mostly sets his murderous sights on the other janitor, Bob, seeing him as competition. Additionally, Janitor does this due to a “janitor’s code of honor,” but clarifies it’s his own personal code. Besides that, he doesn't cause any big problems. Janitor even does his job by cleaning the floors because he enjoys his position.
