Like many of the other inhabitants of the Maw, he dutifully performs his work, trapping any children who attempt to escape. Like many of the other Little Nightmares characters, the Janitor does not speak, but his personality can be inferred from his actions.

His wardrobe consists of a worn-out brown fedora hat, a filthy green jacket with a name tag (revealed to say 'Roger' up close), a pair of faded black shoes, and a pair of brown trousers disappearing underneath his shirt. More so than his head, The Janitor's arms and legs are the most grossly dis-proportioned: while his legs are almost comically short and stumpy, his arms stretch to over twice his body length, and can stretch even longer at will, ending in large hands with long, bony fingers that constantly twitch and grope at everything they touch. His mouth is stretched wide from ear to ear, and almost always wears a sinister grin while grinding his many teeth. The most striking feature of his head is how the top half of its skin seems to have collapsed and sags down over his eyes, revealing the top of his bare skull and leaving him blinded by the folds of flesh.

His skin is extremely pale and chalky while his head is large and connected to his torso by a wrinkled neck which bends his back into a hunch by its sheer weight. The Janitor is humanoid monster whose proportions are greatly warped and exaggerated compared to a normal human. Now as The Janitor he is a tall tale hiding in the shadows, stalking the silence, a monster alone. With long forgotten things from long forgotten places, he fled the world and found The Maw.
