Dessie

Background

Dessie, also called D or Dess, is an American doorman who works the entrance of Maisonette 9, Tony Prince's nightclub in Algonquin. He is friendly with Luis Fernando Lopez and with the club staff, including Joni and Troy. His voicemail tells callers not to bother him with guest list requests because that is not his job, which suggests he gets plenty of them.

Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony

When Tony Prince complains that standards at the clubs are slipping, he tells Luis that Dessie is at Maisonette 9 every night and will explain what needs doing. This starts the Club Management side activity.

During Club Management shifts, Luis regularly chats with Dessie at the door. Whenever Luis throws a troublemaker out of the club, he passes Dessie on the way back in and the two trade comments about the person just ejected. Dessie can also interrupt a shift with a celebrity job, sending Luis off to take care of a VIP guest.

Outside the missions, Dessie can be heard on the radio station Integrity 2.0, turning away Lazlow Jones and his sidekick Jorge at the club door.
