Vinz Clortho (also known as The Keymaster) is a demigod and minion of Gozer, alongside Zuul. He possessed Louis Tully in Ghostbusters and Gary Grooberson in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

I am Vinz, Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer…Volguus Zildrohoar, Lord of the Seboullia. Are you the Gatekeeper?” — Louis Tully possessed by Vinz Clortho, the Keymaster

Vinz Clortho, a minion of the god known as Gozer, was worshiped as a demigod by the Sumerians, Mesopotamians and Hittites in 6000 BC. It was believed the souls of the dead were ruled by Gozer and protected by a powerful Gatekeeper and Keymaster, but in order for Gozer to rise up and walk the human plane again, the Gatekeeper and Keymaster had to assume the form of beasts. Vinz was one of the entities recorded in Tobin’s Spirit Guide, including illustrations of its Terror Dog form.
