** James Patrick March designed, built and adopted it as his home from then on and rarely ever left. As it turned out, March was actually a serial killer and built the Cortez as so he could prey on the guests. After March killed himself to avoid getting arrested, his soul ended up trapped in the Cortez, making it his domain for all eternity.

->'''Played By:''' Helena Mattsson

* CharacterTics: She has a tendency to bite down on her lower lip.

* YourCheatingHeart: Seems to be a struggle for him, as his wife can't stand his presence and he's losing his sense of control.

* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler: Falls for a man as she and the Countess began to drift apart. However, in her words, "[The Countess] couldn't stand one of her creations creating something else," and so she murdered Ramona's lover and his production crew.]]

* MundaneSolution: [[spoiler: How do you get a ghost with severe dependency issues to stop killing every single guest she comes across in a desperate attempt to find a new soulmate long enough for the hotel to be declared a historical monument instead of it being torn down and potentially condemning everyone trapped in it to Hell for all the things they've done? Set up free Wi-Fi in the hotel, give her a smartphone and teach her to use social media.]]

* {{Adorkable}}: Treats receiving detergent as the ultimate gift to the point where she'll run out of the room to find something to clean and she was almost in tears from receiving a washer from Liz Taylor and Iris.

* {{Animal Motifs}}: Snakes. The Countess has a snake ring and a snake brooch. Iris refers to Elizabeth as a snake in ''Mommy."

* BlackBestFriend: To John.
