Oh-kay, let's try to solve this!

Question not clear enough. Please try again.

What is the mobility of the whole thing? What were the last five places it was and when was it there?

Before US, it was in Siberia (low traffic) for 28 years. Before that, it was somewhere near London for a month. Before than, it was in South Africa for 11 days. Before that, it was in Gibraltar for less than a second. Before that, it was in Nepal for 394 years.

What is the relationship of the gatekeeper and the stairs to the mansion it is in now?

It was built sp that the Stairway isn't out in the open with a neon sign and a massive target painted on it.

Does the mansion move or does the stairway set itself up in a new place?

Everything moves.

What caused the whole stairway of chaos to be in the first place?

Would you believe if I said it was a glitch in the Matrix?

I am guessing that you want to write the concluding segment. Is that correct?

It is correct.

Is there anything that is a threat to the stairway and the gatekeeper? What happens if someone nukes it?

They wasted a perfectly good nuke for nothing.

What is the minimum age of places the stairway appears in? 20 years? 50 years? What about decrepitude? Must it be a falling apart mansion? Could it suddenly appear in the White House or a hotel or a warehouse?

Answered in previous question (it almost seems you made these up as you went). The building and the Stairway are linked.

How many victims happen between moves of the stairway? No fixed number. Can be one, ten, a thousand. And sometimes even none.

How well known is the stairway? Is this some sort of urban legend? Fairly unknown.

How long has the gatekeeper been doing the job? For 5,500 years give or take.

How did he get suckered into it? He tried to climb the Stairway before it was in Beta phase.

Is this gatekeeper happy being there? If not, what do they want? Would you be happy if you were doing nothing but sitting and rotting for 5.5 thousand years? Didn't think so.

What he wants is to be free and pass into afterlife.

Is the gatekeeper concerned with people knowing about the Stairs of Chaos? Is he hiding it? Would he like more people coming? Frankly, he doesn't care either way.

What is the end state of the Stairway of Chaos? Again, not sure what you mean, but if you mean how does it end, it ends when someone climbs to the top and claims the prize. The Stairway then becomes a regular old staircase with no special properties.

What is the end state of the Gatekeeper?

Once someone successfully climbs the Stairway, and claims the prize, he will die, 'cause the Stairway would be rendered powerless.

Where is the Stairway of Chaos presently? Somewhere in US: hell if I know exactly where, I'm not from US. How do people know where the Stairway is? It's not by repeat business from satisfied customers, apparently. Some heard the rumors, some just happen to find it... it varies.

Could someone chain themselves to a step so they can't retreat accidentally or freak out and jump back? Could they use such a device to get to the top? I think we can all agree that that would be mighty impractical. Also, no amount of chains can help you if you fail to escape the memory.

So, what is the grand prize at the top? That one, I'm not telling just yet. Surprise.

Has anyone famous ever tried the challenge? If so, who? King Gilgamesh. He died.

Has the stairway ever been a part of history? Maybe in the great pyramid, etc? No. Not recorded history, anyway.

Who constructed the whole stairway of chaos thing? The Elder Gods? Space Aliens? It was an alien.

Will the makers ever return and interact with a challenger? He's as dead as you can make him.
