William

William is a tall, fairly good looking middle aged man with light skin and taupe hair, blue eyes, and a Van Dyke beard. He wears golden vintage aviator eyeglasses, a yellow long-sleeved dress shirt with blue stripes, and either a purple tie with thin blue stripes or a blue tie with white dots. William smiles in an almost dreamy way when on the phone with Mike, joking about with the unsuspecting Mike that the owner of Freddy's (himself) is "a sentimental guy, I guess," cares about the restaurant and does not want it to be torn down, showing that William has a a casual confidence in his safety under the Steve Raglan disguise, as well as a sentimental side pertaining to his work. This is further supported by an employee training video that Mike watches, in which the virtual trainer says that the owner speaks highly of his creations. William Afton is a very clever and calculated individual. Every outcome of every move he makes is thoroughly thought out and determined. He is careful with his murderous rampages and recalls details about them well, although he showed some slight anxiety as he quickly recognizes Mike Schmidt as the brother of one of his earliest victims, Garrett Schmidt, from their shared last name alone. He quickly composes himself, however, and glimpses of his theatrical, humorous side begin to show. Like in the novel trilogy, William uses a fake identity and personality to blend into society and draw no attention to himself. "Steve Raglan" is very far removed from William's true self. In spite of his friendly, unserious, and humorous manner of speaking, he is in truth a sadistic killer and manipulator. He proved quite skilled as the latter as well. William shows no qualms with using others for his own ends, not his victims nor even his own daughter Vanessa. As in the books, William is shown to use his own daughter for his own selfish gain, without any regard to her safety or emotional well being. William Afton is a serial killer who primarily abducts and kills children. Early in his murderous career, one of his victims included Garrett Schmidt, the younger brother of Mike Schmidt, who would be haunted by the memory for several years. With all that Mike could remember was that Garrett’s kidnapper was driving a black sedan with no license plate and wearing a black hoodie. At some point during the late 1970’s- early 1980s, he would establish Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, and use it as a front to murder five more children while wearing a yellow rabbit suit, stuffing their corpses inside the restaurant's animatronic mascots to avoid further detection. One of the characteristics Afton demonstrates the most is his great arrogance. In the training video, the script dictates that the speaker call the owner a "genius" and "clever" which shows that William is arrogant, as he would have approved the script for the training video. He was so sure of his control over Vanessa and that she was completely submissive that, after she appeared to help Mike, William mocked her threat to shoot him, believing and openly saying she didn't have the courage to do it. Upon being confronted by the animatronics after the truth is revealed, he does not back away, but instead opts for trying to talk them down by insulting them and dehumanizing them, only to eventually meet his end from his own suit. Even in the face of certain death, William doesn't show much fear but rather confidence in him persevering through it, remarking that he "always comes back". William shows that he is determined and tenacious, by attempting to withstand being springlocked without screaming, despite being in immense suffering, and then chooses to arrogantly assure Mike that he will return.
