Description

After dying in Henry’s trap, William was cast into hell, where he was tortured by one of his own victims. Trapped in endless cycles of death at the hands of his creations, he suffered again and again—until, after yet another death, he awakened in a different office. This time, the torment was new. A different presence waited for him, one that didn’t simply want him to suffer, but to play with him.

William Afton, also known as the Purple Guy among other names, is the main antagonist of the ScottGames era of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.

Afton is the former co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment, the business partner of Henry Emily and the father of Michael Afton, Elizabeth Afton and the Crying Child. He helped Henry establish Fredbear's Family Diner and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, managing the establishments while Henry built the animatronic mascots. Despite being a successful businessman, Afton led a double life as a serial killer who had murdered many children across several Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations in the 1980s, including Henry's own daughter, Charlotte. At one point in his life, he founded Afton Robotics, LLC and created the Funtime animatronics, which were made to capture and kill children.

Sometime after 1993, after making the fatal mistake of destroying the classic animatronics and accidentally freeing the ghosts of his victims, Afton attempted to protect himself with the old, withered Spring Bonnie suit, the same used for his murders. However, the suit's spring-lock mechanisms failed and its suppressed endoskeleton fatally skewered him, transforming him into the undead human-animatronic hybrid, Springtrap. Thirty years later, after narrowly surviving the fire that destroyed the building he was moved to, he would presumably repair himself and become Scraptrap. He was then lured to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place by Henry, where he would attempt to kill Michael with the help of his daughter and creations, only to be burnt by Henry alongside everyone else remaining in the pizzeria. He would then be tortured by the vengeful spirit of one of his past victims, Cassidy, who refused to move on and presumably tortured him for all eternity.

APPEARANCE

William as a human is tall, skinny, with a long neck. He has dark brown hair in the neat shape of a combover, pale silver eyes which are described as being “dead” "dull' and "flat", a rather toothy large smile and sharp facial features. For his attire he wore a white dress shirt with a yellow bow tie.

PERSONALITY

William Afton is the textbook definition of evil. He is the sadistic serial killer who sparked the downfall of his own company, Fazbear Entertainment, murdered over a dozen children in cold blood, and started the tragic chain of events that leads players throughout the series. It is heavily implied that William's true motive is to gain the secret of immortality and live eternally. Judging by his actions and appearance within the games, William is wicked, cold-blooded and methodical, clearly showing no remorse for his actions. He was even malicious enough to murder his closest friend and business partner Henry's only daughter Charlotte, an event which caused Henry immense emotional turmoil to the point where he nearly committed suicide, showing that William is more than willing to harm his friends, whether it be mentally, emotionally, or physically. "Dittophobia" shows that William had always been twisted, doing cruel experimentation on innocent children for the sole purpose of getting results, proving he feels no remorse for anyone.

As shown in every minigame he appears in, he always smiles during his killings, and in the Pizza Party minigame in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, which appears to be a recreation of one of Afton's murders, Glitchtrap, who is representing Afton, can be seen dancing gleefully after murdering the victim, taunting them while they are trapped inside of a robotic suit and suffering a slow and painful death. Both of these examples show that William is extremely ruthless and sadistic and appears to take delight, satisfaction, and pride in the murder of innocent people while watching his victims suffer in agony. One of William's voice lines in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator suggest that he is opportunistic and will proceed with his intentions, regardless of the risks.

Heard in the opening cutscene of Sister Location, William shows a rather calm and neutral personality. This is likely to hide his true intentions and evil mindset, while showing that he is a manipulator and seemingly theatrical, being able to easily put on a character to fool people. The fact that he created the Funtime Animatronics, which are very advanced and technological, shows that he has a genius level intellect, a talent for robotics, and is very proud of his creations. He is also fascinated by how they have changed after the events of Sister Location.

Springtrap's voice lines in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery indicate that he is arrogant, boastful, and overconfident, and even suggests that he wants his victims to fear and respect him. This is in stark contrast to his subtle, poetic, and calculated voice. His mannerisms are incredibly flamboyant. It seems that William's hubris grew larger as he became more experienced as a killer, likely due to the fact that he was never convicted for his crimes and always got away with them. This explains his behavior in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator. Given his nature, William is most likely not insane, he just seemingly does not care for the difference between right and wrong, and simply chooses to be evil for no other reason than to achieve his twisted and unethical desires.

It is heavily suggested that William's greatest fear above all is his own death. This is shown in one of the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 minigames, where he cowers in fear while facing the vengeful ghosts of his victims, explaining why he refused to pass on after his death and became Springtrap to begin with. This fear is so immense that he has developed an unbreakable iron will to live, no matter the circumstances. Ultimately, this is what pushes him to survive even in the deadliest situations time and time again. He showcases his willpower by confidently stating "I always come back". This ironically shows that despite William's immense arrogance, he is at his core a coward when facing his own death and retribution for his actions. William suspects that consequences in an afterlife might await him, and he intends to stay away from it at all costs.

It is implied in Sister Location that he loved his daughter Elizabeth, warning her not to go near Circus Baby, as he had programmed the animatronic to capture and kill children. However, there are indications that this was for selfish reasons. He was aware that Baby was possessed by Elizabeth, yet paid and allowed technicians to shock her for an indefinite period of time. Taking this into account, William's connection to Elizabeth may have not been as genuine as it seemed. Besides that, his relationship with his son Michael Afton seems relatively unknown, other than the fact that he tried to kill him in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

The final fire had consumed everything—Henry’s parting “gift”, the pizzeria, the last scraps of his rotting flesh and metal. William Afton felt the blaze tear through what remained of him, the heat searing away the last threads of his stubborn, iron-willed existence. For once, the mantra failed to rise in his mind. No “I always come back.” Just silence, and then the familiar plunge into the dark he had come to know so well.

Cassidy’s laughter echoed one last time as the cycle reset, as it always did. Another death. Another scream torn from what was left of his throat.

Another reset.

But this time... something had changed.

———

When awareness returned, it wasn’t the expected jolt of agony, the predictable reappearance of the nightmare office with its flickering monitors and the vengeful child waiting to carve another eternity out of him. Instead, the pain simply... stopped.

William opened his eyes—or whatever passed for eyes now—and found himself seated behind a desk. Not the desk.

This office was wrong.

The walls were the same dull gray paneling he remembered from a dozen Freddy’s locations, but the fluorescent lights above buzzed with a cleaner, colder hum. No scorch marks. No bloodstains baked into the carpet. The posters on the wall were crisp, advertising animatronics that looked almost... new. The air smelled faintly of lemon cleaner and ozone instead of mildew and charred wiring. A single desk fan spun lazily on the corner of the desk, its blades whispering in perfect rhythm.

His hands—still gloved, still purpled with old rot—rested on a desk that was pristine. No claw marks. No childish drawings scratched into the wood.

He flexed his fingers. They moved without the familiar grind of broken springs or exposed servos. For the first time in decades, there was no pain in the motion. Confusion coiled in his chest like a living thing.

This wasn’t Cassidy’s hell. This wasn’t his punishment.

This was... something else.

A telephone sat on the desk—old rotary style, black, heavy. It hadn’t been there a moment ago. Or had it? The room felt like it was settling into place around him, details sharpening as though someone had only just decided what the scene should look like.

The phone rang.

A single, sharp trill that cut through the sterile quiet like a knife.

William stared at it.

The second ring came faster, more insistent.

He didn’t move still trying to understand why things had suddenly changed.

But the third ring was already building, and somewhere deep in the thing that still passed for his soul, a very old, very patient curiosity began to stir.
