In the Five Nights at Freddy's series, William Afton, or 'Purple Guy', is a pivotal character. His presence is initially suggested through pixelated minigames, and his identity is confirmed in 'Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location'. His demise occurs when he is crushed by the malfunctioning Spring Bonnie suit, but his spirit fuses with the suit, leading to his rebirth as 'Springtrap'. He is later killed in the grim fire that occurs at the end of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, though what exactly occurs after the fire remains uncertain.
