Springtrap

Springtrap was the serial killer responsible for the murder of a dozen children over the period of about a decade, as well as the founder of Fredbear's Family Diner and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. 
== History ==
In the early 1970's, Afton, and his friend and business partner Henry Emily, created the company Fazbear Entertainment and opened Fredbear's Family Diner. Henry designed, manufactured, and built two Springlock Suits (Spring Bonnie and Fredbear), and later the four main animatronic entertainers for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy), while William would handle the business's paperwork, management and finances. In the building's first years, Afton would dress as Spring Bonnie, a Springlock Suit which depicted a large androgynous yellow rabbit. He would wear it inside the pizzeria, via using a hand crank to move the inner springlocks of the suit away from his face, chest, arms and legs, as not doing so would lead to his impalement inside the suit. He would often brag about how he could perform effortlessly while using it, being very proud and flamboyant as he did so. Some people claimed the character that he so loved to portray was more alive than he was.
However, one night, Henry's daughter, Charlotte Emily, would be left outside the diner and William seized the opportunity to kill her. Later, around the date of June 26th, 1985, Afton would abduct and murder five children by luring them into a backroom, dressed as Spring Bonnie. When suspicion arose, he hid their corpses to avoid getting caught, likely in the animatronics. The police would arrest Afton but let him go due to a lack of evidence and the bodies never being found. This caused the spirits of the dead children to become vengeful and possess the animatronics to take revenge. After the first location closed due to bankruptcy, William Afton left Fazbear Entertainment, later briefly returning once under an alias.
Sometime later, William would create the company Afton Robotics, and set up a new location, called Circus Baby Pizzeria with a new cast of animatronics called the Funtime Animatronics. However, this location would shut down even before it opened due to a supposed "gas leak." In reality, multiple children were sent into the building and most, if not all, were subsequently killed by the Funtime Animatronics. William's daughter, Elizabeth, was part of the group of children sent in, and was killed by Circus Baby. Following this disaster, William would remake the restaurant into Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, renting out the Funtime animatronics.
Many years later, Afton returned to the third establishment of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza when it had long been abandoned in order to destroy the Classic Animatronics for an unknown reason. This freed the spirits of the children inside, and they swarmed their killer. Physically unable to harm him, they chased and cornered Afton in the backroom, where the same rabbit suit that Afton wore to kill them was left. He hurriedly put on the suit in order to fool them, forgetting it was damaged by rain and time at this point. Afton laughed at his victims, believing he was untouchable and had gotten away again. However, due to his shaky movements and moisture dripping down from the damaged roof, the springlocks of the costume failed, with Afton inside. Every part of his body was impaled and bludgeoned into pieces, and he dropped to the floor twitching in shock, where he lay, bleeding out and dying as the children passed away. Sometime after, the room was boarded up by an unknown person, presumably Henry Emily.
Afton was left there to rot for the next 37 years until, sometime after his demise, Afton awoke, alone and decomposing. Due to his iron will to live and the remnant in his suit, Afton was still alive but permanently encased inside. In the year of 2024, he was found by the organizers of Fazbear's Fright and put inside the horror attraction based on the infamous past of the Freddy Fazbear brand. Now free, he abandoned his old identity and accepted his new form, calling himself Springtrap. He was defeated by Batman and was supposedly killed by the building burning down via a trap that John Kramer left long ago. He does survive, but all burnt up and torn, he meets the Joker and his friends again, and they give him the offer of joining Aldeus Slait.
== Personality ==
He is the sadistic serial killer who sparked the downfall of his own company, Fazbear Entertainment, having 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 alongside fulfilling his cruel and sadistic pleasures. 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.
