Gregory (Five Nights at Freddy's)

**Gregory** is the main protagonist of the Steel Wool era of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.

He is confirmed to be **Patient 46**, who worked for the Mimic and killed anyone who discovers the oddities of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.

He is voiced by Marta Svetek.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* Despite being a homeless child, Gregory is very intelligent and deceptive for his age and is capable of hacking technology and knowing his way around the Pizzaplex.
* At some point, he stopped working for the Mimic and redeemed himself, wishing to undo his actions under the Mimic. After his redemption, he became an extremist who only committed crimes for understandable reasons.
* If the player chooses to have Gregory stay in the Pizzaplex, he will try to stop Vanny and the Mimic's murders and prevent any more from happening.
* He tricks the hostile Glamrock animatronics into putting themselves in vulnerable positions to destroy them and use their parts to upgrade Glamrock Freddy.
* He is able to fend off Burntrap and the shattered Glamrocks.
* In the Princess Ending, with the help of the Princess he is able to free Vanny from her brainwashing and return her to being Vanessa.
* Although he cuts the elevator and dooms Cassie, he did it to stop the Mimic from escaping and killing more people and felt reluctance in doing so.
* While the manner he shatters the Glamrocks is callous, he is not too mean-spirited as he only wishes to survive and feels no sadism when hurting them, and genuinely wants to keep Glamrock Freddy's trust despite having to lie to him. Also, the Glamrocks are not shown to suffer from serious pain in spite of their shattered state, with the exception of Monty (whom is implied to have killed Glamrock Bonnie and if so deserved what happened to him).

## What Hinders His Magnificence?

* His crimes pre-redemption are not elaborated on, and while they are horrific his connection to them is only implicit and don't show how much intelligence he put into them. Furthermore his involvement in Tony Becker's fate ends on a cliffhanger so it's not known how Becker suffered.
	+ The books imply that Gregory was brainwashed by the Mimic when he was working for it, showing that he was not in control over those actions.
* He loses his composure in the Disassemble ending, breaking down in tears when pressing the button and watching in horror as she got disassembled. He was shown to be very reluctant to do so, and only did it out of desperation because Glamrock Freddy told him to since he had no other choice.

## What Makes Him A Baddie?

* He worked with the Mimic and assisted it with its crimes, such as hacking the Glamrock animatronics, brainwashing Vanessa into becoming Vanny and killing several therapists in implicitly brutal ways to prevent them from knowing the truth, though he would later redeem himself.
* He lures Tony Becker to the Pizzaplex, presumably to kill him.
* He brutally destroys the Glamrock animatronics to use their parts to upgrade Glamrock Freddy, while lying to him about what happened to them despite the animatronic being wholly loyal and trusting towards him.
* He betrays his friend Cassie, who tried to save him, by cutting the elevator and making her fall to her supposed death.
