**William Afton** is the co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment, as well as the main antagonist of the *Five Nights at Freddy's: The Story* series. He is the deuteragonist turned secondary antagonist in Season 1, the main antagonist of Season 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, the unseen overarching antagonist in Season 4, and one of the two final antagonists (alongside The Blob) in Season 8. He is the founder of Afton Robotics and a serial killer who was directly and indirectly responsible for all of the incidents, murders, and tragedies throughout the series. His role in the franchise's story is pivotal.

As **Springtrap**, he is William's first incarnation, appearing as a reanimated corpse sealed in a heavily damaged version of Spring Bonnie. The suit is a drab olive color, with darker colors on his stomach and the insides of his ears. A great portion of his right ear is missing, with a single red wire sticking out of the stump. Springtrap's entire body is torn and tattered, with gaping holes bearing exposed wires and caging throughout, making him appear much more macabre looking than any of the other animatronics. His green/brown/black nose has an irregular squarish shape due to deterioration. While both of Springtrap's hands and feet are attached and generally intact, his legs are entirely stripped from the mid-shin down, fully exposing the endoskeleton wiring and metal. Several of his finger joints from each hand are missing their suit overlays. The middle and little fingers of Springtrap's right hand are notably missing their fingertips. A single black button can be seen on the middle of his chest. If one looks closely at the large hole in Springtrap's chest (which is located under his button), William's broken body can be seen. Springtrap has a wide, permanent grin, as the material surrounding his teeth has deteriorated. His jaw can be seen moving on occasions.

Both of Springtrap's eyes are properly set inside of his head and appear to be pale gray in color. The eyes themselves as multiple blood-vessels can be seen in them. They also appear to be glowing, suggesting that William remains alive as a result of a paranormal event. Out of his whole body, only his head, bits of flesh and blood-vessels can be spotted. This is due to Scott not seeing a purpose in adding details in places not visible to the player during normal gameplay. His head can be seen more clearly in three rare-boot images depicting Springtrap trying to tear his own mask off.

As **Scraptrap**, Similar to Springtrap, Scraptrap is a yellowish rabbit, though he's considerably more worn and damaged, with holes throughout his body and wires poking out. His top jaw shows off buckteeth, with pointed fangs on his bottom jaw. With a severed forearm, no ears, and some suspiciously human-looking parts beneath his fur, Scraptrap is certainly a sight to behold. While he does retain some key physical details from Springtrap's design, there are some major differences. Unlike the previous design where his interior was mostly machinery, it is now almost entirely organic, and shows his human skeleton as well as flesh, with five bony fingers as his right hand. The reason as to why William is much more detailed this time is probably because his full body can be seen in one of the rare-boot screens. There are more torn patches in his suit with multiple metal-wires, and he has lost his left forearm, half his left ear, and the rest of his right ear. His feet now have fabric over them, with three large, round toes on each foot. His eyes no longer glow and now look completely metallic.

The mask also has significant differences, with much larger eye sockets, a black nose, a square muzzle, a singular pair of buck teeth at the top row and small sharp needle-like teeth at the bottom. Afton's mummified head is clean of blood, now with ears, thicker lips, rigged teeth, and a dimple. Upon closer inspection, there appears to be exposed muscle tissue on his forehead and cheeks.

As **Glitchtrap**, He is a virus replicating within The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience game. The virus appears as a man inside a Spring Bonnie animatronic, starting out as green, glitching code with purple eyes, and slowly becoming more solid. Glitchtrap seems capable of digital consciouness transference. He is a digital manifestation of William Afton.

Glitchtrap takes on the form of a man wearing a cartoonish Spring Bonnie costume based of Spring Bonnie’s appearance from a poster advertising Fredbear’s Family Diner - being a grinning, bipedal, golden-yellow rabbit. He is wearing a purple star-speckled vest, a purple bow tie, and two black buttons near the top of his chest. He also has stitches stretching across his waving hand. He initially appears translucent, progressing into a less-spectral form over time.

He also possesses vivid purple eyes with small pupils, which are the first thing visible when he starts to appear to the player's right. In Blacklight Mode, his eyes will turn blue with white, circular pupils. He also has large whiskers on each side of his face, three eyelashes on both of his eyes, and large arching eyebrows.

Glitchtrap was shown to be able to hack into the majority of the animatronics' systems to become hostile towards children like Gregory, and was even able to control Vanny.

As **Burntrap**, William appears as the final antagonist of Season 8 of the series, named **Burntrap**. This form is likely the result of Vanny somehow downloading William's digital consciousness from The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience into his old hybrid abomination of an animatronic suit, endoskeleton, and the little remains of his corpse.

Burntrap's new form appears to wear his old but modified tattered greenish-brown Spring Bonnie suit that has become even more severely withered, tattered and burned, with the entire lower jaw ripped out, revealing his skull, covered in blood with some burnt flesh remaining, and metallic black eyes with small purple pupils. The suit is missing fur, with exception of his chest, hips, left foot and upper left leg, which were all burned away, revealing more of his corpse's charred remains. His old endoskeleton seems to have been fixed using some parts from the new Glamrock Endoskeletons, rebuilding his left forearm and sharp claws.

## History

Before the series began, William Afton was a businessman, entrepreneur, and robotics engineer who founded Afton Robotics, LLC and co-founded Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. William was married to an unnamed wife and they had three children: their eldest son Michael Afton, their only daughter Elizabeth Afton, and their youngest unnamed son.

At some point before the year 1983, William met a man named Henry Emily and the two became good colleagues. In presumably 1982, they opened their first location together, Fredbear's Family Diner.

In 1983, the duo opened their second location together, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

In the first episodes of the series, Shadow Freddy controlled William's mind and murdered Henry's daughter, Charlotte Emily, outside of said establishment. After this incident occurred, Afton's youngest son, Crying Child was accidentally killed by Michael after being shoved into Fredbear's operating mouth, which crushed the child's skull. This caused Fredbear's Family Diner to close and for William to presumably gain an immense hatred over Michael for his malicious action.

A few days after the incident, Henry called William to come over to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for a talk about the murder of Henry's daughter. Henry heard that William killed his daughter and was furious at him and no longer friends.

2 years later, Shadow Freddy controlled him again and killed five children called Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, Fritz, and Cassidy at Freddy's wearing a Spring Bonnie costume. He was caught on camera and got arrested, but was apparently let go by the authorities, likely due to the bodies never being found, and thus leaving no concrete evidence to prove that he was culpable. This allowed him to get away with his horrific crime. However, the five children would later go on to possess the pizzeria's animatronics: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and the elusive Golden Freddy, with the help of the Puppet, who was possessed by Charlie. Shadow Freddy controlled William once again and controlled Springbonnie to dismantle the animatronics including The Puppet. Which made the pizzeria closed for 2 years.

During that 2 years, William hosts a private party for his own restaurant called Circus Baby's Pizza World with a new set of animatronics called the Funtime Animatronics. One in particular, Circus Baby, was seemingly made in honor of his daughter, Elizabeth. However, William didn't design these robots with the intent of entertainment, but to capture and kill children to obtain Remnant, a supernatural substance which he discovered from the haunted robots at Freddy's. It's presumed Afton wanted to use remnant in order to become immortal. Elizabeth was warned not to go anywhere near the animatronics, especially Circus Baby. However, she disobeyed his orders, which resulted in her death. This led to the cancellation of the pizzeria's grand opening and the incident to be masked as a gas leak.

William then opened Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, which is a service that lets customers rent out the Funtime Animatronics for private parties. He then sold the rights of his independent company to Fazbear Entertainment. At an unknown time period, William sent his son Michael into the facility to locate and "free" Elizabeth, whose spirit was possessing Baby.

In 1987, William heard that a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has opened, so he disguises as a security guard to kill more children. who are implied to haunt the Toy Animatronics (however, the toy animatronics might be powered by agony and the five kids who died were never brought up again). Afterwards, William once again vanished.

In 1993, William had his final plan, and it's to dismantle the original animatronics. So he went to a third Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Location, ready to dismantle them. However, he awoke the ghosts of the five children he murdered all those years ago and unintentionally freed them from their metal endoskeletons that trapped their souls. This resulted in them trying to attack William. Fleeing from the spirits, William escaped into the safe room where Spring Bonnie had been placed for storage. He donned the suit as a means to fool them.

In his arrogance, William stood and laughed at the ghosts while inside Spring Bonnie, believing that his plan had worked. However, the springlock mechanisms within Spring Bonnie went loose, resulting in the endoskeleton parts and gears to be sprung back into place with him inside, severely mutilating his body and causing his slow, agonizing, and ironic death, as he faced the same fate that befell his victims. William was then permanently trapped in the Spring Bonnie suit.

Three decades later, Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction was made as a homage to the Missing Children Incident and other incidents that made Fazbear Entertainment infamous. Employees found the withered Spring Bonnie animatronic in the old safe room and reused it for the attraction. There, William's corpse was reanimated inside the suit, allowing him to come back as **Springtrap**. He remained there for less than a week, stalking and hunting the night guard during the night, until the building burnt down.

Springtrap was later revealed to have survived the burning, as seen in the mid-credits scene in the end of the Fourth Season.

His fate after the fire was revealed in *Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator*. He left the remains of Fazbear's Fright, and because of the damage he sustained in the fire, he presumably repaired himself, becoming **Scraptrap**. He eventually ended up in the Back Alley outside Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, where he was brought in, salvaged, and later defeated in the burning of the pizzeria as part of Henry's (his old friend) revenge and ultimate plan, while the rest of the souls were laid to rest. Only two remained; William, and the vengeful spirit of Golden Freddy, Cassidy.

Afterwards, Cassidy refused to let William die, this was due to an act of revenge and punishment for his actions, the child trapped him in an artificial nightmare of his past, where apparitions of his creations and the many animatronics who held grudges against him proceeded to torture him for all eternity.

However, Shadow Freddy resurrect William, this time as a digital virus known as **Glitchtrap**, He later disappear Shadow Freddy out of existence to become more powerful than ever. But than the developers of The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience trapped him in their Virtual Game, and wanting to get out. During the time, he invaded the mind of a beta tester, who he brainwashed into committing his evil deeds at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex.

Residing in the remains of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, which was directly underneath the Mega Pizzaplex, William downloaded his soul into his old body in which he previously burned to death in. Vanny was able to repair and modify his original body, and after the transfer was complete, William regained his physical form and became **Burntrap**. He then saw two intruders, a child named Gregory and his companion Glamrock Freddy. William, somehow retaining his power from the digital realm to corrupt humans and objects through making contact with technology, attempted to take control of Glamrock Freddy through security monitors and sent the shattered and corrupted Glamrock Chica, Roxanne Wolf, and Montgomery Gator to kill Gregory. However, Gregory was able to reactivate the burning room trap in the old pizzeria that Henry used to kill William beforehand. William tried to exit to the building and pursue the escaping Glamrock Freddy and Gregory, but before he could do so, an animatronic amalgamation, called The Blob, grabbed him by the neck and dragged him away into the ceiling, leaving his fate unknown as of now.

## Personality

William Afton is the textbook definition of evil. He is the sadistic and depraved serial killer who sparked the downfall of his own company, Fazbear Entertainment. He murdered almost a dozen children in cold blood, and started the tragic chain of events that leads various players throughout the series.

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 beloved daughter Charlotte, an event which caused Henry immense emotional turmoil to the point where he nearly committed suicide. This alone shows that William is more than willing to harm his friends, whether it be mentally, emotionally, or physically.

## Appearances

### Human

William is a tall skinny man with a long neck and has glowing, white eyes, a yellow object on his chest which resembles a security badge, and holds a purple object, which is speculated to be a weapon or tool. it extends in his hand in a beckoning pose. He also has what appears to be bad posture, as his neck is always leaned forwards.

### Springtrap

Springtrap is a tattered, formerly yellow springlock animatronic rabbit with olive green tints, notably on his stomach and ear insides. Like with the Withered Animatronics from FNaF 2, Springtrap appears to be in heavy disrepair, evident by the multiple tears throughout his body and wires poking out of his arms and legs. He has one black button on his chest. Furthermore, Springtrap contains several pieces of human innards wrapped around his body. Upon close inspection, it is revealed that Springtrap is holding the corpse of William Afton, the man responsible for the Missing Children Incident.

### Scraptrap

Scraptrap has a very peculiar appearance and is a lot more damaged and withered than his first incarnation counterpart, but he has not changed much in color. He lacks the right part of his forearm, which ends in a bony spike. He also has large buck teeth on his upper jaw, though his lower jaw has smaller, needle-like teeth. His head appears to have had cheeks connecting his lower and upper jaw pieces in a manner similar to Toy Bonnie, but they seem to have either decayed or been torn off, exposing Afton's human head and ears underneath. His eyes are silver and glossy, with a single grey pupil in their centre, the left eyeball partially covered by a cable. Both of his ears are missing large portions of their upper halves, with the right lacking any suit covering. His forehead has a massive hole in it, exposing Afton's corpse, with strips of more red flesh covering parts of his face and body. Afton's corpse has blackened, metallic looking lips, the mouth filled with many small and sharp teeth and four cables.
His torso is blocky, specifically in the upper chest region, and filled with rips that expose more of his corpse, although he retains the singular button he had in the third game. The animatronic limbs are incredibly damaged, exposing bleached white bones amongst his flesh. He is also lacking suit kneecaps, which Springtrap had. Scraptrap has a pelvis with a lighter accent near the middle connecting to that on his chest, and isn't missing any fingertips on his right hand, which now end in sharp, bony claws as opposed to the costumed and metal fingertips he previously had. He also has Freddy Fazbear-like foot coverings which have strips of flesh on them, whereas in the third game, he wears a permanent grin with large, blocky teeth, was missing his middle fingertip on his right hand had a pelvis that was all of one colour, and no fur from the shins down.

### Glitchtrap

Glitchtrap is mainly golden yellow in color with lighter accents on his ears, torso and snout. His face is egg shaped with bright purple eyes, short eyelashes, and long, thin eyebrows. He has two black whiskers on either side of his snout and a large, grinning mouth sporting off-white teeth with two larger ones on top. He has a deep purple bow tie and a matching star speckled vest. He has two dark buttons below his bowtie. In the main lobby, he glows a ghostly green.
Unlike most of the animatronics, he appears more like a proper costume with no visible electronics. There's stitching along his hands, joints, and ears.
After the first tape is found, Glitchtrap's first form seems to be ghostly translucent, with a choppy animation, making his appearance hard to make out, other than having a completely green palette and glowing purple eyes. Collecting more tapes brings him closer, and collecting coins makes his appearance more solid and his animation more fluid.

### Burntrap

Just like Springtrap and Scraptrap, Burntrap is a withered Spring Bonnie animatronic infused with the corpse of William Afton. However, unlike the previous two, very little of the suit remains on his body, only having the head, ears, torso, pelvis, left thigh, and left foot. His endoskeleton appears to be a mixture of the springlock, glamrock and nightmare endoskeletons, as well as being infused with tendrils of burnt flesh, and his right hand having two skeletal fingers rather than robotic ones. Finally, the bottom half of Burntrap's mask is gone, revealing his decaying jaw.
