**Joe Thurgood** (c. 1950 – 1983), chef name **Papa Thurgood**, was an American restaurant owner from Hurricane, Utah, who ran Papa Thurgood's Family Diner as owner and chef. He was eaten by Ferdinand Von Bernard, leading to his restaurant going vacant and eventually being bought out by William Afton and Henry Emily.

## Biography

### Early life (19XX–1983)

Joe Thurgood was born on an unknown date **between the 1930s and January 1965**, either in United States, or someplace else, imigrating to America at a later point in life.

Once adult, he opened a restaurant called "Papa Thurgood's Family Diner" in Hurricane, Utah, taking the moniker of Papa Thurgood.

### Death (1983)

Sometime on **January 1983**, he was indirectly killed by William Afton and Henry Emily, letting Ferdinand Von Bernard loose onto the streets of Hurricane. He was eaten alive by the god-like robot, leaving his restaurant space vacant.

### Legacy

His death, photographed by Fritz Smith, lead to the Hurricane Police Department chasing Ferdinand out of town and presumably letting the world know about the existence of this newly created cryptid. None of the culprits behind Joe's death have ever been punished for their crimes.

Papa Thurgood's Family Diner was soon after bought by William Afton and Henry Emily, leading to the creation of Fredbear's Family Diner and Fazbear Entertainment.

## Physical description

During his death, he was shown wearing a tall chef's hat.

## Personality and traits

Nothing is known about Joe's personality, though from his chef name it can be assumed he is a nice, fatherly man.

## Relationships

### Ferdinand Von Bernard

**Ferdinand Von Bernard** is the being who killed and ate Joe, becoming his only known enemy.

## Speculation

* Joe's chef name of "Papa Thurgood" may suggest he had children, with papa being a pet name for a father.

## Powers and skills

### Abilities

* **Cooking** - Joe's cook attire implies ability to prepare meals.

## Etymology

### Joe Thurgood

* **Joe** (/dʒoʊ/) is a diminutive of **Joseph**, a male given name derived from the Hebrew name *Yosef*, meaning "may he add" or "God will increase". Yosef finds its roots in ancient Semitic languages with *Yāsēp*, having traversed through various cultures and languages, finding cognates in Aramaic, Arabic *Yusuf*, and other Semitic tongues. Its journey led it to the Greek *Iōsēph* and subsequently to the Latin form *Iosephus*. In English-speaking societies, Joseph's prominence was solidified through religious and cultural influences. It became a mainstay among various Christian denominations and retained its universal appeal. Its other diminutive forms in English include *Joey*/*Joie*, *Joss, Jos*, *Josy*/*Josie*, *Josey*/*Josie*, *Jody*, *Jep*, *Jojo*, Joz*o*, *Joso*, *Joep*, *Seph*, *Sephy*/*Sephie* and *Pepe*, with the female forms being *Josephine*, *Josphine*, *Josefina* and *Josèphe*. The name was likely chosen as its Spanish/Portuguese cognate José is one of the most common and stereotypical names of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.
* **Thurgood** (American: /ˈθɜːrɡʊd/; British: /ˈθɜːˌɡʊd/) is an English surname with origins rooted in the Old English language. The name is believed to be a toponymic surname, deriving from the combination of two Old English elements: "thorn," represented by the element *þorn*, and "enclosure" or "enclosed space," represented by the element *gōd*. The name's etymology suggests a meaning that aligns with "enclosed space with thorn plants" or "thorn-covered enclosure," likely being a habitation surname from a difficult to pinpoint location. It might have been chosen for the character, to foreshadow his death between Ferdinand's cosmically sharp fangs.

### Papa Thurgood

* **Papa** (American: /ˈpɑpə/; British: /pəˈpɑː/) is "papa" is a term of endearment and familiarity used to refer to a father figure or an older man in various languages, often within a family context. This term has its origins in early childhood speech patterns and is often one of the first sounds made by infants when attempting to communicate. Over time, "papa" has been widely recognized and adopted across cultures as a term for addressing or referring to a fatherly figure. In the context of nicknames like "Papa John," the prefix "Papa" serves to evoke a sense of familiarity, warmth, and approachability. It establishes a connection between the individual and the idea of a friendly, caring figure, potentially drawing on the notion of a paternal or elder presence. This use of "Papa" in commercial settings, like "Papa Thurgood's Family Diner," aims to create a brand persona that is welcoming and personable, inviting customers to feel at home and comfortable.
* **Thurgood** (American: /ˈθɜːrɡʊd/; British: /ˈθɜːˌɡʊd/) is just Joe's surname.

## Behind the Scenes

* Joe seems to be a reference to something, though it is hard to say what that is.
	+ One possibility is that he is a reference to Papa John's.
		- This being due to their chef names both containing "Papa" prefix and both being Americans.
		- It could explain why William and Henry decided to sell pizza in particular, having already had equipment for its preparation after buying out the vacated restaurant.
	+ Another suggestion is it being a reference to Auguste Gusteau from Pixar's film Ratatouille,
		- This is because the character is sometimes referred to as Papa Gusteau.
		- His French origin could explain the reason behind Joe's facial hair, as big natural style moustaches are a common French stereotype.

## Trivia

* Joe is the first character introduced in the Objective and True timeline, to show up on screen in the Undeniably Canon timeline.
* Joe becomes William Afton's first known victim, albeit indirectly.
