## History

### Before the Events of The Silver Eyes

Before the events of The Silver Eyes, Henry and William owned a small little restaurant known as *Fredbear’s Family Diner* with only two animationics, Fredbear (occasionally worn by Henry) and Spring Bonnie (occasionally worn by William).

He invented the springlock mechanism and sometimes he demonstrated the springs to his son and daughter, which he warned them that the locks are dangerous. In 1982, Henry and his business partner, William Afton, decide to open a restaurant called Fredbear's Family Diner, this restaurant had the spring system that Henry invented and used it in the suits. It can change between suit and animatronic. "Charlie" described him as being happy during the time of Fredbears, he let everyone be apart of the restaurant. The restaurant was forced to close due to someone disguised in one of the suits murdered Charlotte.

Some point after that, Henry couldn't handle life without Charlie, so he bought a rag-doll and cried over it for months, pretending it was her. Full of grief, he devolved into insanity and recreates her as a robot. He made four robots, each replicating his daughter's state of growth: toddler, child, teenager, and a full-grown adult. In addition, he uses the illusion discs, which makes the copies have the appearance of Charlie, if she was still alive. When he showed one of the Ella dolls to his sister Jen, she gets upset and tells him that he still has time to go with his lost family, which he slowly strayed away from. Even though he acknowledges his sister’s attempt to make him move on, he couldn’t. He was too absorbed in recreating his own daughter. When he reached Charlotte’s third stage of recreation, he realizes that he's gone mad and on her fourth one, was made full of rage and despair that he stopped building it and fully realized that he’ll never get his daughter back. He recorded his "daughters" memories from a tripod, which most were edited, embellished, and elaborated upon.

After that, he built toys for "Charlie". Even though that were unfinished toys, they were three finalized toys, Theodore and Stanely, and soon when "Charlie's" done with her toddler stage, Ella. While he built and Charlie played with her toys, the unfinished fourth robot at the corner of his workshop was staring at them, unknowingly with rage, Henry’s rage.

Years later, they decided to open another restaurant known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which have four new animatronics: Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. "Charlie" remembered her father building all of them in his workshop. Michael Brooks, one of his daughter's friends, along with four other children, were lured and murdered by William dressed in a yellow Freddy suit. This forced the closure of the pizzeria. Henry was suspected to be the murderer of the five children but was never convicted as Clay and the whole police department knew it wasn't him.

Henry was too grieved from everything that occurred to him: the loss of his daughter, his wife leaving him and taking their son along with her due to Henry’s insanity, then after Freddy’s, getting subsequently blamed for the disappearances of the five missing children, then only to realize that his business partner, William Afton, had killed them. He couldn’t handle the grief and decided to build a robot to end his life with.

Before ending his life, he wrote a note to his sister, saying that he can't accept his daughter's death, that he's done permanent damage to himself, and to keep the fourth closet shut and to demolish his house if done right.

On July of 1985, he committed suicide.
