## Biography

William B. Afton was a British-American male who served in the Vietnam War. He was credited as being a genius, having invented several contraptions for Fazbear's sister company, Afton Robotics, and was responsible for the Fazbear Massacre. He widowed after his spouse, Clara Afton (not a confirmed name) died in a car crash.

### Fazbear's

Shortly after being relieved of duty from the United States Army, William would often visit bars, restaurants, and arcades. William, recently finding his old childhood toys locked away, thought about combining the idea of a restaurant and an arcade. There was a notable lack of funding, and the budget he would need to afford was well out of his hands.

William would often pitch his ideas to other people, before Henry picked up the idea and agreed. William started working on sketches and land to buy for the establishment, while Henry would file out legal work. In 1978, Fazbear's Arcade and Buffet was opened to the public. Customers appreciated the art of the building, while engineers appreciated William's animatronics.

The company received well enough income to continue paying the bills before closing its doors in 1981 due to a malfunction with the animatronics (and a near fatal springlock suit incident) that the building had to close down to prevent any more lawsuits.

It wasn't until 1984 when the next establishment was open, with a larger budget and the help of more employees. The company received their highest revenue. Rooms would often be remodeled and changed, and weekly checks on the animatronics were in place. William soon adopted Michael and Charlotte to care for with his spouse, Henry.

It wasn't long before the Fazbear Massacre occurred, and the company fell into obscurity. Several other locations were opened, all of which failed to make enough revenue to keep open. In 1995, the company and Afton Robotics was retired. Henry soon killed himself after being revoked of custody for his children and a long line of neglect.

### Dave Miller

William later finally returned to the public after several years of disappearance under the pseudonym "Dave Miller", portrayed as a skinny, saggy man with cold dead eyes. He occasionally worked as a mall security guard, but soon settled on visiting the old restaurant from time to time. He was later killed by a fatal springlock incident and died at the age of 57, rotting in the safe-room for 30 years until he was finally discovered by excavators and placed in Fazbear's Fright, where he burned to death in a fire caused by a gas leak.

> "*First, the springlocks will release and dig into your skin, then the endoskeleton will crush and puncture your body and organs, and you will live a slow, painful death. Your lungs will fill up with blood, and the last thing you'll ever see is the inside of a contraption that you failed to understand.*"
