William Afton

*Want to learn more about William Afton and his role in the original FNAF franchise?*

## Overview

**William Afton**, otherwise commonly referred to as **Springtrap** is a major "Ally" in Aftonbuilt and a undead animatronic corpse that requires remnant to stay functional.

## Appearance

Afton's 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 from any previous installments in the series. 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, such as during his second jumpscare.

## Personality

### Aftonbuilt Appearances

William Afton has a calm, neutral personality. We first get to be introduced to Afton after connecting Afton's consciousness to the Personal Assistant Device. He is surprised and claims to have "poor communication skills" after being in the Spring Bonnie suit for three decades or more even. Afton then informs us about how he is in a dysfunctional state, and requires means to walk among people again. He makes a deal with The Mechanic to help him restore his body, in return for power and immortality. It is presumed that Afton is manipulating us into repairing him, just to betray us at the very ending of the game (which will never happen, as the game will never update after a bug fix update.)

### Five Nights At Freddy's Franchise

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 that 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. As shown in every minigame he appears in, he always smiles in an unhinged manner during his killings, and in the "Pizza Party" minigame in *Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted*, which appears to be a recreation of one of Afton's murders, William (In his Glitchtrap incarnation) can be seen dancing gleefully after murdering his victim, taunting them while they are trapped inside of a robotic suit and suffering a slow and painful death. This example shows that William is extremely ruthless, taunting, and sadistic, and appears to take delight, satisfaction, and pride in the murder of innocent people and savors watching his victims suffer in agony, especially when his victims are mere children. One of William's voice lines in *Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator* suggests that he is opportunistic and will proceed with his intentions, regardless of the risks.
