### Status

Deceased

**Eric 'Liam' Smith** is the main protagonist of Jolly 2 for the first 6 nights, the soul inhabiting Withered Jolly in both chapters of Jolly 3 and the creator of Classic Jolly, Classic George and the Antonette/Metalionette.

## Personality

Based on what we see from gameplay, he is a considerate and kind-hearted man, caring deeply for his daughter. He is also shown to be cowardly, not being able to stop William from killing his daughter. He is, however, very determined, surviving against the animatronics and still coming back in the hopes of finding his daughter.

## Background

Eric was a mechanic who worked for Fazbear Entertainment in the 1980's. Using parts from Fazbear's, he built Classic Jolly and Classic George. Since he was not authorised to do this, he ended up being fired, while his animatronics were handled to the newly-formed Jolly Entertainment.

He then began working on Antonette, a rough design similar to the Marionette. After showing an unfinished version of it to Fazbear Entertainment, he was rehired, and allowed to Fazbear Entertainment patent the animatronic.

Eric's daughter, Zoey Smith, was one of the children targeted by William Afton. She was murdered by William, while Eric helplessly watched. He was fired again, most likely because he had failed to stop William, and his wife blamed him for his daughter's death, likely for the same reason.

After Eric heard rumours that there being ghosts haunting the animatronics, he decided to track them down, hoping to find his daughter's soul. Using the alias "Liam", he applied to work as a nightguard on the cargo ship which was transferring the animatronics to the |AJMF. Once he returned home, he and his wife got into an argument about a divorce. He was followed by her wife into the ship, but the latter was killed by the Antonette due to exposed wiring.

Eric himself died sometime later after hiding in the Classic Jolly suit (which was a springlock suit) and being springlocked. All the animatronics in there were dumped into the Afton-Johnson Manufacturing Facility after 1 nightshift with a new hire.

In Jolly 3: Chapter 1, Jack Carson triggers the security system, and on Night 3, Jolly activates, due to both being rigged to the security system and the lighting.

He does the same in J3:C2, however he takes off the head of his suit for an unknown reason. He is crushed in the collapse of J3 C2, however is recovered from the wreckage and moved off the premises.
