Henry Miller

**"***One day... You will know the Joy of Creation.***"**
— **Henry Miller**

* DSaF 2
* DSaF 3

**Henry Miller** is the overarching antagonist of the Dayshift at Freddy's trilogy, being a posthumous character throughout all three games.

He is described nonliterally by Dave Miller, as "devil incarnate". He views himself as the "protagonist" of the world, and thus believes he cannot lose in the long run.

Though he is a posthumous character throughout the entire trilogy, he serves as the unseen overarching antagonist of Dayshift at Freddy's, the overarching antagonist of Dayshift at Freddy's 2: Electric Boogaloo, and the main antagonist of Dayshift at Freddy's 3.

In the third game, he can either be the final boss (if Jack proceeds towards the Good Ending), or the voice in Jack's head (if Jack proceeds towards the Evil Ending). Overall, he is trapped in the Void, a purgatory in the deepest part of the Flipside throughout the entire game.

## Information

Henry used to work alongside William Afton back at Fredbear's Family Diner. William would kill kids at Fredbear's and Henry would kill kids at Freddy's so that Freddy's could never overtake them. However the Fazbender company eventually bought out Fredbear's and the Fredbear character. He had killed numerous adults, too, such as Peter, who nudged the springlocks in his suit after informing Henry he is not to bring children in the Safe Room.

Henry is also responsible for the Freddy blowtorch urinal incident and the death of the main protagonist Jack.

There is a cutscene in DSaF 2 where he walks into a room with a child's body in his hands, and stuffs it into a suit. Just as he's about to leave, he sees Jack and laughs at him after he asks for help. Then the cutscene ends.

In the third game, it is revealed that he used to own a circus. He also has cassette tapes. To obtain the cassette tapes, you must upgrade the office and buy the filing cabinet. You will have enough money to do this. Just upgrade the office as the first thing, then customize the other part of the pizzeria if you wish to do so.

### Backstory

Henry was born in 1925, and grew up in Portsmouth, Virginia. Henry was a sickly child, growing up in the suburbs of Portsmouth. Henry grew up with one major parental role, a father figure. Henry’s father, Charles Miller, was a strict, authoritarian man with a number of bad habits, mainly, drinking.

Henry, as a child, was ambitious, soon seeing his father as a hick and a waste of potential. Henry enjoyed reading, and assembling small toys to play with in his father’s workshop. Henry delivered papers in the 30′s, as a way of keeping himself, and his drunken father alive and fed. Henry and his dad frequently argued over how to spend money, namely, how much went towards Charles' medicine. Henry resented the man more and more as time went on. Henry, ever the avid reader, began reading the papers he was delivering as he became a teenager, keeping up to date on world politics.

America announced that they were joining the Allied war effort 2 months after Henry’s father passed away due to liver failure. While Henry was initially relieved to finally have the house to himself, he never quite felt that to be the case. The place always felt… inhabited to him. Henry left to join the army, knowing they’d find a role for him, and that it’d get him away from the house and life that now felt like a prison more than ever.
Henry became involved in the war effort as a mechanic, originally as a repair grunt on battlefields, but later, once he showed his usefulness, behind allied lines, designing artillery, back at Portsmouth, Virginia. Henry’s heart grew colder as the war continued, from the realization that with every weapon he created, every turret he assembled, men behind enemy lines would die. However, by refusing to work, or sabotaging his own designs, he would ensure that men on his team would die. Henry slowly developed a Machiavellian way of seeing the world. Many of Henry’s later designs were rejected for “humanitarian” reasons. Henry never stopped seeing those faces in his dreams.

When the war ended in ‘45, things were worse than when he signed up to work for the US army. With every other soldier returning home, he struggled to find a job, despite having a natural affinity for mechanical engineering. The factory he worked for previously no longer made artillery, and many of Henry’s former supervisors were glad to see him go, and replaced with fresh blood, due to Henry’s designs and ideas taking a toll on them.

Taking the opportunity to use the army’s scholarship at his disposal (doubly so, due to his redundancy), Henry decided to attend Dartmouth College with an army scholarship, while working part time at a local restaurant to pay bills. Henry met Martha Miller (nee. Jones) at Darthmouth college, sitting in front of him in a Mechanics lecture.

Henry, while studying for his masters degree, heard flickering on the radio in the old car. As he changed the channels, he made out two voices, both arguing for prominence, on different wavelengths. Namely, a voice belonging to a woman who was weeping, and that of a choking infant. Henry connected the dots instantly and identified the two voices. When Henry’s time to work on his Master’s Thesis arrived, he knew exactly what to name it. “The Joy of Creation.” The book connected souls with machinery, when flesh became intertwined with physical matter and presented souls as a wavelength, having energy and being able to occupy space, using theoretical physics to explain Electronic Voice Phenomena and define life beyond the current system involving the 9 pre-defined characteristics of life.

While Henry was initially given an honourary doctorate from the university for his research, he never actually managed to command the spirits to perform reliably when being nominated for a Nobel Prize, and needing to recreate his own research. Henry’s research was hereby determined by scientific minds as pseudoscience, and his doctorate was revoked (although, to the day he disappeared, always wrote his own name as “DOCTOR Henry Miller”, viewing his own research as legitimate, and the revoking of his doctorate as a grievous insult.) (This is also the origin of Henry’s control complex with souls, admitting in his logs to using electrical shocks to control souls with fear.)

Miller left the town shortly after this, leaving for South Carolina, to respond to a job opportunity that had been presented to Henry, following the public release of his book. While Henry traveled south, Henry’s family home, and the final resting place of Henry’s father, Charles Miller, mysteriously burned down from an unknown arson attack.

## Appearance

Henry is overweight and has pink/salmon (byzantine) skin. He has black dead eyes with white pupils and a big mouth. His eyes glow in one of the cutscenes. Henry also wears a name tag.

In the cutscenes, he has teeth and red rosy cheeks. Henry also wears an orange suit with a yellow tie.

## Dayshift at Freddy's 3

### The End

If Jack manages to save the toddler from DaveTrap and set his pizzeria ablaze, Jack's team (which consists of the Puppet, Dave, Steven, Peter, and Blackjack) will travel to the deepest part of the Flipside where they fight Henry. Even though Henry kills most of the team members, Jack revives them and they kill Henry, where he will never return.

### "Evil Route"

Once DaveTrap has taken JackTrap to the Fazbunker, Henry will control Jack's Mind and kill Dave.

Henry will then appear in front of JackTrap and will tell him that William is finally gone and that he tried to save him when he got springlocked at Fredbear's, Henry will then tell the player to become his partner and show the world the Joy of Creation.

## Trivia

* He uses the WillBadGuy voice from the text-to-speech service provided by Acapela Group.
* Henry probably has some sort of "main character syndrome." This can be noticed in the DSaF 3 "The End" where, after defeat, Henry will be confused on how he was defeated, stating that he "is the protagonist"
* Henry's appearance is based on the "Pink Guy" sprite from *Five Nights at Freddy's 2*'s *Foxy Go! Go! Go!* minigame, which is actually just the Purple Guy with a more pinkish shade of purple.[source?]
* Overall, Henry's role is based on the *Five Nights at Freddy's* "Color Brothers" theory. Back when the Purple Guy and Pink Guy were not yet confirmed to be the same person, people assumed that they were two different people with Pink Guy being the leader as well as a mad scientist and Purple Guy the follower.
* Although he is the counterpart to Henry Emily, his characterization and personality is more like the canonical William Afton, being established as a mad scientist and serial killer obsessed with the afterlife. He also states Afton's catchphrase at the end of the Evil Route, and attempts to say it at the end of the Good Ending.
* Henry is not undead, his skin is just naturally pink, possibly due to a very flushed complexion.
* In one of the cutscenes Henry's nameplate says "Henry E.", which is presumably short for Henry Emily, aka his name in the original Five Nights at Freddy's series. This may indicate that either Miller or Emily was a fake surname used by him (speculation, as killers often use fake names). or a reference to the FNaF Henry
* It's implied that before Henry started up Fredbear's Family Diner he was still killing people, as Dave said "People tended to turn up missing in towns the circus reached." But pinned it on the lion tamer. This could possibly be a reference to John Wayne Gacy, as he also "even had a clown persona that he'd don occasionally! Got on really well with kids!", and is similarly overweight.
* There is a DSAF Tale about what happened to Henry after his defeat by doggo on Tumblr.
