William Afton mocking Mike after violently beating him up William Afton, also known by as the 'Purple' Guy or his split identity The Springtrap is the main antagonist of the original series of Five Nights at Freddy's. A extremely dangerous and vile individual, Afton was a serial killer who believed that abducting and murdering small children would allow him to almost 'absorb' their life essence and allow him to become immortal and thus never have to face death, as he seemingly developed a unbearable fear of dying after witnessing the deaths of his two children Elizabeth Afton and his Unnamed son. This delusion however, was nothing but a case of severe, longlasting psychosis, and the murdered children only went on to possess the Animatronics at his pizza establishment. Advertisement History In the early 1970's, Afton and his friend and business partner, Henry Emily, created the company Fazbear Entertainment and opened Fredbear's Family Diner. Henry designed, manufactured, and built two Springlock Suits (Spring Bonnie and Fredbear), and later the four main animatronic entertainers for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy), while William would handle the business's paperwork, management and finances. In the building's first years, Afton would dress as Spring Bonnie, a Springlock Suit which depicted a large androgynous yellow rabbit. He would wear it inside the pizzeria, via using a hand crank to move the inner springlocks of the suit away from his face, chest, arms and legs, as not doing so would lead to his impalement inside the suit. He would often brag about how he could perform effortlessly while using it, being very proud and flamboyant as he did so. Some people claimed the character that he so loved to portray was more alive than he was. One night in 1983, Henry's daughter, Charlotte Emily, would be left outside the diner, and William seized the opportunity to kill her. Later that year, his younger son was accidentally killed by the Older Brother of his two sons, who had put his head in Fredbear's mouth to terrify him when the jaw clamped shut. Two years later, around June 26th, 1985, Afton would abduct and murder five children by luring them into a backroom, dressed as Spring Bonnie. When suspicion arose, he hid their corpses to avoid getting caught, likely in the animatronics. The police would arrest Afton, but let him go due to a lack of evidence and the bodies never being found. This caused the spirits of the dead children to become vengeful and possess the animatronics to take revenge. After the first location closed due to bankruptcy, William Afton left Fazbear Entertainment, later briefly returning once under an alias. Some years later, William would create the company Afton Robotics, and set up a new location, called Circus Baby Pizzeria with a new cast of animatronics called the Funtime Animatronics. However, this location would shut down even before it opened due to a supposed "gas leak." In reality, multiple children were sent into the building and most, if not all, were subsequently murdered by the Funtime Animatronics. William's only daughter, Elizabeth Afton, was part of the group of children sent in, and was killed by Circus Baby. Following this disaster, William would rebrand the restaurant into Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, renting out the Funtime animatronics to private parties. Many years later, Afton returned to the third establishment of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza when it had long been abandoned in order to destroy the Classic Animatronics for an unknown reason. Initially, it was thought he had done so out of paranoia, however it has become hotly debated as to why, with some believing he was after their Remnant. Nonetheless, this freed the spirits of the children inside, and they swarmed their killer. Physically unable to harm him, they chased and cornered Afton in the backroom, where the same rabbit suit that he wore to kill them was left. He hurriedly put on the suit in order to fool them, forgetting it was damaged by rain and time at this point. Afton laughed at his victims, believing he was untouchable and had gotten away again. However, due to his shaky movements and moisture dripping down from the damaged roof, the springlocks of the costume failed, with Afton inside. Every part of his body was impaled and bludgeoned into pieces, and he dropped to the floor twitching in shock, where he lay, bleeding out and dying as the children passed away. Sometime after, the room was boarded up by an unknown person, presumably Henry Emily. Afton was left there to rot for the next 30 years until, sometime after his demise, Afton awoke, alone and decomposing. Due to his iron will to live and the Remnant in his suit, Afton was still alive but permanently encased inside. In the year of 2023, he was found by the organisers of Fazbear's Fright and put inside the horror attraction based on the infamous past of the Freddy Fazbear brand. Now free, he abandoned his old identity and accepted his new form, calling himself Springtrap. Springtrap is a Springlock Suit containing Afton's mutilated face and body crammed inside. He stalked the guard of the horror attraction until the place caught fire, damaging Springtrap's appearance. The guard escaped but left Springtrap inside. Eventually, the flames were extinguished, but he was nowhere to be seen. Later, Afton seemingly rebuilt himself out of scrap, turning into the abomination that is Scraptrap. Henry, seeing all of the destruction William had caused, decided to put an end to his legacy once and for all. With help from Michael Afton, William's son, he and multiple other animatronics were lured to a 'fake' restaurant that was rigged to combust and burn down, the walls set to fall down inwards to trap everything inside as the fire burned. After all of them were inside, Henry set the building on fire, berating Scraptrap, condemning him to "the darkest pit of Hell". Michael, finally at peace, allowed himself to be consumed by the flames, and so did Henry after apologizing to his daughter held inside Lefty, who was Afton's first victim. Scraptrap is last seen frantically clawing at the closing door, locking him inside as he is devoured by the flames when the building collapses. Little is known about Afton's fate after this point. Some speculate that Golden Freddy, possessed by a Vengeful Spirit, now harbours William's soul, tormenting him for eternity by forcing him to fend off the animatronics he and Henry created, again and again, forever. Others posit that he, deservedly, is indeed now in Hell, burning forever. Advertisement Physical Appearance Human Outside of the 2023 Movie, Afton's real appearance is never shown. He is described as a tall, thin, malnourished looking man with a scruffy suit on, with fairly unkempt hair and yellow teeth. The most detail William has shown is during the SAVETHEM Death minigame, in which he is revealed to be a tall skinny man with a long neck and has glowing, white eyes, a yellow object on his chest which resembles a security badge, and holds a purple object, which is speculated to be a weapon, tool, phone, or hand, extending in a beckoning pose. He also would later have what appears to be bad posture, as his neck is sometimes seen leaning forwards. It is heavily implied that his true appearance is the same as his counterpart in the novels, as he ultimately became sallow and thin with a poorly shaven face, messy brown hair, saggy skin, and the appearance of a middle-aged man, as well as having lifeless grey eyes. Springtrap In his animatronic form of Springtrap, the 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, intermingled with the exposed wires and caging throughout, making him appear much more macabre-looking than any other animatronic from any of the previous installments in the series. His blackish green-brown nose has an irregular squarish shape due to deterioration. While both of Springtrap's hands and feet are attached and generally intact, with his human feet presumably inside, his legs are entirely stripped from the mid-shin down, fully exposing the endoskeleton wiring, metal, and rotting flesh. 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 (this is no longer the case for his model in future games). 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 Afton's broken yet somehow still alive 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 jump scare, on cam 15, his first rare-boot, along with Scott Cawthon's "Thank You!" image. Springtrap's endoskeleton feet appear wedge-shaped, with each sporting five toes. As of the 8th of October, 2016, images of an early Springtrap model show his visible endoskeleton torso in the shape of an upside-down triangle, and having six "ribs", which appear to be similar to human ribs. Both of Springtrap's eyes are properly set inside of his head, and appear to be pale gray in color. The eyes themselves have multiple blood-vessels visible. They also appear to be glowing, suggesting that William Afton remains alive as a result of Remnant. Out of his whole body, only his head and bits of flesh and blood-vessels can be seen. This is due to Scott not seeing a purpose in adding details in places not visible to the player during normal gameplay. His head can be seen more clearly in three rare-boot images depicting Springtrap trying to tear his own mask off. Only after completing every FollowMe minigame would it be known to the player that this is actually William Afton, as the last minigame shows him getting impaled and dying in the suit. In the Sister Location Custom Night cutscene, Springtrap appears much the same as his original design from the third game, although he seems to be missing a few animatronic parts (such as the pelvis and hip which exposes his endoskeleton pelvis and complete lack of veins and arteries), and an extra few rips and tears, showing that his appearance has fallen into further disrepair. From his half-torn right ear, the red wire appears to be cut off. His back from the lowest part of his torso is chopped off. Blood "vessel-tubes" at the front of his neck are missing as well. His pupils, however, are not glowing white, unlike from the third game, though this could just be the angle and lighting. He is most likely damaged from the fire. The rest of Springtrap's features, however, are difficult to locate clearly due to being covered partly by darkness or out of shot. This burned version of Springtrap is colloquially known as Dark Springtrap. As seen in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Springtrap also walks and crawls with a limp. The arm joints also appear to be loose, though this may simply be due to the deteriorated condition of the original suit. Help Wanted also alters his general design, the suit itself being a lighter color. The biggest change between the Help Wanted model and the original is the body of William Afton. The eyes are now bright green with black pupils, looking more animatronic than human this time. While the corpse's head is a dark purple in color, the rest of the flesh on the body is a dark brown. Parts of the flesh are missing, such as the strands of flesh on the lower legs, or the flesh that goes from the torso to the pelvis. His endoskeleton is rustier, and seems slightly less detailed. Springtrap's design in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery is a lot closer to the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 design, with some very slightly different textures from his original look. The biggest difference is William Afton's mouth, which is shown to move alongside his jaw. Like most other Special Delivery animatronics, the more damage Springtrap takes, the more broken he is, gaining more dark burn and dirt marks over time. Scraptrap William Afton returned once again in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator with a new design, dubbed Scraptrap by fans; this name is made official in Security Breach as the title of an arcade machine he stars in. While he does retain some key physical details from Springtrap's design, there are major differences. Unlike the previous design where his interior was mostly machinery, it is now almost entirely organic, and shows his human skeleton as well as flesh, with five bony fingers as his right hand. The reason as to why William Afton is much more detailed this time is probably because his full body can be seen in one of the rare-boot screens. There are more torn patches in his suit with multiple metal-wires, and he has lost his left forearm, half his left ear, and the rest of his right ear. His feet now have fabric over them, with three large, round toes on each foot. His eyes no longer glow and now look completely metallic. The mask also has significant differences, with much larger eye sockets, a black nose, a square muzzle, a singular pair of buck teeth at the top row and small sharp needle-like teeth at the bottom. Afton's mummified head has turned pale in color, now with ears, thicker lips, rigged teeth and a dimple. He appears to have exposed muscle tissue on his cheeks, and brain matter poking out from his forehead. Personality Although seeming very cryptic at first, William's character traits and nature can be seen via silent actions within retro-graphics and by reading between the lines throughout the games. Note: Discussion of suicide. William Afton is depicted as the textbook definition of evil. He is the sadistic serial killer who sparked the downfall of his own company, Fazbear Entertainment, having murdered over a dozen children in cold blood, and started the tragic chain of events that leads the players throughout the series. It is heavily implied that William's true motive is to gain the secret of immortality and live eternally alongside fulfilling his cruel and sadistic pleasures. Judging from 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 only daughter Charlotte, an event which caused Henry immense emotional turmoil to the point where he was considering suicide. This shows that William does not care even for his friends, and is more than willing to harm them, whether it be mentally, emotionally, or physically. As shown in every minigame he appears in, he always smiles 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, Glitchtrap, who is representing Afton, can be seen dancing gleefully after murdering the victim, taunting them while they are trapped inside of a robotic suit, helpless and unable to do anything but watch. Both of these examples show that William is extremely ruthless and sadistic and appears to take delight, satisfaction, and pride in the murder of innocent people while watching his victims suffer in agony, especially when said victims are mere children. One of William's voice lines in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator suggest that he is opportunistic and will proceed with his intentions, regardless of the risks. Heard in the opening cutscene of Sister Location, William can exhibit a rather calm and neutral personality, but this is likely a façade to hide his true intentions and evil mindset, showing that he is a manipulator and seemingly the
