William Afton, better known as the Purple Guy among many other names, is the main antagonist of the 5 Nights at Freddy's franchise.

He was the co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment, the business concern partner of Henry Emily, and the father of Michael Afton, Elizabeth Afton, the Crying Child and the Big Brother (the lattermost of whom is likewise implied to be a younger Michael). He helped Henry plant Fredbear'due south Family Diner and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, as well as managing the establishments while Henry congenital the animatronic mascots of the pizzerias. Despite being a successful businessman, Afton led a double life as a series killer who murdered many children across several Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizza locations in the 1980s, including Henry's own daughter, Charlotte. At i point in his life, he founded Afton Robotics, LLC and created the Funtime Animatronics, which were fabricated to capture and kill children.

Sometime after 1993, after making the fatal error of destroying the archetype animatronics and accidentally freeing the ghosts of his victims, Afton attempted to protect himself with the former, withered Spring Bonnie suit, the same used for his murders. Notwithstanding, the suit's springlock mechanisms failed and its suppressed endoskeleton fatally crushed him, transforming him into the undead human-animatronic hybrid, Springtrap. Thirty years afterwards, he would repair himself and become Scraptrap after narrowly surviving the fire that destroyed the edifice he was moved to. He was then lured to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place by Henry, where he would attempt to kill Michael with the help of his daughter and creations, simply to be burnt by Henry alongside everyone else remaining in the pizzeria. Despite this, Afton survived incineration due to being mentally trapped by the vengeful spirit of ane of his victims, Cassidy, in his nightmares, preventing him from truly dying.

Eventually, Cassidy left Afton in the burned ruins of the pizzeria, allowing for him to be reconstructed by his acolyte Vanny into his electric current form of Burntrap as he connected his malicious machinations for the newly-opened Freddy Fazbear's Mega PizzaPlex above the pizzeria'south remains. Outside of this, he likewise seemingly posed as the voice of his youngest son'southward Fredbear Plush toy in the past, a digital counterpart of him named Glitchtrap exists within Fazbear Entertainment's networks, and his Springtrap class that has various copies and counterparts made by the Fazbear Funtime Service.

He is voiced by PJ Heywood, who likewise voices his aforementioned son Michael, every bit a human and as Springtrap/Scraptrap, and by Matthew Curtis, who also voices Music Man, as Burntrap, though nigh of his lines take yet to be used in-game as of now.

Variants

Afton is as well the main antagonist of the not-canon novel trilogy continuity. In the main storyline of the Fazbear Frights anthology novel series, he appears as the overarching adversary, and there is also an organic creature that replicates his murders. There are likewise versions of him that appear in independent stories.

Information technology's too very likely that he'll take counterparts in both the upcoming motion picture and Five Nights at Freddy's Plus, a remake of the kickoff game which is part of the Fazbear Fanverse project. A version of him called Simon Fitzgerald volition too appear in another Fanverse game, POPGOES Evergreen, aslope a robotic recreation of him.

Appearance

"	They didn't... recognize at first simply then, they thought I was you.	„
	~ Michael Afton to his father, confirming that the 2 look similiar.

William Afton

Since William Afton is only ever seen while alive in some of the flashback minigames, it is hard to pin down his exact appearance. In these minigames, he is represented with the size and meridian of an developed human about as tall as the animatronics (sometimes taller), with his sprite color ranging from various tones of purple depending on the minigame, although he was pink in ii minigames and possibly orange in one. Information technology is worth noting that he appears purple because he'south only hiding in the shadows, non considering he's actually purple.

A night guard-style homo from promotional art for a *Five Nights at Freddy's* ride, who may exist William.

Sometimes Afton is depicted equally wearing a yellow accompaniment on his chest, presumably a badge. It has been speculated that the reason for this is that he may accept been a security guard at some signal. The minigame "Salvage THEM" and some telephone calls from Five Nights at Freddy'due south 2 heavily imply this.

A businessman-style man seen in the cutscenes for *Freddy Fazbear'south Pizzeria Simulator*, who may be William.

The only confirmed attribute of his appearance is that he has a cleft chin, as shown with his decayed corpse within of Springtrap in 5 Nights at Freddy's 3 and Freddy Fazbear'southward Pizzeria Simulator. This has led to some speculation, as Fazbear Entertainment is represented by a homo dressed in a purple (and in some cases, orange) suit and hat in diverse cutscenes of Freddy Fazbear'south Pizzeria Simulator, a human who also has a cleft mentum. Whether or not this man actually is William has non been confirmed, simply it is possible due to them both supposedly having fissure chins, beingness represented by the colour royal, and possibly orange.

In Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, a yellow effigy appears in the "Midnight Motorist" minigame. This figure is theorized to be William, who was recolored to presumably avoid defoliation due to Michael'southward decayed zombie sprite colour being the aforementioned equally his begetter'due south.

As represented past the motion-picture show on the left, concept art for a Five Nights at Freddy's-themed nighttime ride could reveal Afton's look, with the man on the concept art having an evil grin, beingness a guard, and existence represented by majestic.

Judging by most of his depictions (likewise as his book counterpart), information technology'south highly likely that William has dark brown hair.

Springtrap/Spring Bonnie

30 years after his decease, Afton's corpse still wears the rotting Spring Bonnie adjust, unable to take it off. Now known by the proper name Springtrap, the suit has decayed to a sickly olive color and the many holes and tears expose parts of the rusted metal endoskeleton. His mouth has rotted into a permanent wide grin, the teeth being chipped and yellowing. His human-like optics are a pale gray and he's missing the elevation half of his right ear, likewise as the casing on his feet.

Rare boot-upward screens for the game show glimpses of Afton's almost mummified skull inside of Springtrap'southward mask. His oral cavity has been permanently speared open by metal rods and his eyes are organic and veiny, the springlocks stabbed into his eyelids and holding them open in a gruesome style. What appears to exist human innards tin also be seen wrapped around the endoskeleton through large hole in the torso.

Prior to its withering, the Spring Bonnie suit was an optimized version of the Bonnie the Bunny animatronic, only with aureate yellow material fur and a springlock endoskeleton. Judging by posters plant in Security Breach, the animatronic also wore a purple bow tie and had violet eyes.

Skins

In Five Nights at Freddy'southward AR: Special Delivery, he was given iv skins named Toxic Springtrap, Flaming Springtrap, Clown Springtrap, and simply Curse respectively. Toxic Springtrap is covered in purple veins and pustules, Flaming Springtrap is simply on fire, Clown Springtrap is wearing a red and black clown outfit that gives the impression of obesity and wields an oversized hammer, and Curse is a blueish-colored Springtrap with Aztec-inspired armor and blue-feathers beyond his torso, jaguar-like markings on his hands (which also prove claws), pelvis, and legs, and wields a gold shield.

Scraptrap

In Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizzeria Simulator, Springtrap has been damaged even farther from the fire that consumed Fazbear'south Fright. Now known as Scraptrap, what was left of the blood-stained endoskeleton is now only his rotten mankind and bones remaining. He seems to accept attempted to repair himself with parts of another Leap Bonnie arrange, only his ears have deteriorated to the point that merely his left stub remains and part of his left arm is missing, a skeletal spear replacing it.

Burntrap

Henry's burn has damaged the Spring Bonnie conform even more than information technology already was. Burntrap is missing the low jaw of his mask altogether, revealing Afton'southward rotting skull underneath. His eyes accept been replaced with nighttime robotic alternatives, which flash a bright purple. His lower torso is missing, due to the fire burning it off, and you can come across minor tendrils of mankind wrapped effectually his springlocked body. His arms are revealed and his hands have spiked fingers. He only has one of his anxiety left, the other is just endoskeleton.

Personality

"	I-It'south only now that I understand the depth of the depravity of this... beast, this monster that I unwillingly helped to create. Every bit if what he had already done wasn't enough, he institute a new way to desecrate, to humiliate, to destroy. As if the suffering wasn't enough, the loss of innocence, the loss of everything to so many people. Small souls trapped in prisons of my making now ready to new purpose and used in means I never thought imaginable. He lured them all dorsum. Dorsum to a familiar place. Back with familiar tricks. He brought them all together.	„
	~ Henry calling out William in his secret recording.

William Afton's background is mostly told via silent actions within retro-graphics, or by reading between the lines throughout the games. Between his mini-game presence and piecing together information gleaned from about of the games, the community has been able to slice together some information about William all together.

Afton smiles, knowing Foxy the Pirate is about to see the bodies of the 5 children he murdered.

He seems to be malevolent, sadistic, and roughshod, ominously smiling equally he kills children. He is also increasingly psychopathic and demented, every bit he is able to hide his true nature under a mask of politeness, judging from the intro of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, and likewise psychologically manipulates his son, Michael, by presumably making him believe his sister is still alive and okay, in club to force Michael to obey his order. Co-ordinate to his vocalisation actor, PJ Heywood, Afton'due south voice is inspired by Hannibal Lecter, in a style that he'south unnervingly calm even when well-nigh to impale someone, which is supported past some of his novel counterpart'due south quotes.

"	Daddy, just once allow me go play with her! She'south so pretty and shiny! Didn't yous make her but for me?	„
	~ Elizabeth to her dad, William.

Despite his sadistic and dangerous tendencies, information technology is implied that he at least didn't want his daughter Elizabeth to die, as he warned her not to go near Baby, and he did send Michael to Circus Babe's Entertainment & Rental to free her, making his girl the but person that he may take cared about, though Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizzeria Simulator implies that he has a dysfunctional relationship with his girl, and that he is responsible for influencing Elizabeth's bloodlust and sinister behavior (although that might also be because of Infant'southward programming corrupting Elizabeth). He also may accept even wanted her to continue his murderous legacy alongside him, and bear on his experiments with him. Besides, he knew that Circus Babe was possessed by Elizabeth, yet still allowed his employees to shock her.

Adding to that, in the The Fourth Closet, although a separate timeline from the games, shows that William was an abusive male parent to Elizabeth, then far to pushing her to the basis and hit her when she simply disrupted his work. Taking in the fact of how both versions of William human activity nearly identical to each other, information technology's probable that William didn't accept an emotional connection to Elizabeth in the mainline story either, rendering him to be truly heartless.

"	Hide if you want. It did not save the others. Information technology will not save you.	„
	~ Afton as Springtrap.

He is seen dismantling the animatronics at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza twice, hinting he might hate them. Afton likewise seems to be brave, seeing as he charges at the archetype versions of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy in the Five Nights at Freddy's 3 minigames without being scared, the same with Withered Freddy in the "Salvage THEM" minigame. The only moments when he is shown scared is when he sees the souls of the children that he murdered and in the ending of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator when being burned alive past Henry. Information technology'southward unsaid that he is an abusive and neglectful parent, ignoring the fact that his younger son is bullied. If he is in fact the Orangish Guy from Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, then the theory is confirmed. William seems to be cocky, going into the 4th Freddy Fazbear's Pizza despite knowing it's a trap, implying he fully believes that he can escape.

It seems that as Springtrap, Jump Bonnie's AI is still at that place, after over 40 years of not being used. Springtrap post-obit Balloon Boy'due south dissonance implies this, given that the Jump Bonnie arrange was meant to follow noise.

"	Although for 1 of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend.	„
	~ Henry to William.

As mentioned before, William is good at manipulating people. He managed to convince the children to follow him into the Condom Room, convinced Michael to enter Circus Baby'southward Entertainment & Rental, and it presumably took Henry a while to realize his best friend murdered his daughter. Afton isn't above using people's personal issues to dispense them, convincing Susie to follow him with the promise of her expressionless canis familiaris actually beingness live. Also, assuming he isn't the Orange Guy from Midnight Motorist, he manipulated an unnamed boy past coming over to his house and making him break out of his domicile to Freddy's, knowing he did it more than than in one case so he can escape his abusive life.

Speaking of his victims and Henry'south daughter, William and Charlie are biting enemies both in the games, the Novel Trilogy, and the Fazbear Frights. His first victim, Charlie, possessed the Puppet and gave life to William's victims that would be known as the Missing Children, and it's unsaid that she did the same to his 1987 victims so they can possess the Toy animatronics. She tried to disengage his work by setting his victims gratuitous and killing the serial killer, possibly inbound Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Identify to terminate whatsoever murders from happening (assuming she's controlling Lefty).

In the Novel Trilogy, she was once again Afton's victim, and although she ascended to the afterlife, her robotic copy ultimately "killed" William and made him become Springtrap, with Springtrap sending the Twisted animatronics after her. In the Fazbear Frights, the Puppet is ultimately the one to kill that version of William and destroy his Affiliation.

William Afton's motives for his actions and backstory remain unknown to this day. His motives are interpreted as beingness a selfish goal for immortality, driven by tragedy, or only beingness a twisted and sadistic monster who wanted to see people endure. Judging from both the mainline games and novel series, it's more than probable to be the latter.

Relationships

† means that the character is deceased/destroyed (in case of animatronics). †? means that the character's fate is currently unclear or unknown.

Referring to William

Speculation

Despite William sparking the downfall of Fazbear Entertainment by murdering many children, his actual motivation for killing the kids is still a mystery, though many people assume he did for his own enjoyment or as part of an experiment to create life from the dead.
- Freddy Fazbear'southward Pizzeria Simulator heavily implies the latter, as a blueprint reveals the Scooper'south purpose; to transfer remnant, a substance that gives a soul its ability to remain later on death, into the animatronics.
  - Although it'southward heavily implied that William is later remnant so he can become immortal, ironically, the aforementioned game goes confronting it, showing that even after gaining the closest he'll ever have to immortality, he still wants to kill children, although this could be due to William'south damaged psyche and having possibly gone mad with power every bit Springtrap, no longer caring almost his original motivation.
- Five Nights at Freddy'south four and Sister Location suggests that William is motivated by the expiry of the Crying Child, his youngest son, and that his killings are either a targeted revenge scheme against Henry and Fazbear Amusement for creating the unsafe springlock animatronics by taking them out of business for good, harvesting remnant from children to resurrect his son, or both. However, it ultimately depends on which appointment the Missing Children Incident happened, with in that location being implications for both 1983 and 1985. That said, Charlie has been confirmed to be Afton's first victim in the franchise.
  - However, in that location are some disputes as to if any murders committed past William occurred earlier the Crying Child's death, with some believing that Elizabeth'due south Afton death came before the Crying Child's. Sister Location states that Circus Baby'south opened later Freddy's shut down, simply it's unknown if HandUnit is referring to Circus Baby's Pizza Globe or Circus Infant'southward Entertainment and Rental, or possibly both. Fifty-fifty if Elizabeth died before the Crying Kid, Afton would nonetheless lack a solid motivation for his actions as the Funtime animatronics that killed Elizabeth were made to capture and kill children.
- In the novel series, Afton is confirmed to exist stealing life essence from victims and animatronics, experimenting on information technology to endeavor to detect the hole-and-corner to immortality. However, this part of his motivation only came subsequently he institute out he was dying from the impairment injured in the Spring Bonnie arrange, making his actual/original motivations obscured and unknown.
- The Fazbear Frights version of Afton apparently has a never-ending need to inflict pain, implying that he does information technology out of pure sadism (or alternatively, his motivation to kill out of sadism adult over time during his career equally a killer).
- It had also been unsaid that the Fazbear Frights Afton genuinely loved his married woman and was struck with grief after her death, showing another possible motive for his deportment. A later epilogue even so would soon reveal that it'southward an entirely new graphic symbol instead of Afton that lost his wife. Despite this, information technology'southward theorized that the absence of William's wife is meant to signify that she'south the reason Afton went insane, or that she isn't at all important to the plot.
It is speculated that the in-universe TV prove The Immortal and the Restless that Michael watches between the nights of Five Nights at Freddy'south: Sister Location, where Vlad denies existence the father of the infant, is a parallel between the relationship between William and Michael. Vlad shares similarities with William, while the baby has similar looks to his male parent like Michael is noted to have with his.
William could have been inspired past:
- Aaron Fechter, a technology entrepreneur who created the Showbiz Pizza Place's animatronics. Scott Cawthon actually met Fechter in person.
- Nathan Dunlap who, after being fired from Chuck E. Cheese, shot four of the v employees fatally and injured the fifth in the 1993 Aurora, Colorado, shooting.
- This creepypasta, which tells the story of a mascot of Chuck E. Cheese who had severe mental problems and begun thinking that he was the existent Chuck E. Cheese. Withal, he began killing children and using their meat for pizza.
- Freddy Krueger, due to them both being sadistic child murderers who go more powerful in decease.
- The one confirmed inspiration is Hannibal Lecter, but that'due south only for his voice.
- Norman Osborn, due to them both beingness bright scientists, terrible fathers, and they both get stronger when inside a green adapt. They also both accept children who get most as evil as them (with Harry condign the New Goblin, and Elizabeth becoming Circus Infant)
It is theorized that Toy Chica in her cutscenes in Ultimate Custom Dark represents William due to Toy Chica choosing one of her classmates to be her swain, but ends upwards killing them, while William seems to also choose a child and and so kills.
- In the final cutscene, Chica is seen under a tree atop a hill, with her handbag full of the remains of her victims. The tree seems identical to the tree in the Lorekeeper Ending of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, which is near the graves of the original kids killed by Afton.
In Ultimate Custom Night, when talking to Quondam Man Consequences, the background sounds when modified seems to be William's screaming.
It has been heavily speculated that Glitchtrap is the soul of William Afton due to his mannerisms and malevolent intentions.
- The Princess Quest minigame from the mobile port of Assistance Wanted seems to confirm this theory, as at the cease of the minigame, an amalgamated rabbit creature representing Glitchtrap says in a decodable text: "I ever come back" (William's most famous quote) before engulfing the player in it's tentacles.
It is theorized that the the Puppet was responsible for Afton possessing Springtrap, similar to how it did for Afton's other victims, in order for William to know what it feels like to be an animatronic. However, UCN and the Fazbear Frights series implies that Gold Freddy is the i that made Afton become Springtrap by forcefully keeping him live.
In that location is no given explanation on why Springtrap had his advent changed in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, since he would most not been able to accept changed the animatronic conform. It's commonly causeless that he tried to repair himself with the other animatronic parts also present at Fazbear'south Fright: The Horror Attraction.
Many fans believe that in Ultimate Custom Night we tin can hear Scraptrap's concluding words as he burns to decease. Although information technology is likely he is begging Michael for help, some fans believe he is screaming that he hates Michael and Henry.
- If the latter was truthful, and then he screams this:

I Detest MIKE! AAAARRRGGGHHH! I HATE HENRY!

„

Some fans conjecture that Springtrap survived the fire in Freddy Fazbear'south Pizzeria Simulator. It is mostly because in the ending screen, the fire is behind Springtrap. Meanwhile, with Scrap Babe and Molten Freddy, the burn down is in front of them. This may imply that Springtrap escaped. Nonetheless, while his survival is confirmed, it's unlikely he managed to escape given that Silver Parasol and Fazbear Entertainment had to get his circuit board and accidentally create Glitchtrap. This theory was eventually confirmed in the true catastrophe of Security Alienation, where Springtrap (at present named Burntrap) appears as the game'southward final dominate.
The story "What We Establish" from the Fazbear Frights implies that William is somewhat responsible for the security baby-sit having hallucinations that are the Phantom animatronics.

Trivia

In the final Custom Dark cutscene of 5 Nights at Freddy'due south: Sister Location, Michael's vox becomes robotic near the stop of his dialogue. The franchise's creator, Scott Cawthon, eventually confirmed that Michael'southward robotic voice was an error, and was unintentional. This error acquired debate over whether William or Michael was killed inside Springtrap, until Scott'due south response to ane of MatPat's Five Nights at Freddy'south theory videos, as well every bit the credits of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, confirmed William as the spirit possessing Springtrap.
In the 1.031 update of V Nights at Freddy'due south 3, Scott added the sound of William'southward groaning.
Afton'due south truthful identity was widely speculated to exist the Phone Guy until Scott debunked it by finally having him speak in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, having a completely dissimilar voice.
He has a British accent, with his son and girl having one as well.
Freddy in Space 2 is the only game so far that has admittedly aught to exercise with William.
The fans have often theorized that in that location are two killers, due to the fact that William had two dissimilar sprites with slightly different coloration in Five Nights at Freddy's ii. This was later on disproven.
In March 2020, various memes of William Afton spawned around referencing the Living Tombstone V Nights at Freddy'southward 2 song "It'southward Been Then Long" where the then-unnamed murderer was referred to as "The Human being Behind the Slaughter". Memes of this will be portrayed referencing the grapheme in one way or some other, often by including the line or a parody of the line in the caption, with the character on-screen being majestic while the song plays in the groundwork.
Equally of version 1.031, Springtrap now makes footsteps and moaning noises when he moves.
- Some people take assumed that the moaning dissonance is Afton inside of Springtrap trying to talk. However, according to the game files, it's really just slowed down alpaca noises.
Springtrap is named after the trap device of the same proper noun that is used for catching animals during hunting and how he is a Springlock suit. This is how he "trapped" Afton inside.
Occasionally, when V Nights at Freddy'south three starts up, one of iii images of Springtrap revealing William Afton'due south mummified corpse within of him may appear, similarly to the eyeless screens from the first and second games.
Springtrap is the first, and so far only, confirmed case of an adult possessing an animatronic instead of a child.
Before having his proper noun confirmed, the near mutual name for Springtrap coined by fans was Golden Bonnie, every bit fans believed that Springtrap was somehow connected to the similar-looking animatronic Gold Freddy, while also retaining a resemblance to Bonnie.
- Two more common fan-given names were Hybrid and Relieve, for fans believed that Springtrap was made from the parts of dismantled animatronics.
- Coincidentally, Springtrap is a hybrid, merely not the way fans theorized.
- Another coincidental detail is that Springtrap was salvaged in Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizzeria Simulator.
Springtrap is one of the only animatronics (besides the Nightmares) with five fingers due to beingness a wearable adapt.
In the promotional photo for Five Nights at Freddy's: Sis Location, Circus Babe appears to be grin at someone off-screen. The figure reflected in her nose looks suspiciously similar Springtrap, which led fans to believe he would render in the game. While he was non the main antagonist or even a major character (in his Springtrap form, at least), he did appear in the ending cutscene for the Custom Night's "Gilded Freddy" Mode on Very Difficult, revealing himself to still be live after Fazbear'southward Fright burned down and foreshadowing his return equally the master antagonist in Freddy Fazbear'south Pizzeria Simulator.
William Afton's skull within Scraptrap bears an uncanny liking to his book counterpart's face up, implying he may accept looked the aforementioned when he was alive.
In Ultimate Custom Night, if Springtrap causes a game over, his moaning from V Nights at Freddy's 3 will play, while if Scraptrap causes a game over, his "I always come up dorsum!" line from Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizzeria Simulator volition play.
Strangely, some of the voice lines that Springtrap says in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery are reminiscent of the voice lines said by some animatronics in Ultimate Custom Night.
Many fans did not like Scraptrap's design when they first saw him. Because of this, many people referred to him every bit a peanut.
- In response, many fans in the customs created a meme revolving effectually the hate towards Scraptrap known as "#JusticeforScraptrap".
The name Scraptrap has never appeared in the games and was simply a name used by fans to distinguish between the before iteration of Springtrap and this one. Still, similar to names like Telephone Guy and Gilded Freddy, the name has since come into employ in other official sources such equally Five Nights at Freddy'south: The Freddy Files and by Scott Cawthon himself.
Springtrap and Funtime Freddy are the but possessed animatronics in the franchise that aren't tragic, seeing as Springtrap is a kid murderer who shows no remorse for his actions, and Funtime Freddy seemed to have always enjoyed doing what he was created to do.
In Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, Springtrap has a slightly unlike model, missing some parts. This version of Springtrap is called "Dark Springtrap" in the game files and the merch.
- Fans started joking that Dark Springtrap is Springtrap when he's "extremely angry".
Later Clown Springtrap was revealed, fans apace started jokingly comparing him to Arthur Flake.
Springtrap was considered the hardest animatronic to beat in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Commitment until Gilded Freddy was added.
If he appears outside of minigames, it's always as a variation of Leap Bonnie.
William Afton in Pizzeria Simulator strongly resembles Jump Bonnie from the Five Nights at Freddy's 4 minigames.
Interestingly, while salvaging Scraptrap during Freddy Fazbear'southward Pizzeria Simulator, we tin hear a heartbeat. Given that information technology can be heard only when salvaging him, and the fact that Michael is missing all of his organs, information technology can be presumed that Afton's heart is still somehow beating.
It'south unknown why his Ancient Equinox skin is named Curse instead of Curse Springtrap.
Michael Afton was sometimes speculated to be the main protagonist of Ultimate Custom Night before it was confirmed to exist William.
Mangle's sprite in the SAVETHEM minigame is named "he was here". The merely pick for the "he" is William, as he's the only human in the minigame and there is a expressionless child in the room.
Before his true name was revealed, he used to be called Vincent or Peter by fans.
The appearance of Burntrap and "Blob" in Security Breach was heavily criticized by fans equally the one-time appears for one boss fight where he doesn't do or say anything also trying to take control of Glamrock Freddy, with no explanation for how he survived, or whatever potential connections betwixt him and Vanny. The latter was criticized even further equally information technology doesn't appear in the gameplay fifty-fifty in one case, and appears only in one cutscene to presumably kill Afton (as well as the fact no explanation for why or how he came into beingness). Their complete irrelevance to the plot, no explanation for how they are hither and small screen time led fans to speculate that the ending for Security Breach might have been different, and it was inverse last second. It's still possible this ending will be expanded upon in the upcoming DLC for the game.
His latest appearance in Security Alienation, which depicted him as completely withered, barely sapient, and easily defeated in what many think is an anticlimactic moment for the serial' large bad, has made people joke that it's because William is getting old, equally he would've definitely been 70 or older during the game, even though he stopped aging decades ago when he died. This interpretation spawned a pop meme, commonly named "Peepaw Willy", in which Burntrap is depicted every bit a fragile old man, frequently in a wheelchair or with a walker, with Vanny acting as a retirement domicile caretaker for him.
Bold he isn't Glichtrap, information technology's unclear if William was dead, unconscious or severely weakened after Cassidy left his listen and was scanned into the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience equally the Princess before he was reactivated in the finale of Security Breach.
