Here We Go Again Mr Purple Guy Song

"	He's non really expressionless. He is over hither, follow me...	"
	— William Afton tricking Susie into post-obit him after her canis familiaris was hit by a car

William Afton, too known as the Royal Guy and The Employee, was the co-founder of Fazbear Amusement, as well as the main antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. He was a serial killer who targeted infants and young children, and who was directly responsible for all of the incidents and tragedies throughout the series. His role in the franchise'south story is pivotal. His story is told via arcade styled minigames, in which he looms in the shadows, appearing as a purple effigy.

He was a wealthy businessman and inventor who secretly built animatronics to hunt and kill immature children, which went unknown by his partner, Henry Emily. His daughter, Elizabeth Afton, would exist killed by one of the animatronics he built. Prior to this incident, his youngest son had unfortunately suffered the same fate. For his own selfish reasons, he becomes a serial killer, dubbed The Imperial Guy.

He would apparel upwardly in a Spring-Bonnie Springlock Suit to fox several young children into following him during birthday parties. In one case he had them far enough from their parents, he would mutilate and murder them, earlier stuffing their corpses into animatronic suits. He was apparently charged one-time before 1993, and tried for the murders of these children, only was released due to lack of evidence. He can be seen during several hidden minigames, such as Savethem.

He eventually meets his end when the souls of the murdered children become then bloodthirsty for revenge that they chase him into a sealed off room. Once within, Afton tried to scare away the children by wearing the same Springlock Suit that he used to murder the children in. Once inside the suit, Afton laughs at the souls of the children, assertive that they volition exist fooled past the costume's friendly facade. However, a droplet of h2o from the leaky roof lands on the mechanical gears of the suit, and they intermission loose, spinning speedily and gradually collapsing inwards with Afton still inside. His body was crushed slowly and painfully past the strength. While Afton was slowly bleeding out, the souls of his young victims fade abroad, leaving him to dice lonely in the empty room. After William bleeds out and dies, the suit then fully crushes him, replacing his flesh and bone with a metal endoskeleton, and forever trapping his body in a metallic prison.

With their killer suffering a horrific and cruel fate, the children are presumably able to peacefully laissez passer away, complimentary from their torment. 30 years after his demise, William'southward soul is brought back to life, however inside the suit, now taking up the name Springtrap. He serves every bit the chief antagonist of 5 Nights at Freddy's 3, and the master antagonist of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

In Five Nights at Freddy's iii, Springtrap is not seen much in the outset nights, simply he is shown more and more in the later nights. The histrion must lure him away from the office past playing sounds of children laughing in different rooms. He will sleep into the rooms in hopes of murdering a child, simply and so proceed into the office once he sees he's been tricked. His identity is kept hidden from the thespian, although many players noticed a rotten jaw inside of the mask, until the final minigame of the story. It is revealed that Springtrap is really William Afton, having been killed later on his body was crushed and shredded by mechanical gears. The Horror Attraction is burnt down, but Afton somehow survives, although his arrange and mask undergo extreme damage. He goes through unknown changes and becomes Scraptrap.

In the finale of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the thespian Michael Afton, lures Afton, Circus Babe, Funtime Freddy and The Puppet into a faux establishment. Then, Henry Emily sets the place on burn down with Michael willingly inside. All of the animatronics burn, and Michael is killed in the procedure. Circus Baby was completely destroyed, as was the Puppet. Both of their souls supposedly move onto the afterlife. Afton and Molten Freddy survive, with Afton being reincarnated as Glitchtrap and having Vanny use the Glamrock Animatronics to become into the sinkhole to observe and fix his old Scraptrap body and hide it within a Recharge Station.

In the apparent Truthful Ending of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Alienation, Gregory ventures into the remains of the burnt establishment. Information technology is revealed that Vanny had transferred Afton'south mind into a partially fixed Springlock/Glamrock Hybrid suit, along with his rotting corpse, and however drastic to murder children. Gregory must actuate several hidden switches that atomic number 82 to incinerators that Henry had fix previously. This leads to the place catching on burn down yet again, Gregory and Freddy escape, but rubble blocks off the path for Afton, and he is caught past The Blob as he tries to escape. The Hulk grabs him by the cervix and drags him dorsum into the crumbling building, and it collapses onto them both. He is presumed expressionless.

Concrete Appearance

Human

Since William Afton is the only always seen in human form in some of the minigames, it's hard to pin down his exact appearance to the bespeak where it's mostly unknown. In the mini games his sprite color ranges from diverse tones of regal, depending on the mini game. It is worth noting that he appears purple because he is simply hiding in the shadows, not because his skin is bloated. His mouth appears to nearly always be put in the form of a elongated sadistic smiling. William is seen as having a crack chin outside of the mini games. It isn't until Five Nights at Freddy's 3 that he retained a semi-consistent appearance, underutilized as it may exist, though he has expressive optics and a mouth that conveys his emotional country.

The most detail William has shown is during the Save them Death minigame, in which he is revealed to be a tall skinny human with a long neck and has glowing, white eyes, a xanthous object on his chest which resembles a security bluecoat, and holds a royal object, which is speculated to be a weapon or tool (some people thought it was a phone). it extends in his hand in a beckoning pose. He also has what appears to be bad posture, as his neck is always leaned forward.

It is heavily unsaid that his truthful appearance is the same as his counterpart in the novels, which could mean that he used to be fat and salubrious, only ultimately became sallow and sparse with a poorly shaven face, messy brown pilus, saggy skin, and the appearance of a eye-aged man, too equally having lifeless gray eyes.

Springtrap

A few years afterwards the closure of the third Freddy'southward, William went on a rampage within of a closed pizzeria, destroying all of the animatronics and, unbeknownst to him, freeing the souls of the children. Eventually, the souls of the children ganged up and chased him into an abandoned room. Inside of the room was a spare Springlock Suit, a Spring Bonnie suit to be exact. Because the suit was the same ane he used to murder the children in, information technology is believed he wore it so he could try scare them away, past reminding him of what he put them through. This fails, and the souls barricade the door, blocking Afton from escaping. Due to his frantic motility, the springlocks become uneasy, and a droplet of water lands on them. They pause loose, and Afton is killed via crushing.

30 years subsequently his demise, William is reanimated every bit Springtrap, an affiliation of human and robot mixed into ane. Now undead and full of rage, he relentlessly hunts down everyone he can detect to torture and kill.

The adapt is a drab olive colour, with darker colors on his stomach and the insides of his ears. A swell portion of his right ear is missing, with a unmarried red wire sticking out of the stump. Springtrap'due south unabridged body is torn and tattered, with gaping holes begetting exposed wires and caging throughout, making him announced much more macabre-looking than whatsoever of the other animatronics from whatever previous installments in the serial. His dark-green/brown/blackness nose has an irregular squarish shape due to deterioration.

While both of Springtrap'south hands and feet are attached and generally intact, with his human anxiety presumably inside, 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 trivial fingers of Springtrap's right hand are notably missing their fingertips (this is no longer the case for his model in time to come games). A single black button can be seen on the center of his breast. If one looks closely at the large pigsty in Springtrap'south chest (which is located under his push), Willam Afton'south cleaved yet somehow still alive body can be seen. Springtrap has a wide, permanent smiling, as the cloth 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 eighth of October, 2016, images of an early Springtrap model testify his visible endoskeleton torso in the shape of an upside-down triangle. Information technology has 6 "ribs", which almost act like bodily animal ones.

Both of Springtrap'due south eyes are properly set inside of his head, and appear to be pale grey in color. The optics themselves every bit multiple blood-vessels can exist seen in them. They also appear to exist glowing, suggesting that William Afton remains alive equally a issue of a paranormal upshot. Out of his whole body, merely his head, bits of mankind and blood-vessels tin be spotted. 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 exist seen more clearly in three rare-boot images depicting Springtrap trying to tear his own mask off. However, just after passing all would information technology be known to the player that this is actually William Afton, as the final mini game shows him getting impaled and dying in the conform.

Equally seen in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Springtrap also walks and crawls with a limp. The arm joints likewise appear to be loose, though this may but be due to the deteriorated status of the original suit. Aid Wanted also alters his general design, the conform itself existence a lighter color. The biggest change between the Help Wanted model and the original is the trunk of William Afton. The eyes are now brilliant green with black pupils, looking more animatronic than homo this time. While the corpse's head is a dark purple in color, the rest of the flesh on the body is a night chocolate-brown. Parts of the flesh are missing, such as the strands of flesh on the lower legs, or the mankind that goes from the torso to the pelvis. His endoskeleton is rustier, and seems slightly less detailed.

Springtrap's pattern in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery is a lot closer to the V Nights at Freddy'south 3 design, with some very slightly different textures from his original look. The biggest deviation is William Afton'southward rima oris, which moves alongside his jaw. Similar virtually other Special Commitment animatronics, the more impairment Springtrap takes, the more broken he is, gaining more than nighttime fire and dirt marks over fourth dimension.

Scraptrap

William Afton returned again in Freddy Fazbear'southward Pizzeria Simulator with a new design, dubbed Scraptrap past fans; this name is made official in Security Breach as the title of an arcade car he stars in. While he does retain some key physical details from Springtrap's design, in that location are some major differences. Unlike the previous design where his interior was by and large machinery, it is now nearly entirely organic, and shows his man skeleton as well as flesh, with 5 bony fingers as his right mitt. The reason every bit to why William Afton is much more than detailed this time is probably because his full body can be seen in one of the rare-kicking screens. There are more torn patches in his suit with multiple metal-wires, and he has lost his left forearm, one-half his left ear, and the rest of his right ear. His feet at present have fabric over them, with three large, round toes on each foot. His optics no longer glow and at present look completely metallic.

The mask also has significant differences, with much larger middle sockets, a black nose, a square muzzle, a singular pair of buck teeth at the superlative row and pocket-sized precipitous needle-like teeth at the bottom. Afton's mummified head is clean of blood, now with ears, thicker lips, rigged teeth and a dimple. The texture of the skin appears to exist os, showing that his corpse has decayed to the point where his skeleton is exposed.

Glitchtrap

Glitchtrap takes on the form of a homo wearing a Bound Bonnie costume - who is a grinning, bipedal, golden-xanthous rabbit. He is wearing a purple star-speckled belong, a purple bow tie, and two black buttons near the top of his chest. He also has stitches stretching across his waving paw. He initially appears translucent, progressing into a less-spectral class over time.

He also possesses bright purple optics with small pupils, which are the first matter visible when he starts to appear to the role player's right. In Blacklight Fashion, his eyes volition plow blue with white, circular pupils. He also has large whiskers on each side of his face, three eyelashes on both of his eyes, and large arching eyebrows.

Burntrap

Afton appears every bit the optional final boss in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, named every bit "Burntrap" co-ordinate to the game datas. Burntrap appears to be a yellowish-light-green Spring Bonnie conform that has been severely withered, tattered and burned, with the entire lower jaw ripped out, revealing a red skull with some burnt flesh remaining and metallic glowing purple eyes. The suit's arms legs are missing fur, with exception of his chest, hip, left foot, and upper left leg, presumably burned away revealing more than of Afton's charred remains. He appears to have precipitous drill-like claws, similar to the Nightmare Animatronics from V Nights at Freddy's iv.

Personality

Although seeming very cryptic at first, William's character traits and nature tin can be seen via silent actions within retro-graphics and by reading between the lines throughout the games.

William Afton is the textbook definition of evil. He is the sadistic serial killer who sparked the downfall of his ain company, Fazbear Entertainment, murdered almost a dozen children in cold claret, and started the tragic chain of events that leads players throughout the serial. It is heavily unsaid that William's true motive is to proceeds the secret of immortality and alive eternally alongside fulfilling his cruel and sadistic pleasures. Judging by his deportment and appearance within the games, William is wicked, cold-blooded and methodical, clearly showing no remorse for his actions. He was fifty-fifty malicious enough to murder his closest friend and business partner Henry's simply girl Charlotte, an outcome which caused Henry immense emotional turmoil to the point where he nearly committed suicide, showing that William is more than willing to impairment his friends, whether it be mentally, emotionally, or physically.

Equally shown in every mini game he appears in, he ever smiles during his killings, and in the Pizza Political party mini game in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, which appears to be a recreation of one of Afton's murders, William in the form of Glitchtrap can be seen dancing gleefully later on murdering the victim, taunting them while they are trapped inside of a robotic suit and suffering a slow and painful expiry. 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 endure in desperation, particularly when said victims are mere children. One of William'southward voice lines in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator advise that he is opportunistic and volition proceed with his intentions, regardless of the risks.

Heard in the opening cutscene of Sister Location, William shows a rather calm and neutral personality. This is likely a façade to hide his true intentions and evil mindset while showing that he is a manipulator and seemingly theatrical, being able to easily put on a grapheme to fool people. The fact that he created the Funtime Animatronics, which are very avant-garde and technological, shows that he has a genius level intellect, a talent for robotics, and is very proud of his creations. He is likewise fascinated by how they have evolved afterward the events of Sis Location.

His voice lines in Five Nights at Freddy'southward AR: Special Delivery bespeak that he is arrogant, boastful, and overconfident in his way of thinking, and fifty-fifty suggests that he wants his victims to fear and respect him, equally well as suffer slowly before he kills them. This is in stark dissimilarity to his subtle, poetic, and calculated voice. His mannerisms are incredibly flamboyant and unhinged. Information technology seems that William'southward hubris grew larger every bit he became more experienced as a killer, likely due to the fact that he was never caught or convicted for his crimes and always got away with them. This explains his behavior in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and Freddy Fazbear'due south Pizzeria Simulator. Given his nature, William is most likely not insane, he just seemingly does non care for the difference between right and wrong, and simply chooses to be evil for no other reason than to reach his twisted and unethical desires.

It is heavily suggested that William'due south greatest fearfulness above all is expiry. This is shown in one of the 5 Nights at Freddy's three mini games, where he cowers in fear while facing the vengeful ghosts of his victims, explaining why he refused to laissez passer on after his death and became Springtrap to begin with. This fear is so immense that he has developed an unbreakable iron will to alive, no matter the costs. Ultimately, this is what pushes him to survive fifty-fifty in the most deadly situations time and time over again. He showcases his willpower by confidently stating "I always come up back". This ironically shows that despite William's immense cruelty and airs, he is a coward when facing his own demise and retribution for his deportment. William knows Hell awaits him, and he intends to stay away from it for as long as possible.

Despite his roughshod nature, it is implied that he loved his girl Elizabeth, since he warned her not to go near Circus Baby, as he programmed the animatronic to be homicidal. It is also implied that Babe was made in honor of Elizabeth. William even orders his son Michael to free Elizabeth from Circus Infant'south Entertainment and Rental. Still, William knew Elizabeth's possession of Baby, yet paid and allowed technicians to stupor her for an indefinite amount of fourth dimension. Taking this into business relationship, information technology's likely his connectedness towards Elizabeth wasn't as genuine as it seemed.

Likewise that, his relationship with his son Michael is made clearer. From what we larn in Sis Location, William sent him on a dangerous mission to rescue Elizabeth from the cloak-and-dagger facility, which concluded upwardly in Michael's gruesome death and reanimation as a rotting corpse. After learning of his survival in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, he attempts to murder the boy himself. This indicates that he hates Michael, and doesn't care most him in any fashion whatsoever.

His relationship with his other son seems relatively unknown, but from what is shown in the Five Nights at Freddy'south 4 minigames, he is uncaring and neglectful towards him, as he never interfered with any of the bullying, even when information technology began to effect in actual pain. Taking in all of this information, it's probable that he didn't take an emotional connection to his family unit, rendering him to be truly heartless.

However, in the S.T.A.F.F Bot silo in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Alienation, there is a table filled with diverse S.T.A.F.F. Bots that many believe represent characters that are a role of the Afton family. This could hateful that afterwards all these years, William actually misses his family, and might take ordered Vanny to organize those bots at the table to award or remember them in a very strange and disturbing way.

History

Five Nights at Freddy's

While William Afton is not seen in this game, he is referred to in paper clippings. He is described every bit an employee dressed as a company mascot that lured two children on the night of June 26th into a backroom. Onetime after, 5 children were linked to the incident, and while the suspect was charged, the bodies were never found. Information technology is theorized that because the bodies were never institute, he was eventually released from custody due to lack of evidence. This is proven in Assistance Wanted from one of the expiry screen quotes.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

William Afton is depicted as the "Purple Guy", a mysterious purple figure in the Five Nights series. In the Have Cake to the Children mini game, he is depicted driving up to the outside of a pizzeria, and killing a kid outside of the restaurant.

Finally, he lured five children into the backroom using block and a Yellowish Adjust, as seen in Foxy Go Get Become, and murdered them. They go on to possess the Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Bonnie, Foxy, and Golden Freddy suits. The Puppet would give them life in the animatronic suits to salvage their souls. Information technology'south unconfirmed whether William or the Boob stuffed the children into suits.

In the 2nd game, he is unsaid to have been the night guard before Jeremy Fitzgerald. After surviving a week on the nighttime shift, William Afton complained nigh conditions, so he was moved to the Dayshift. He went to murder 5 more kids, as seen in SAVE THEM, who are implied to possess the Toy Animatronics.

5 Nights at Freddy'due south 3

William Afton returns in the third game's stop of nighttime mini games, dismantling the archetype animatronics one by 1 when they cannot enter the safe room he is hiding in. However this unleashes the spirits of his victims who chase the terrified William Afton around the Rubber Room, and he put on the Leap Bonnie suit, thinking that this will protect him, believing the ghosts would non notice him. However, h2o from the leaky roof caused the metal gears within the adapt to skid out of place and rapidly spin in, crushing and stabbing Afton to decease.

V Nights at Freddy's 4

William Afton appears in a cameo in the fourth game, where he seemingly helps an employee in the Spring Bonnie costume in the back room.

Sis Location

William Afton speaking in Sis Location's intro.

While William does not appear anywhere in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sis Location, his presence is very strong. His phonation tin can exist heard during the opening intro, where he describes Circus Baby's pattern and purpose. At the end of the game, his son, Michael (the main protagonist of the game), speaks to him. He informs him that he found something William was looking for, and that "they" (likely the animatronics of Sister Location) had mistaken Michael for being William.

His Springtrap form as well returns, but only appears briefly at the end cutscene that takes identify in the burnt Fazbear's Fright (afterward the events of the third game) when the thespian beats all of the Custom Nighttime presets, significant that he survived the burning of the attraction. After Michael Afton finishes speaking, Springtrap volition appear from the right side of the screen before the cutscene abruptly ends.

Upon observing his appearance, Springtrap appears much the aforementioned as his original design from the third game, although he seems to be missing a few animatronic parts (such every bit the pelvis and hip which exposes his endoskeleton pelvis and consummate lack of veins and arteries), and an extra few rips and tears, making his appearance fall into further disrepair a little chip. From his half-torn correct ear, the scarlet wire appears to be cut off. His back from the lowest office of his torso is chopped off. Claret "vessel-tubes" at the front of his neck are missing as well. His pupils, nevertheless, are not glowing white, unlike from the third game, though this could just be the angle and lighting. He is well-nigh likely damaged from the fire. The rest of Springtrap's features, however, are hard to locate conspicuously due to being covered partly past darkness. This burned version of Springtrap was called Night Springtrap.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator

See main commodity: Scraptrap

While not directly appearing, footprints that are very similar to Springtrap's can be constitute backside the firm in Midnight Motorist'southward undercover mini game, presumably luring abroad the child of the abusive father in the game.

Seen when completing the Fruity Maze mini game, standing next to Susie from the correct is William Afton wearing a Jump Bonnie conform that he uses to lure children with. The girl is lured away and gets murdered past him.

Ultimate Custom Night

William was prevented from moving on to Hell and was being tormented in his mind past the vengeful spirit of Golden Freddy, the fifth victim William killed in the Missing Children Incident, a kid named Cassidy.

Assist Wanted - Security Alienation

See chief article: Glitchtrap

Glitchtrap appears in the main bill of fare, originally as a pair of imperial glowing eyes. Equally the player, collects more tapes in levels throughout the game, he gets closer and closer to the player, mostly waving at them. At the end of the "Dark Terrors - Pizza Party" level, Glitchtrap beckons the player backside a curtain. If the player follows him, the player spawns every bit Freddy Fazbear onstage. After this, the credits roll, with Glitchtrap dancing in the groundwork.

If the player collects all 16 tapes throughout the game, Glitchtrap will attempt to possess the role player's torso and escape into the real world at a random point. One ending to this has the thespian locked in front of a metal door, with Glitchtrap appearing through the door's lock and shushing the role player earlier walking off.

While Glitchtrap himself is a virus, Springtrap himself too appears, but as a game enemy that is not possessed by William. He appears in the FNaF 3 levels (interim the aforementioned as in the original game), the Difficult Fashion version of the "Vent Repair - Ennard" level (where the role player has to fix the vent every bit soon as possible earlier Springtrap kills them) and Pizza Political party (peeking inside the FNaF iii-styled room, where the thespian has to leave it as before long as possible or Springtrap kills them).

Glitchtrap is well-nigh entirely removed from the game due to the absence of tapes to collect, only appearing twice: in the Pizza Party level and as the master antagonist of the secret mini game Princess Quest. Throughout the mini game, diverse types of glitchy green rabbits try to assail the titular princess as she explores a castle.

At the very end of the mini game, locked behind a large door that needs to be unlocked with a imperial key, the Princess encounters a gigantic, purple and glitched rabbit. It says something to her in an unreadable speech chimera and with a strange noise, then envelops her with shadowy tendrils as the screen becomes increasingly glitched, followed by the game crashing.

Fans quickly establish the original audio file and discovered that the rabbit says "I always come up back. Allow me out." This confirms that Glitchtrap is indeed William Afton in the flesh.

In Five Nights at Freddy'south AR: Special Delivery, Glitchtrap was mentioned in the E-Mails. In the e-mails, Steven Wilson, 1 of the employees in Fazbear Funtime Service, stated that he got kicked off the system and is now locked out after finished scanning the last set up of circuit that his co-worker Daniel Rocha gave. Dan later on realized information technology was non a glitch but instead a virus, and informed all crews to stop the virus. In one of the unused email, after receiving an e-mail from Vanessa's imitation credential, "pizzaplex", information technology is revealed that Vanessa used them to override security protocols and allow a data packet containing Glitchtrap into the Fazbear'southward systems through after it was flagged as a virus.

In Five Nights at Freddy'south: Security Breach, while residing in the remains of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, which was direct underneath the Mega Pizzaplex in a sinkhole, Vanny downloaded Glitchtrap into his old body in which he previously burned to death in and with Vannesa'southward assist was able to repair and modify his original body, and later on the transfer was completed, William regained his physical form and became Burntrap. He shortly saw two intruders, Gregory and his companion Glamrock Freddy. William, somehow retaining his power from the digital realm to corrupt humans and objects, attempted to accept control of Glamrock Freddy and sent the damaged Glamrock Chica, Roxanne Wolf and Montgomery Gator to kill Gregory. Nevertheless, Gregory was able to reactivate the called-for room trap in the old pizzeria that Henry used to kill William beforehand. William attempted to leave the edifice, but before he could escape, Molten Freddy, who had become a much larger and more feral animatronic amalgamation of himself, grabbed him past the neck and dragged him away into the ceiling, heading to the surface and leaving his fate unknown as of now.

FNaF World

The image of William Afton features as a playable character in the Update 2 of FNaF Earth, who is unlocked after beating FNaF 57. His dialogue states he is non the actual Purple Guy, rather "just a game sprite".

Contrary to what is stated, however, William designed these robots not with the intent of entertainment, only to capture and impale children to obtain Remnant, in which he discovered later on killing the original v children back in the mid 1980s. Afton wanted to find the secrets of Remnant to get immortal. Elizabeth was warned non to get anywhere nigh them. Before opening solar day, Afton hosted a private party at his establishment as a test.

However, he awoke the ghosts of the five children he murdered, now able to leave their metal suits. They attacked William, filled with rage for what he did to them years ago. Fleeing from the spirits, William escaped into the safe room where Bound Bonnie had been placed for storage. He donned the suit to hibernate from the ghosts, apparently fooling them. In his arrogance, William stood and laughed at the ghosts while inside Jump Bonnie. However, a droplet of water from the leaking roof landed into the faulty mechanical gears, causing them to speedily spin inwards whilst sending metallic shrapnel into his chest, killing him and sealing his corpse inside the accommodate. Telephone Guy'due south tapes also foreshadow this; he explains that the person wearing the costumes must not become moisture on the springlocks or make sudden movements to subtract the run a risk of injury. Afton bankrupt these rules; he fabricated sudden movements by jumping into the suit, and failed to notice the rainwater seeping into the building and onto the springlocks.

Unaware that the injection didn't kill Carlton and instead enabled him to talk to the souls of Afton's victims, which are revealed to be even so inside the amalgamated endoskeletons, a disappointed William turned to the cornered kid. He gleefully tells the boy that fifty-fifty if this next experiment is another failure, at least "it will be fun; similar old times".

Carlton succeeds in convincing the spirits of the children that the yellow Bonnie they thought was their friend is really their murderer. They promptly took control of the Funtime animatronics and attacked Afton, simply when he managed to fend them off and prepared to kill the boy, they used the fused endoskeleton to take hold of William.

The Cliffs

The Agony is defeated past both Detective Larson and the Marionette. It was able to exercise some significant damage, absorbing every bit much mass from the infected items equally possible, newly acquiring Eleanor. The gigantic garbage kaiju chased Larson across the manufacturing plant, even throwing him into a wall and stabbing him, putting his infection within of him. But Larson, with Charlie's help, retaliated by ramming Afton with a forklift out of the factory and into the lake. The Agony stopped the oncoming force and destroyed the forklift, simply it was simply a diversion. The remains of the Marionette sprang towards the Agony, condign one with the creature, only to tear it apart from the inside out. While Eleanor was able to eject herself beforehand and escape, the balance of the infected items fall apart and splash into the water. Afton, Charlie and what remains of the Agony drown in the lake.

The infection that Afton had spread was seemingly vanquished when the infected items drowned, and the piece of infection that was inserted into Larson was burned away by the severely damaged Stitchwraith (now solely possessed by Jake). Nonetheless, Afton wasn't alone this time. William's soul was barely clinging onto life and he had support. Jake believes that something else was powering the Agony, and it was far worse.
