The HORRIFYING END of William Afton

NO! Stay back! Wait till I find you!

It all started when tragically, William Afton's wife died shortly after giving birth to their youngest son Norman. Sadly, Norman had some issues. He'd complain that at night, he'd see monsters roaming his bedroom.

Monsters that sounded oddly similar to the mascots at his father's pizzeria chain: Upon returning from the Vietnam War William and his business partner Henry Emily founded the pizzeria with the main attraction being two performing animatronics: Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. These robots weren't very sophisticated They were bolted to the stage and sort of just moved their arms around while music played in the background But to kids in the 70s, it was really cool. Unfortunately William's eldest son Michael had developed some serious behavioral problems manifesting in the relentless bullying of his younger brother Norman.

At first, everyone assumed that the 'monsters' Norman encountered each night were just nightmares. Especially considering how often Michael leveraged his brother's phobia of the animatronics to scare him. However, William wasn't so sure and the day before Norman's eleventh birthday his father took him for a psychiatric evaluation That day, the youngest Afton child was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

The next day, Norman's party is held at Fredbear's. Accompanied by his best friend Charlie, the daughter of restauraunt co-owner Henry Emily, the two enjoy their time together before they're rudely interrupted by Michael and his friends. In the wake of the accident Michael is arrested, and charged with manslaughter His father William cooperates with law enforcement and the eldest Afton son is sentenced to fifteen years in prison.

Defeated, Emily Henry went home that night heartbroken at the tragedy that had just occured Little did he know Norman would NOT be the only child to lose their life that night. In the late evening Charlotte Emily had just finished closing up the pizzeria. when William Afton's Sedan pulls up behind her.

In the wake of these tragedies Fredbear's Family Diner was closed. Norman Afton was dead. Charlotte Emily was dead.

Michael Afton was in jail. and William Afton was broken. He MUST have be broken because only a few years later, in 1987 the man convinced Henry to open Freddy Jr's.

the successor, to Fredbear's Family Diner The new restauraunt was superior in every way. But the animatronics themselves got the biggest upgrade No longer relegated to simply animated stage props the state of the art "toy" animatronics, as William called them could freely move throughout the pizzeria, and interact with guests. Furthermore, Henry, still traumatized from the death of Norman and the loss of his daughter insisted that William outfit the toys with a facial recognition system.

Capable of matching the restauraunt's patrons against a criminal database and apprehending any felons who might enter the premisies This time, things would be different. This restauraunt, would be the safest place on Earth. Unfortunately, Freddy Jr's nighttime security guard, Jeremy Fitzgerald had a somewhat.

. . different experience.

He was told that it was normal for the animatronics to move on their own at night, but THIS seemed unusual Little did Jeremy know Earlier that day, something terrible had happened. Gabriel and Susie are spending the evening at Freddy's alongside their friend, Cassidy when a strange mascot they've never seen before approaches. It almost looks like Bonnie but, it's golden.

After spending five nights at Freddy's Jeremy Fitzgerald had had enough. That evening, a few hours after they spoke Fritz gets a frantic phone call from Jeremy. He was scheduled to work a birthday party the next day alongside the other security guard Fritz, but after that, he was OUT.

Jeremy inteneded to quit, and I mean who could blame him? I'm impressed he made it five nights to begin with Sadly, it would be Jeremy's final birthday party at Freedy's, but not in the way he had hoped. WAS THAT THE BITE OF '87!

? In the wake of Jeremy's death, Freddy Jr's was closed down. Fritz was questioned by the police before eventually being cleared of any wrong doing and let go.

Henry was devastated. and William gaslit him. Blaming the events on the facial recognition system that Henry insisted be installed in the toy animatronics.

Unable to cope with the constant nightmare surrounding him Henry Emily is institutionalized. With Henry out of the way William intended to continue his slaughter However He had cast the blame for the bite of '87 on the toy animatronics and thus, he had no choice but to dismantle them. Low on cash and desperate William turned to the old withered animatronics lying around Freddy Jr's refurbishing them, and casting them as the house band of the all new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Mike Schmidt has been looking for a job for months Any job would do.

It was Christmas time, and Mike wanted to suprise his girlfriend by flting her parents out to them and spending the holidays together. Thus when he saw that a local children's pizza entertainment restauraunt had placed an ad for a nighttime security guard he went for it. On Christmas Eve, Mike arrives at the security office and begins his shift However, inside the office, he makes a curious discovery.

Whoever, or, whatever, had possesed the robots back in the 80s was still very much alive. Or, uh. Actually, they're undead.

But whatever. Six years in the nut house It was the longest that Henry Emily had ever been confined. Finally, the doctors had decided that he was better and could reintegrate into society, but any hope that Henry might have had to live out the rest of his days in peace was shattered when he discovered that William had opened yet another restauraunt.

Just a few weeks later Henry would learn the truth of William's deception. HE had killed Charlie, HE had been responsible for the children that continued to go missing, and even worse. Somehow those children weren't dead.

This discovery, was simply too much for Henry Emily to bear. William had come to discover this too and he was afraid. He knew that giant animal robots possessed by the wrathful spirits of his victims were dangerous.

He didn't understand how it had happened and he didn't know how to kill ghosts, but he DID know robots He built them after all. So it was that late one night William arrived at the pizzeria and set about systematically dismantling each of the animatronics What harm could they do to him once reduced to a pile of mechanical limbs on the floor? Little did Afton know there was a fifth threat in the pizzeria and they were about to spring their trap.

At some point in the past William had experimented with a wearable animatronic Dubbed "the spring locks", these suits included a feature that affix the robotic endoskeleton to the circumference of the suit allowing a human operator to step in, and wear it like a regular costume. Of course, this was ridiculously dangerous and after a bunch of employees suffered minor injuries Henry had convinced William to retire the suits. Right now, though, it was all Afton had.

No one could be sure why Afton thought the suit could protect him. Perhaps he thought the spirits would recognize him as one of their own or maybe he'd hoped that they would fear him should he don the same suit he wore when he murdered them. Regardless, William did don the suit, and it killed him.

In the wake of Afton's disappearance Freddy Fazbear's was shuttered for good. Word of the numerous disappearances and horrific tragedies surrounding the franchise had begun to spread. and the place had become somewhat of a local urban legend.

Thus, it was no suprise when opportunistic marketers decided to capitalize on the phenomenon opening Fazbear's Fright: a haunted house attraction based on the grizzly tales of Freddy Fazbear's pizza. When they got access to the final pizzeria opened before William Afton's disappearance they were disappointed to find that the place was trashed. The animatronics were lying in a heap on the floor Destroyed.

All of them. Except for one. Thus, they packed it up and brought it to Fazbear's Fright No one knew, that inside was the rotting corpse, of Freddy Fazbear's missing founder: William Afton.

Well, ALMOST no one knew.
