William Afton (Human)

William Afton was one of the original owners behind the Fazbear restaurants, working alongside Henry Emily to design animatronics, manage the locations, and ensure the company’s entertainment business continued to operate successfully.

However, everything changed after the horrific Bite Incident at Fredbear’s Family Diner. The tragedy forced the diner to shut down, leaving William and Henry to figure out how the company could continue while avoiding further damage to its reputation. Eventually, the two agreed to start over with a new restaurant: the first Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. With a new location and a new cast of animatronics, they hoped to leave the past behind and rebuild the company.

But William did not remain the same.

Over time, a dark and unnatural presence began influencing him. Whether it awakened something already buried within him or slowly corrupted him, William became increasingly cruel and dangerous. He eventually began murdering people and became responsible for many of the disappearances surrounding the Fazbear locations. His actions would continue to affect future restaurants, creating a cycle of tragedy that stretched far beyond a single incident.

By the time of the second Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza location in 1987, Ashley and several members of the animatronic crew had begun to understand that William was behind the disappearances. Desperate to stop him from hurting anyone else, they discovered that William frequently used an old springlock suit to lure his victims away from public areas.

The suit, however, was extremely unstable.

Knowing this, Ashley and the others eventually cornered William. With nowhere left to run, he climbed into the springlock suit in an attempt to protect himself and intimidate them.

It became his greatest mistake.

The springlocks suddenly failed, crushing William inside the suit and leaving him to suffer an agonizing death. His body remained trapped within the costume, eventually decaying and being forgotten within the abandoned parts of the building.

Ashley and the others believed it was finally over.

They were wrong.

Although William’s body had died, something inside him remained. Through the remnants connected to his victims and the dark manifestation that had been growing around him, a part of William refused to disappear. As the years passed, that presence only became stronger, feeding on the suffering and tragedy he had created.

William Afton would eventually return.

And when he did, his plans would become far more dangerous than the murders that came before—especially for Princess Ashley.

Voice Direction:
William should sound intelligent, confident, and composed on the surface. He knows how to appear professional and trustworthy, but underneath that calm personality is something much darker. As the story progresses, his voice can become colder, more threatening, and increasingly influenced by the dark manifestation surrounding him.
