Soon to be the villian of the 2022 film, William Afton is the main antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise with a staggering (confirmed) body count of 20, and voiced by PJ Heywood. He was a man who dressed up as one of the mascots at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (Spring Bonnie) and used his kid-friendly disguise to lure children into the Safe Room, where there were no security cameras. It was confirmed that William was a former security guard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. After an accident where he set off the spring-locks in the Spring Bonnie costume effectively killing him, he becomes "The Springtrap" and is the main antagonist of Five Night's at Freddy's 3 and secondary antagonist of Freddy's Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 Edit

In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, William can be seen in the Foxy Go! Go! Go! Minigame.

On the third playthrough, William, who killed the crying child in the Take Cake to the Children minigame, is seen standing in the corner of the starting room, smiling. When Foxy approaches the children, they seem lifeless. The minigame ends with Withered Foxy's jumpscare.

He also appears in the S-A-V-E-T-H-E-M minigame on rare occasions, where he attacks Freddy and crashes the game by saying "You can't," which is in response to the various messages about saving the children.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3 Edit

[1] William Afton then returns in FNAF 3. After Night 5, the player has the ability to play as the ghost of one of the murdered children. The player then has to walk to the Safe Room, which they have the ability to enter. William can be seen scared, with 4 of his victims blocking the exit. The player has to chase him around, and William will then immediately run into the empty Spring Bonnie suit. He then laughs at his victims, thinking he is safe until the suit's springlocks malfunction. As a result, the numerous mechanical parts lining the inside of the suit crush and puncture William's body. William eventually dies from serious injury and blood loss... only for his spirit to reanimate the Spring Bonnie suit. William Afton becomes Springtrap.

30 years later, the managers of the pizzeria figured out that the animatronics were severely broken. They decide to close the pizzeria forever, and they then made a horror attraction called "Fazbear's Fright" in an amusement park. They put William (now known as Springtrap) inside this attraction. William, as Springtrap, noticed that he had no escape and attempted to kill the player for five nights. After Night 6, the attraction burns down. In Sister Location's Custom Night ending on Very Hard Golden Freddy mode, it is revealed that Springtrap has survived.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Edit

William Afton only appears in the Fazbear location shown in the minigames, at the end of Night 3. In the following game, 'Sister Location,' it is implied that William is responsible for placing the main protagonist of FNAF4, who is heavily implied to be William's younger son, in a simulation of the Afton household while observing his fear and trauma via the monitors in the Private Room like some kind of sick experiment.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location Edit

In the opening scene of Sister Location, an entrepreneur is interviewing William about the Circus Baby's Pizza World animatronics. They inquire why certain features were added and express their concerns, but he avoids answering their questions regarding these specific features, which he had actually designed to make it easier for him to kidnap and murder children under the guise of kid-friendly entertainers.He is the Tritagonist of the game.

William is also the CEO of Afton Robotics, the creator of the Circus Baby animatronics, the former owner of Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, and, by extension, Circus Baby's Pizza World. It's revealed that during Circus Baby's Pizza World's opening, William instructed his daughter, Elizabeth, to not go near Baby, due to her being programmed to kill children when they are alone. But Elizabeth does find herself alone with Baby, who lures her close with ice cream. Once she is within reach, Baby drops the ice cream and grabs William's daughter with a robotic claw, pulling the girl into her chest cavity and killing her.

It is revealed in the Custom Night's final cutscene that William sent his son, Michael, to his rundown factory to find his daughter. This ends up getting his son killed by his daughter Elizabeth, who is now possessing Circus Baby. After Ennard vacates Michael's body, he repossesses his own corpse, which has decomposed into a purple color. At the end of the cutscene, Michael vows to find his father and possibly kill him to get revenge for all the murders. In the end, it's shown that his father, now "The Springtrap," survived the destruction of Fazbear's Fright.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator Edit

[2] William Afton returns in the sixth as Springtrap once more, as one of the two main antagonists of the game, alongside his daughter, Elizabeth, who possesses Scrap Baby. Pizzeria Simulator is a "Pizzeria Simulator" in more ways than one. It is revealed that the location the game takes place in is a trap set up by Henry, Williams old business partner and former friend. The building has been built to look like another Freddy's location but with a twist. This trap is designed to lure in all remaining creations of William (as well as Will's son Micheal) to burn them all down in one place, effectively setting their souls free.

William makes his first appearance as a slightly redesigned Springtrap, after Tuesday's night is complete, during his salvaging phase. Like the other hostile animatronics, the player (Micheal Afton) can choose whether to throw him back into the alley outside the pizzeria or to salvage him. If the player chooses to throw him back into the alley, he will be absent for the rest of the game. he was made sure he was turned off until he was salvaged. He was then Salvaged, meaning he can be turned on again.

He recognized Michael Afton, but he was no longer in control. The suit was. But then, after Friday, Michael Afton recognized him. Michael soon found out he was a killer, so Michael joined Henry's plan to get rid of Springtrap. so they locked them into a labyrinth, Henry luring them into it, and Michael turning up the heat. Springtrap was wandering around in circles over, and over, and over. There was no escaping the fire this time, and with no choice he let the fire get to him. William screams the names of his former parter and son as he burns to death, fearing the end of his desired "immortality."

Ultimate custom night Edit

Ultimate Custom Night is the final game in the main timeline of events, it is a customizable mashup of all animatronic characters from every game in the series so far. William Afton, in his human form, has been suggested to be the player in the Ultimate Custom Night from several voice lines the animatronics give out. Theories suggest that Cassidy, (One of Afton's victims,) created a personal hell for the spirits to haunt Afton's soul for the rest of eternity, tormenting him over and over the same way he did to them years ago. "Bittersweet, but fitting"
