WILLIAM AFTON, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PURPLE GUY AND THE EMPLOYEE, WAS THE CO-FOUNDER OF FAZBEAR ENTERTAINMENT, 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'S STORY IS PIVOTAL. HIS STORY IS TOLD VIA ARCADE STYLED MINIGAMES, IN WHICH HE LOOMS IN THE SHADOWS, APPEARING AS A PURPLE FIGURE.
HE WAS A WEALTHY BUSINESSMAN AND INVENTOR WHO SECRETLY BUILT ANIMATRONICS TO HUNT AND KILL YOUNG CHILDREN, WHICH WENT UNKNOWN BY HIS PARTNER, HENRY EMILY. HIS DAUGHTER, ELIZABETH AFTON, WOULD BE 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 PURPLE GUY.
HE WOULD DRESS UP IN A SPRING-BONNIE SPRINGLOCK SUIT TO TRICK SEVERAL YOUNG CHILDREN INTO FOLLOWING HIM DURING BIRTHDAY PARTIES. ONCE HE HAD THEM FAR ENOUGH FROM THEIR PARENTS, HE WOULD MUTILATE AND MURDER THEM, BEFORE STUFFING THEIR CORPSES INTO ANIMATRONIC SUITS. HE WAS APPARENTLY CHARGED SOMETIME BEFORE 1993, AND TRIED FOR THE MURDERS OF THESE CHILDREN, BUT 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 SO BLOODTHIRSTY FOR REVENGE THAT THEY CHASE HIM INTO A SEALED OFF ROOM. ONCE INSIDE, 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, BELIEVING THAT THEY WILL BE FOOLED BY THE COSTUME'S FRIENDLY FACADE. HOWEVER, A DROPLET OF WATER FROM THE LEAKY ROOF LANDS ON THE MECHANICAL GEARS OF THE SUIT, AND THEY BREAK LOOSE, SPINNING RAPIDLY AND GRADUALLY COLLAPSING INWARDS WITH AFTON STILL INSIDE. HIS BODY WAS CRUSHED SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY BY THE FORCE. WHILE AFTON WAS SLOWLY BLEEDING OUT, THE SOULS OF HIS YOUNG VICTIMS FADE AWAY, LEAVING HIM TO DIE ALONE 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 METAL PRISON.
WITH THEIR KILLER SUFFERING A HORRIFIC AND BRUTAL FATE, THE CHILDREN ARE PRESUMABLY ABLE TO PEACEFULLY PASS AWAY, FREE FROM THEIR TORMENT. 30 YEARS AFTER HIS DEMISE, WILLIAM'S SOUL IS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, STILL INSIDE THE SUIT, NOW TAKING UP THE NAME SPRINGTRAP. HE SERVES AS THE MAIN ANTAGONIST OF FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 3, AND THE MAIN ANTAGONIST OF FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZERIA SIMULATOR.
IN FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S 3, SPRINGTRAP IS NOT SEEN MUCH IN THE FIRST NIGHTS, BUT HE IS SHOWN MORE AND MORE IN THE LATER NIGHTS. THE PLAYER MUST LURE HIM AWAY FROM THE OFFICE BY PLAYING SOUNDS OF CHILDREN LAUGHING IN DIFFERENT ROOMS. HE WILL SLUMBER INTO THE ROOMS IN HOPES OF MURDERING A CHILD, BUT THEN CONTINUE INTO THE OFFICE ONCE HE SEES HE'S BEEN TRICKED. HIS IDENTITY IS KEPT HIDDEN FROM THE PLAYER, ALTHOUGH MANY PLAYERS NOTICED A ROTTEN JAW INSIDE OF THE MASK, UNTIL THE FINAL MINIGAME OF THE STORY. IT IS REVEALED THAT SPRINGTRAP IS ACTUALLY WILLIAM AFTON, HAVING BEEN KILLED AFTER HIS BODY WAS CRUSHED AND SHREDDED BY MECHANICAL GEARS. THE HORROR ATTRACTION IS BURNT DOWN, BUT AFTON SOMEHOW SURVIVES, ALTHOUGH HIS SUIT AND MASK UNDERGO EXTREME DAMAGE. HE GOES THROUGH UNKNOWN CHANGES AND BECOMES SCRAPTRAP.
IN THE FINALE OF FREDDY FAZBEAR'S PIZZERIA SIMULATOR, THE PLAYER MICHAEL AFTON, LURES AFTON, CIRCUS BABY, FUNTIME FREDDY AND THE PUPPET INTO A FAKE ESTABLISHMENT. THEN, HENRY EMILY SETS THE PLACE ON FIRE WITH MICHAEL WILLINGLY INSIDE. ALL OF THE ANIMATRONICS BURN, AND MICHAEL IS KILLED IN THE PROCESS. 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 GO INTO THE SINKHOLE TO FIND AND FIX HIS OLD SCRAPTRAP BODY AND HIDE IT INSIDE A RECHARGE STATION.
IN THE APPARENT TRUE ENDING OF FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: SECURITY BREACH, GREGORY VENTURES INTO THE REMAINS OF THE BURNT ESTABLISHMENT. IT IS REVEALED THAT VANNY HAD TRANSFERRED AFTON'S MIND INTO A PARTIALLY FIXED SPRINGLOCK/GLAMROCK HYBRID SUIT, ALONG WITH HIS ROTTING CORPSE, AND STILL DESPERATE TO MURDER CHILDREN. GREGORY MUST ACTIVATE SEVERAL HIDDEN SWITCHES THAT LEAD TO INCINERATORS THAT HENRY HAD SET UP PREVIOUSLY. THIS LEADS TO THE PLACE CATCHING ON FIRE YET AGAIN, GREGORY AND FREDDY ESCAPE, BUT RUBBLE BLOCKS OFF THE PATH FOR AFTON, AND HE IS CAUGHT BY THE BLOB AS HE TRIES TO ESCAPE. THE BLOB GRABS HIM BY THE NECK AND DRAGS HIM BACK INTO THE CRUMBLING BUILDING, AND IT COLLAPSES ONTO THEM BOTH. HE IS PRESUMED DEAD. FNAF LORE; BOTTOM TEXT
