Biography[]
Backstory[]
The Afton Family includes William Afton and his three children being Elizabeth, Michael and CC or commonly known as "The Crying Child".
The 1980's[]
In 1983, William killed Charlotte Emily, the daughter of his business partner Henry, outside of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Sometime afterwards, the first death in the family happened, that being the Crying Child. During the day of his birthday, at Fredbear's Family Diner, Michael and his friends put him into the mouth of Fredbear as a prank. However, the animatronic crushed the child's head, killing him. While in the hospital, Michael apologizes for killing him, and the mysterious Fredbear plushie makes a promise to "put him back together". It was later stated that William would kill kids to get "Remnant" to achieve immortality.
In what is heavily implied to be 1985, on the night of June 26th, William would go on to kill five children in what would later be known as the "Missing Children Incident", leading to the closure of the pizzeria. The kids would go on to possess Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, Foxy the Pirate, and the elusive Golden Freddy thanks to the help of Charlotte, who now possesses a Puppet-like security animatronic.
Sometime after the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location closed down, William built Circus Baby's Pizza World, now with robots being made to kidnap and kill children. However, the second death in the family occurred when Elizabeth got too close to one of the robots, Circus Baby, which resulted in her getting pulled into the robot's stomach, crushing her to death. William cancels the grand opening of the location and covers the incident up by saying it was due to gas leaks. He then opens Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rental, an underground location where he rents out the Funtime animatronics to private parties while also experimenting on kidnapped children.
In 1987, a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is opened. William murders another set of innocent children, who possess the new Toy models, and leaves; It's also theorized that he was the first security guard, using a different name. Shortly afterwards, a night guard named Jeremy Fitzgerald applies for the night guard position in the location, who after the first week on the job, gets moved over to day shift, allowing a third night guard, Fritz Smith, to take his place. Unfortunately, the Bite of '87 occurs, resulting in the pizzeria being closed down yet again.
The 1990's[]
The third Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is set to close in 1993 after being open for five years from the year 1988. Michael applies for the night guard job under the alias of "Mike Schmidt" , in which he claims to be here for free pizza, although it's implied he may have other intentions. However, after his first week of working, he's fired due to his general unprofessionalism, bad odor, and his tampering with the robots. The restaurant later closes down in the same year.
Sometime afterwards, William goes to the abandoned location and destroys the four main animatronics: somewhere around this time, he also tasks Mike with going to Circus Baby's to "help" Elizabeth, who is now haunting Baby. After destroying the animatronics, the vengeful spirits that haunted the robots go after their killer. Afton, in a blind panic, goes to the Safe Room and eventually hides into the Spring Bonnie suit, now withered. Due to the conditions of the suit, the spring locks malfunction and kill William, tearing him apart and killing him slowly.
When Mike goes to Baby's, his sister helps him survive against the other animatronics. On the fifth day, every robot in the location transforms into Ennard. Baby, now controlling the amalgamation of machines, reveals that she desperately wants to escape with her friends, and scoops Mike using the Scooper, killing him. With the giant hole in Mike's body, Ennard replaces his insides with itself, escaping the location. After a week, they were forced to escape Mike's body and go into the sewers because Michael's body was rotting. Michael survives because of the Remnant injected into him from the Scooper. He swears to find his father from then on.
The 2020's[]
Thirty years later, William, now known as Springtrap, is revealed to have survived and been taken to Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction that serves as a homage to the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. There, he roams the attraction, attempts to kill the place's night guard for the week, and escapes after it's set on fire.
He is then lured into another Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A day after he was salvaged by his own son, Michael, he reunites with his daughter, now known as Scrap Baby, who became this way after she was ejected out of Ennard by Funtime Freddy so he could be the leader. Days later, as Scrap Baby is about to kill Michael, Henry interrupts her. Henry explains that the entire location is a trap, and sets the pizzeria on fire. Michael and Elizabeth are killed in the fire, while William is kept alive by Golden Freddy and tortured in his nightmares.
William Afton would somehow be able to escape this by having his soul split. Part of it would go to the Stitchwraith and turning into the Afton-Malgmation and the other half going into a piece of technology, which is heavily implied to have turned him into Glichtrap and he would "live" on through then. Somehow his body had survived and he would be repaired and turned into Burntrap.
Trivia[]
- The Afton family appear to be of British origin, as William, Elizabeth and Michael had British accent when talking.
- The word "Afton" is Swedish for "night" or "afternoon".
- A poster found in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator which depicts a ventriloquist in purple suit, his puppet that resembles him, a manic clown holding the chain tied to a smiling yellow bear, is believed to depict the Aftons and the relationship they have with each other.
- It is presumed that the Crying Child, like all of his family, also came back as a haunted animatronic. However, fans still debate what animatronic he is, or if he even came back in the first place.
- It is theorized that Bob's family that gets attacked by Ralpho in Fazbear Frights #5: Bunny Call is a parallel to the Afton family.
