I don't believe in ghosts, but after what I just saw, I'm not so sure about anything anymore. I mean, from where I stood, I swore it looked like the Stitchwraith was an animatronic contraption - and there was some supernatural light coming out of it. Like, a ghost? Like the animatronic was haunted by ghosts. Maybe the ghosts were kids Afton killed? Or maybe it was Afton himself. | „ |
| ~ Detective Larson in Epilogue 6. |
William Afton is the secondary antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights anthology novel series, serving as the titular overarching protagonist of The Man in Room 1280 and the secondary antagonist of the Stitchwraith Stingers.
He is serial killer of children who was forcefully kept alive by one of his victims, Andrew, so he could be tortured as punishment. After being taken to Heracles Hospital and becoming the Man in Room 1280, Afton first tricked Andrew into letting him go before following the boy to continue his murders.
Eventually, Afton merged with all the objects he corrupted to become the Afton's Amalgamation and, with help from Eleanor, planned to continue his killing spree before being stopped and killed by the Puppet.
Background[]
Before the Stingers[]
William Afton was one of the founders of Fazbear Entertainment, and unlike his other iterations, was well known for his murders. He committed several murders while wearing the Spring Bonnie suit, including that of Andrew and presumably of Susie as well. He was eventually caught in a horrific fire, but Andrew attached his soul to him, to anchor him to life so he could suffer.
The Man in Room 1280[]
He's eventually put in Heracles Hospital in Room 1280, his body being completely burnt and on the verge of death, with Andrew still inside of him and tormenting him in his mind. The government later took him off of life support. However, he continued to live. During his stay, he became the source of speculation amongst the nurses, sensing something evil in him, a theory that's further believed after scans revealed two minds inhabiting his brain.
Years later, local priest Arthur Blythe was called to the hospital to give him his last rites, but William began to communicate with him, first by creating beeps through the monitors, and next by tracing letters with a single finger, spelling out FAZBENTERDISCENTER. Arthur figured out that it was short hand for the Fazbear Entertainment Distribution Center, which Arthur then figured out he wanted to visit. He began to petition for the hospital to allow the man to visit, initially being refused. All three nurses attempt to kill William, but all are prevented by Andrew.
During this time, Arthur was able to pester the hospital enough to be granted temporary custody of William to take him to the distribution center. When they arrived, he burst into chunks of flesh and gristle, seemingly releasing the tormenting specter, as evidenced by tiny footsteps coming from the man. William lives from this as well, anchoring on Andrew without him knowing. William was also able to manipulate Andrew's anger, allowing it to have deadly effects on whatever it touched.
Stitchwraith Stingers[]
William remains anchored to Andrew without his knowledge for a long time, up until the point where Andrew possessed an animatronic dog named Fetch. This dog eventually ended up in the possession of Phineas Taggart, a scientist that studied human emotion and its power. One day, the broken down Fetch animatronic, a three foot tall doll and an animatronic endoskeleton were used in Phineas' experiments, the three objects put together to form a being that had agony soaked in from several other miscellaneous objects from his collection. This being comes to life and kills the doctor.
Andrew awakens inside of the endoskeleton, meeting another dead child named Jake, who is in control of the body they're in. Andrew reveals that he had used his anger to infect a number of items, back when he was at the Fazbear Entertainment Distribution Center. Jake decides to search around for the items and destroy them so they won't cause any harm. With a sentient endoskeleton wandering around, it was bound to be seen by people, and it was labelled as an urban legend; the Stitchwraith. William remains in hiding during their hunt, planning to reveal himself when the time is right. During this time in hiding, he was also able to channel Andrew's anger, so that any person the Stitchwraith touched felt the emotions pulsing through them to the point where they bled black and died, thus forcefully turning Andrew and the endoskeleton they were in into a killing machine.
After collecting several items, such as the deactivated remains of Fetch, the crushed parts of a Plushtrap Chaser, an Ella doll and a torn apart Foxy animatronic, Jake begins to destroy the items, but is stopped by Detective Larson, a police investigator that had been trying to find the Stitchwraith. Andrew attempts to kill the detective, but Jake stops him, causing the Stitchwraith to fall into the trash compactor they were using.
When Jake tried to pull Andrew into his memory to keep him safe from the annihilation of the Stitchwraith, William revealed himself, first as a colorful, shapeless blob, and then as the burnt skeletal man from before, but this time with two rabbit ears and a claw. Andrew mysteriously disappeared, and William's mangled form attacked Jake, engulfing him in darkness temporarily. William's spirit then fused with the huge mound of junk comprising of the Plushtrap Chaser, Ella, Fetch and Foxy. After fusing with the four animatronics, he began to suck in even more of the junk around him, including Eleanor, a female shaped endoskeleton. This fifteen foot tall amalgamation of animatronic scrap plans to attack Larson.
Afton was able to get an advantage by stabbing Larson, transferring his infection to him, but Larson persevered. Afton was impaled by a forklift drove by the detective, crashing through the walls of factory and towards the lake nearby. Afton overpowers Larson's force, crushing the forklift to pieces, but not before the broken mask of the Puppet, as well as several of its limbs went within Afton's new form.
From there, the Puppet was able to make the animatronic parts free themselves from the salvaged fusion, forcing the Agony to tear itself apart. Afton screams as his form dissipates, and the broken body of trash fell into the water. Afton, alongside the Puppet and the other animatronic parts, sank into the bottom of the lake never to be seen again. Larson lived, as the Stitchwraith (now solely possessed by Jake) used its energy to burn away at the detective's wound, removing the last remains of Afton's infection finally putting down the serial killer, for good.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Reanimation: William Afton's powers allowed for all the animatronic parts to fuse together and mend to create the Agony. The parts were placed intricately so that the giant trash monster had limbs to move around with. It could hold itself together while moving and being hit by tons of force, such as when Larson impaled it with a forklift and threw it through one of the factory's walls.
- Absorption: The Agony was like a magnet, being able to absorb all the leftover metal and machine parts within the factory. Anytime an object is absorbed, it's neatly integrated into the metallic body. It even absorbed the parts of the forklift while destroying it. Fully intact and sentient beings who are strong enough like Jake and Eleanor can resist being absorbed.
- Super Strength: Due to its large size, the Agony can push back against the force of a forklift and break through walls with ease.
- Infectious Touch: The Agony carries over William Afton's infection, and is able to transfer it just by injuring someone. When Larson was impaled by the Agony, the infection was transferred into him without him being aware of it.
