| “ | What’s the matter, Foxy? I thought you wanted an audience! | „ |
| ~ William Afton's most famous quote. |
| “ | I went up there about four times. Picked the worst kids of the bunch, took them back, and I gave it to them. I couldn't do much, of course, they'd start squealing. So I made it quick enough to be efficient, but long enough to make it last... It was hell for them, but it was heaven for me. And... Then I leave. Without the slightest bit of guilt! So, there you go. | „ |

| “ | I bet they're wondering why they're not up in heaven right now, and they got me so, why aren't they dancing up there with all the angels? We're not going anywhere, because He doesn't care. God doesn't care about "justice", or what's "right" or "wrong"... God, just likes to watch interesting things happen, I would know... I would know... I hope He's treating you better than me, Joseph... | „ |

William Afton is the main antagonist of the FNaF VHS series by Squimpus McGrimpus, serving as the overarching antagonist of both Season 1 and the non-canon .mp4 videos, and the main antagonist of Season 2.
He is the arch-nemesis of Michael and being the father of both the former and his youngest son Joseph Afton.
William is also responsible for the Missing Children Incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, having periodically revisiting the pizzeria from 1984 to 1985 to abduct and kill children in order to vent his anger over the death of his son, Joseph, in the Bite of '83, which was caused by his eldest son, Michael.
Following his death from being mutilated by the Spring-locked Bonnie suit, revived, and being moved to Fazbear's Fright, he would become even more vengeful and crazy, seeking revenge on Michael for not saving him upon taking the night shift at Freddy's in 1993.
He was voiced by Nolan David, AKA theniftytable.
Biography[]
William Afton was a man who fathered two children - Michael being born in 1969, and along was Joseph, who was born five years later. After the latter’s birth William grew to love Joseph, but always hated and neglected his older son Michael, viewing him as a failure, which ultimately made Michael grew to torment his younger brother in response. Afton is implied to be an employee or at least the founder of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
In 1983, Joseph, would have his birthday party at the first establishment Fredbear's Family Diner. His older brother, Michael, who still hated Joseph, played a prank on him by putting Joseph at the gaping mouth of the Fredbear animatronic. This results in the animatronic crushing Joseph’s skull and instantly killing the latter, much to Michael's horror. While Fredbear's Family Diner would later shut down, Joseph's ghost would later go on to possess Fredbear and become Golden Freddy.
Following the closure of Fredbear's Family Diner, all information about the incident, now considered to be The Bite of '83, and the old remaining animatronics would then be covered up. Later, the establishment would rebrand itself as “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria”, and would include new characters: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate. The new pizzeria would prove to be popular with children, even spawning a TV show produced by Wondermation Studios.
The aftermath of the great tragedy of Joseph left William to grew weary and more resentful towards Michael, even with the edge to kill him. However, the problem was that he knew he would get caught because of it. Therefore, he managed to find another way to vent his vengeful anger: he would dress up as Spring Bonnie, go to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, lure the "worst" children to contrast Michael into the backrooms, murdering them before hiding their corpses in the animatronics. He did this with five children: Charlotte Emily, who was killed in 1984, Lucas and Angie Collins, Nicole Morales, and Benjamin Nelson, who were all killed in 1985.
After the murders, Fazbear Entertainment would increase security at their pizzeria, introducing the Toy animatronics, which would identify criminals through their facial recognition features, in an effort to prevent the murders from happening again. Meanwhile, the ghosts of the children would go on to possess all four animatronics, with Lucas possessing Bonnie and his sister possessing Chica, while Charlie would possess the newly-introduced Puppet animatronic. Nicole would possess Freddy, while Benjamin would possess Foxy. Afton would also make a recording about why (and how) he committed the murders, before warning Michael at the end, telling him to simply run.
A few more years later, the pizzeria would shut down due to the animatronics starting to smell bad and secrete blood because of them. Not long afterward, Afton would return to the pizzeria and destroy the main four animatronics. However, this would release the ghosts of the children, who would proceed to terrorize him. William dons the Spring Bonnie suit in an attempt to hide from the souls. However, a springlock failure occurs, causing William to be mutilated by the inner animatronic parts, killing him. The backroom where William died would later be walled up.
However, William would possess the suit and once in a while made a tape. The first one was on March 24, 1993. William talks about how he's trapped and possessed the suit. Five days later, on March 29, he notices that the animatronics have been put back together, as they are walking. He notes that the animatronics probably things William had died under the circumstances or they just hate him. William swears yet again that they deserved it.
Four months later, in July 20, 1993, William bets that the animatronics are wondering why are they still trapped. William explains his views over God and reality, challenging that there is no care about right and wrong, and that only God’s was focused with things that might interestingly happen. William hopes that the being is treating Joseph better than himself, acknowledging his humanity and compassion.
Four months passed on November 12th, 1993, William spews out to the brink of insanity and screams out his eldest Son Michael to free him as he verbally tries escape his confined chambers. After cooling off, William scoffs at Michael with another tape and asks how could he have done that to his own father. William swears he's going to get out and kill Michael.
Nine years later, on June 5th, 2002, William laments that he was left rotting in one room for a long time. He realizes he had lost track of time, wondering if it was a month or a year. After saying, he's alone, he curses out everyone.
William would make a final tape in 2008 when Fazbear’s Fright had been established above the original Freddy Fazbear location into a horror-themed attraction, William quickly takes notice himself is being stashed by unknown individual (speculating to think William is a decoration for the attraction) letting him into a new chamber with enough air, giving him an advantage to lurking its hallways, William continued his vow on Michael with the hopes of giving him the “warmest welcome” and the sense of death. He makes a tape in which he screams that he got out, and reveals that he knows the Puppet will make Michael come here. A few days later, on October 14th, he makes one last tape in which he simply says "I see you", while the face of the destroyed suit, now Springtrap (although it was never called that in the episodes), appears.
The same year, under the Puppet's guidance, Michael entered Fazbear's Fright and sets it on fire, burning William to death as he screamed in agony. Michael also died in the blaze himself, freeing all the trapped spirits, sending William to Hell, and making Joseph forgive Michael.
Personality[]
William is abusive, domestic, sociopathic, and unrelentive cold-blooded monster. He outright explains he has no remorse for his victims, commenting on making their deaths "quick enough to be efficient, but long enough to make it last." He is quite petty as he only thinks of the children to be a reliant to vent himself towards Michael’s cause. He genuinely believes he has done no wrong but only gives a sense of dread when he thinks about Joseph, even showing no justification for his victims hating him for his actions.
Despite hating Michael, he loved Joseph dearly. His accidental death at the hands of Michael drove him into grief, and would be the very cause of his infamous bloodlust. Even when being trapped in a room inside Spring Bonnie for at least four months, William hopes God is treating Joseph better than himself, showing he's still human. However, even before the death of Joseph, William thought of Michael as someone not worth his time due to being a troublesome kid, viewing him as a failure. After Joseph's death, William began to emotionally abuse Michael, constantly screaming and shouting at him.
Succumbing to the spring-lock suit, he has become relentless, ruthless, and as a savage-beast looking for vengeance and taste of despair, Despite all this, he knows Charlie's plan and that she'll make Michael come to Fazbear's Fright.

| “ | The hidden room in the bathroom hallway. The boards. Break them. I'm in there. I'm in there. Michael. Your father. I'm your father. I want to talk to you. I only want to see my boy. | „ |
| ~ William Afton, trying to manipulate Michael into letting him out of the safe room. |
| “ | GRAH-AAAAAAAHHHH!!! AH!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! (cough) AAAAAHHHH!!! (heavy breathing) MICHAEL!! MICHAEL!!!! M- | „ |
| ~ Afton screaming in Night Security Training Video.

| “ | Hello, whoever you are. You just found a cassette tape hidden in my bedroom. Isn't that strange? A man like William Afton, someone so simple and plain, hiding a cassette tape. Why would he be hiding anything? I’m sure that, if you’re from around here, you’ve heard of the somewhat recent happenings with Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Three cases of one, one case of two. All of that adding up to the "five missing children of Freddy's." That was me. I'll elaborate on that later. And, y'know, I wouldn't call myself plain, either. I mean, people may think I’m plain when they first meet me. Just a father taking care of himself and his kids, who tragically lost his youngest in '83, and supposedly just got over it, right? Wrong. I'll never get over it... and... the fact that he died isn't the only reason. You see, Michael did it. Not a surprise, most people know that, but it wasn't an accident. He keeps saying it was but he's a liar. He hates me. And he hated Joseph. You see, Michael wasn't settled with being a failure, and how I loved Joseph just so much more. So he tormented him. Eventually, killing him. And y'know, that's why I didn't love him in the first place, he was always a terrible kid, not worth my time. But now I hate him more than I ever have. He's done so much to hurt my soul in one day alone. My God, Joseph... Ever since he killed him, I’ve wanted to put my hands around his neck and just squeeze the life out of his lungs, but of course, if I ever did that, I'd get caught. I couldn't work because I was thinking too much about Mike. I couldn't concentrate on anything. The papers started piling up, and it kept fogging up my mind, and I needed a release. Then I had an idea. Hey... Maybe it doesn't necessarily have to be Michael. It could be any other brat as long as they're like him. Now. Where do all of those children go? Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. And hey, if they're like Michael, they deserve it. I went up there about four times. Picked the worst kids of the bunch, took them back, and I gave it to them. I couldn't do much, of course, they'd start squealing. So I made it quick enough to be efficient, but long enough to make it last... It was hell for them, but it was heaven for me. And... Then I leave. Without the slightest bit of guilt! So, there you go. And, now that you've heard this, you should know... That I check this spot every day, to see if this tape has moved. I've seen it so many times, I'll be able to notice even the slightest difference. I will know. So you'd better put it back, Michael. As neatly as you can. And start running. | „ |
| ~ William Afton's monologue in Memories. |
| “ | I'm trapped... The locks went off, while I was wearing it... Somehow, I thought that thing would protect me... After all, I'm not good with thinking on my feet... Now I'm awake... My heart stopped beating, and they put the boards back up, so there goes my only way out... Either way, it hurts too much for me to get up... I guess it works the same for me as it did for them... I died, and end up as one of these... I just wish I knew about that part earlier... I don't know how long I'm gonna be in here... | „ |
| ~ Afton's first tape in Finale, on March 24, 1993. |
| “ | They're still alive... I can hear them moving around outside, someone must have put them back together... I always thought this place was closed down, it looked dirty enough... and they probably think I'm still dead... Or they just hate me that much... They really are just like him... They deserved it... It shows... | „ |
| ~ Afton's second tape on March 29, 1993. |
| “ | I bet they're wondering why they're not up in Heaven right now... They got me, so... why aren't they dancing up there with all the Angels? We're not going anywhere, because He doesn't care. God doesn't care about "justice", or what's "right" or "wrong"... God, just likes to watch interesting things happen, I would know... I would know... I hope He's treating you better than me, Joseph... | „ |
| ~ Afton's third tape in July 20, 1993, showing his beliefs and love for Joseph. |
| “ | MICHAEL!!! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!!! (cough) MI- (cough) -CHAEL!!! MICHAEL!!!!! (bangs on door) HELP ME- | „ |
| ~ Afton's fourth tape on November 12, 1993. |
| “ | How could you do that, to your own father?! I hate you. I've ALWAYS hated you. I'm going to kill you, and I'm going to make it HURT. Oh, how I miss the way you used to cry when I screamed at you. It's going to get SO MUCH worse. I'm going to get out and I'm going to find you, and I'll give you a REAL reason to cry... | „ |
| ~ Afton's fifth tape on November 13, 1993. |
| “ | How could you just go without me and leave me rotting in a room for God knows how long? It could be a month, or a year, I don't know, I've lost track of time, I can't... I don't know... I'm alone... Damn you, GOD DAMN ALL OF YOU L- | „ |
| ~ Afton's sixth tape on June 5, 2002. |
| “ | (breath) I GOT OUT-I GOT OUT, I GOT OUT! I don't know where they took me but somewhere new... so much more room to breathe... There's so many things in here. I remember every single one of them... They have your mask, Michael, the fox... hehehehe-I HATE looking at it, it makes me feel so alive... Come on, Michael, come visit me... I know you'll do it, she'll make you do it... I'll give you the warmest welcome you can imagine... | „ |

Trivia[]
- Due to the non-canonical nature of the .mp4 videos, and not being mentioned in Memories, it is unknown if William's only daughter Elizabeth exists in the series.
- When he murdered his victims, William killed three children at first, before later killing two more. It's likely that the two later victims were Lucas and his sister.
- As revealed in Facial Recognition Testing, if Afton is sighted by the Toy Animatronics, instead of making a beep, they will outright attack him.
- Afton has an American accent, as revealed in Pirate Cove Pre-Show, as opposed to his British accent in the main series.
- Afton's portrait is a highly edited version of Former U.S. Representative Tom DeLay's mugshot.
- The ending of Nonexistent Video heavily implies that Charlie was a friend of Michael's in life, even confessing that she loved him. Whether this contributed to why William killed her is unknown, but it is likely as his hatred of Michael was his primary motivation, and she was apparently his first victim.
- It's unknown if William worked at or founded Fredbear's and Freddy's alongside Henry or by himself, or if he even worked at the locations. It's even unknown if Henry exists in this universe. However, William talking about "the papers piling up" and having dressed in a mascot suit to lure the children seem to imply that he does work at the establishment in some way, whether it be as owner, co-owner, technician or suit performer.
- In the credits of the Finale, it is revealed that the Puppet is indeed Charlie Emily like in the games, which indicates her father Henry might exist in the FNaF VHS universe. However, as Squimpus stated, in this universe he's "just a dad" and is not affiliated with Fazbear Entertainment in any way.
