William Afton

William Amour Afton is a short, effeminate man with long, scruffy brown hair half bleached blonde. He’s pale skinned and freckled, and springlock scars from an incident in 1980 cover his whole body, as well as scars on his wrists. He wears multiple ash leaves in his hair, taken from a tree near where his children’s graves are. He wears one for each of his lost kids as a sign of remembrance.

William is the main protagonist of The Wilting Tree, main antagonist of Breach In Security (as Glitchtrap), ex-partner of Henry Emily, ex-husband of Lauren Afton and the father of Michael, Elizabeth and Evan. He was born to Lily and George Afton in France in 1942, but later moved to Hurricane, Utah to pursue a career in mechanics and engineering, where he met Henry.

Personality
William is very loud, confident and egotistical, and sees himself as higher and more important than most of his peers. He dislikes being argued with or told he's incorrect, and sometimes struggles to easily tell apart right and wrong. Most of his actions are on impulse and he jumps to conclusions quickly, though in his mind most of what he does is with good intention. He’d rather act on his own will rather than seek second opinions or help, and therefore often ends up bottling up lots of his problems and feelings. William’s temper is short, and he gets angered easily, and he wont hesitate to act on it. He shouts and raises his voice a lot, though rarely around those he is on good terms with who he will instead scold or make snarky remarks to. After the events of The Bite of '83, William is especially paranoid and very overprotective of his children, and could also be described as cowardly or foolish. Despite his attitude he has a large soft spot for his family, and supports them no matter what.

William will also occasionally speak in French when he's particularly worried or angry, and him doing so is a telltale sign of it.

He's often described as being very extroverted and friendly by his coworkers, and very charming. He's got a very witty sense of humor, and isn't scared to mock or offend most people if he can get a good laugh out of it.

Detailed History

Henry Emily
The phrase 'opposites attract' is definitely true in the case of Henry and William, the two being very good friends and sharing a strong bond despite their very different personalities. Through the years of building up the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza bussiness the two became closer, and were relieved when everything started off well. The feelings weren't entirely platonic however, and the two had a secret affair over the course of several years, despite them both being married.

1983-1985
As things started to go downhill following Evan and later Charlotte's death, William and Lauren's breakup and the closing of Fredbear's Family Diner, Henry moved in with William and his kids so it was easier to manage things, but also so they could be closer together. William slowly started to become emotionally dependent on Henry during his downward spiral into madness after murdering Charlotte, feeling immense guilt over the situation but also unable to tell him anything.

1985-1995
William's mental state only worsensed as time went on, and as everyone started to grow suspicious of the two Henry only became more defensive of William, being oblivious to the fact William was the killer. When William eventually broke down and spilt the truth to Henry, he was heartbroken and ended their relationship immediately, feeling too betrayed and disgusted to want to be there any longer. The next morning, William went back to Freddy and Friend's Family Diner to retrive the Springbonnie suit, and Henry, having a hunch something was going to happen, set out to find him after telling Clay Burke about everything. When Henry found William, he had set off the springlocks in the suit and was screaming for his help, but Henry decided to leave him be. William didn't blame him for the decision he made, but still was very upset by it as he died.

2010
After hearing news of William's return in the form of Springtrap fifteen years later, and him being on "display" at Fazbear Frights, Henry set out to rid of him, setting the building aflame. However when almost got unintentionally trapped in the building, William recognised him and showed him the way out. Henry, despite being grateful, still knew he had to end this, and so he and Michael Afton created Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place as a trap to lure him back and kill him once and for all.

2011
During the fire, Henry chose not to escape despite William begging him to. Henry smiled, before dying from smoke inhalation.

2011 - Present
Henry took the form of Old Man Consequenses as a ghost, and encountered William many times while he was in purgatory. Henry chose not to listen to William's multiple stale attempts at an apology, and William was subsequently angered by this to the point it drove him more insane than he was before he became Springtrap. This anger fuelled his drive to escape and soon embody Glitchtrap.

Trivia

 * William was the one that had the idea for the springlock suits to be what they were, however due to William pressuring him with wanting to open as soon as possible Henry ended up rushing them.
 * After William got springlocked once he found a way to jam the springlocks back so they wouldn’t budge at all, essentially locking the springlocks in place so it couldn’t be used as a robot unless you forcibly pulled them back.
 * He actually regretted the murders quite a bit and his kids would end up catching him crying himself to sleep over it (especially since he knew the pain of losing a child as well) but he’d always pass it off as being over the loss of Evan or Elizabeth.
 * William has paranoid-personality-disorder and depression, only worsened by the deaths of his children and downfall of his business.
 * He has a superiority complex.
 * Since William's childhood pet was killed by one, William has carried a large hatred for foxes, despite Foxy being heavily based off Michael. He also collects skulls and bones.
 * William is very vain, and cares heavily for his appearance and first impressions.
 * The leaves in his hair can be used as markers to determine what time period it is. William has a single leaf after 1983 and the death of Evan, two after 1985 and the death of Elizabeth and a third, bloodied and wilted leaf in 1995, shortly before his death.
 * Despite loving his children a lot, looking back William wishes he wasn't so set on starting up Freddy's and just lived his life with Henry instead.
 * He is gay, and biromantic.
 * William is quite a good singer, and really enjoys preforming.
 * As a kid, his classmates nicknamed him Napoleon. One because he was short, and two because he’d always boss people around and try and take control of everything, and nobody liked doing group projects with him.

 * William often wears eyeliner and black nail polish.
 * He's able to do the splits.
