William Afton

"'There once was a sick, twisted monster, who stalked its victims from the shadows. '"William Afton is the protagonist of A Shadow Over Freddy's.

Appearance
William Afton's appearance is only seen during The Puppet's stories, and is represented by a male figure with a black scribble in place of his head, with bright white orbs for eyes. He is seen as a child, a teen and an adult, and has no distinguishing features.

Backstory
William Afton's backstory is revealed during the stories given by The Puppet at the end of each night. William first discovers that a soul can persist after death in the form of Remnant when he kills the family's dog as a child and it possesses his toy robot. William spends a lengthy amount of time researching the idea of Remnant with little success, and later murders his abusive father in an attempt to force his Remnant to possess a felt doll he had made. This attempt fails for unknown reasons, although he keeps the toy robot which is possessed by the Remnant of his deceased dog. These events then directly lead into the events of the mainline FNaF games, culminating with William dying at the end of FNaF 6. The Puppet traps William within his own personal purgatory in which he is tormented by the same spirits of the children he murdered in the form of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy in an attempt to determine if he feels remorse for his actions, and to decide if he is worthy of being allowed to pass on.

Ending
The ending is achieved at the end of Night 5, when the player discovers a chest that reveals a Golden Freddy plushie upon being opened. The player then blacks out, to reveal that William has been locked within a springlock suit. The Puppet then berates WIlliam for failing to show remorse for his actions, and condemns him to an eternity of torment at the hands of his own creations.
