However, Afton made his debut in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, which was released on Steam on November 11th, 2014 but was mentioned in the first game via newspaper clippings.

Biography
He was introduced in FNAF 2 through an 8-bit mini game but was officially known by his name through the Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes. In the games, he is also known as The Purple Guy, a child killer who wears the golden Bonny suit to lure and kill children. Currently, apart of his soul inhabits a video game, and comes in the form of Glitchtrap, a virus within the VR game, Five Night’s At Freddy’s Help Wanted. It has said he was killed multiple times; once in FNAF 2 via springlocks, once again in FNAF 3 through a fire and again in FNAF Pizzeria Simulator, again through a fire but it is unknown if he survived this time. William Afton and his business partner, Henry Emily were founding members of Fazbear Entertainment.

In the books, he goes by the alias, Dave Miller, until his identity becomes known to the main protagonist of the books, Charlotte or Charlie Emily, daughter of Henry. Charlie had a twin who was kidnapped at an early age. In Five Night's at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet, it is revealed it was Charlie who was kidnapped by Afton and was one of a series of robots her father had created.

Early Career
William Afton was a business partner to Henry Emily. In the books, they both were the founding members; Henry was on the creative side, working on creating the animatronics while Afton was on the business side. There is not much on Afton's early career. William also had his own business, both in the games and in the books called 'Afton Robotics' where he would create animatronics to kidnap kids for his experiments.

First Act
In the games, the animatronic, Chica, claimed she was the first victim of Afton. The soul residing in Chica is theorised to be a little girl named Susie, who was lured by Afton after her dog died. However, another theory states that Afton's first victim could have been Susie's dog, who possesses Mangle. Both Susie and her dog first appeared in Pizzeria Simulator in the 'Fruity Maze' mini game.

In the books, it is quite unclear who Aftons first victims were. However, the most notable victims were Charlie Emily, Susie, Micheal Brooks, Fritz, Gabriel and a character named Andrew. In the FNAF spin-off series, Fazbear Frights, it is revealed that Andrew along with other souls, possess the Stichwraith. In one of the stories,'The Man in Room 1280', Andrew is keeping Afton alive but in a sleeping purgatory state but attaching himself to him. Afton survived the fires but is described as being 'burned to the point of death' and explains how he is missing his lips, nose and eyes and that his skin is red and black. By the end of the book, Afton is taken to an empty center, where he explodes. In the books, Andrew is described to be a 'Vengeful Spirit'.

Personal Life
Nothing is known about Afton's life, except that he had three kids.

His eldest son, Michael Afton, is theorized to be the protagonist throughout the games. In FNAF Sister Location during the good ending of the game, he was scooped after being tricked by the animatronics, with his internals being replaced by Enard, an animatronic that was created from the other animatronics in the game. However, in a secret ending, he vomits out Enard but is still alive, with his story continuing and ending in FNAF Pizzeria Simulator. This has lead to theories he is a robot created by his father.

Afton's only daughter, Elizabeth Afton was first introduced in FNAF Sister Location via voice dialogues, begging her father to play with the animatronic, Baby. Through an 8-bit mini game, Elizabeth met a tragic fate where she meets Baby who lures her over with ice cream and scoops her inside her, leading to Elizabeth's soul inhabiting the Baby animatronic. In Pizzeria Simulator, she comes back as her own after being kicked out of Enard.

'Crying Child' is Afton's second son who also meets a tragic fate. Through 8-bit mini games in FNAF 4, he shows he loves the Freddy pizzeria's but is afraid of them, presumably, seeing a murder. On his birthday party he begs his oldest brother to let him leave, but is shoved into the animatronic Golden Freddy's mouth, causing his frontal lobe to be bitten off. The FNAF 4 game is 'Crying Child' trying to scare the Nightmare Animatronics away while he recovers from his wounds, but the game ends with a flat line, his death. A new theory indicates that his soul is trapped within Golden Freddy alongside Afton's other victim, 'The One You Should Not Have Killed' or 'Vengeful Spirit'. This spirit was first introduced in FNAF Ultimate Custom Night as is said to be holding William Afton is purgatory.

Mrs. Afton is unknown but many theorists indicate she is the animatronic, Ballora.

Reincarnation
In the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 8-bit mini game, Afton is confronted by the ghosts of the dead children he killed in a backroom. In an attempt to escape from them, he hides himself in the Golden Bonnie suit, but due to the rain seeping in through the ceiling, the spring locks of the suit fail, crushing him. The ghosts fade away leaving Afton in a pool of his own blood and the backroom is sealed away by Henry, in an attempt to bury Afton, hoping he would not continue his murder spree.

In Five Nights at Freddy's 3, Afton comes back in the year 2023 and Springtrap. His soul fused with the animatronic. He is the only animatronic in the game, the rest of hallucinations, otherwise known as Phantom Animatronics. By the end of the game, the building is burned down, in hopes of killing Afton by fire.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, Afton comes back after surviving the fire in the third game. This time, he alongside other animatronics were called to the establishment, to be burned by fire by Henry. Michael Afton is the main protagonist of this game, who also burns int he true ending of the game. One theory suggests that Mike is a robot put together by his father, meaning he could not die unless his soul was burnt. The game also included Scrap Baby, who is possessed by Aftons daughter, Elizabeth and LEFTY, who was a piece of every animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, which included Ballora. All the Aftons burn in the true ending of the game where Henry condemns William to Hell.

In Five Nights at Freddy's: Ultimate Custom Night, the game revolves around either Aftons time in purgatory or in a dream, where he is forced to confront his sins by 'Vengeful Spirit', Cassidy. In the books, it is a spirit who wears a green alligator mask, named Andrew. He appears in the Fazbear Frights books as the Vengeful Spirit and is one of the souls that possess the Stitchwraith.

In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Afton comes back as the virus, Glitchtrap.

Appearance
In Silver Eyes, Afton is described as being 'once fat' but lost weight over the years, described as a "financially shrewd Santa Claus". The book also describes that he has multiple scars over his body, presumably surviving spring locks. In the games, he is only appeared as a purple sprite or being represented by the colour purple. As Springtrap, the suit itself has decayed and parts of Afton's flesh can be seen through the holes of the suit. In the other two books, he comes back as Springtrap.

In the Fazbear Frights series, book number 5, 'Bunny Call', there is a story titled, 'The Man In Room 1280' where the man in the room, is theorised to be Afton, who survived the Pizzeria Simulator blaze. He is described as a man who is on the brink of death, with his face missing leaving holes where his eyes, lips and nose would have been, and his body severely burnt. His organs are left exposed. By the end of the book, he explodes at a FNAF distribution centre.
