William Afton is the villainous co-creator of Fazbear Entertainment, but his story can only be pieced together with obscure clues and references...

William Afton (also known as Purple Guy, Springtrap, Glitchtrap and Burntrap) combined his love of robotics and family style pizza to create the chain of restaurants known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, but a series of tragedies pushed Afton into a life of evil, horror, and destruction at the hands of his own creations.

In this video I'll be analyzing William Afton, chronologizing his entire timeline, and exploring how he is a representation of game's developer, Scott Cawthon. I'll also go over theories, what happened with Afton's soul after his death, and what the future might bring for mascot horror's most iconic villain.
