Today I’m going to present you a research I did regarding the etymology (the study of the form and origin of words) of some FNAF characters’ names from several continuities. I’ve seen some similar posts like this already, but I wanted to expand upon this information.
- 8 William Afton: Purple Guy
- 7 The Animatronic's Souls
- 6 The Bite of 83
- 5 Michael Afton
- 4 Ultimate Custom Night
- 3 The Bite of 87
- 2 Henry and The Pizzeria
- 1 The Vengeful Spirit
Undoubtedly, the principal villain of the FNAF world is William Afton, AKA "Purple Guy." He was given this name by fans based on his appearance in the FNAF 2mini-games. Though the animatronics seem scary and murderous enough, they are a result of Afton's own crimes, of which they are the primary victims. William is actually trapped inside the anima...
Contrary to what many might think, most of the animatronics, certainly the original ones, are not programmed to be killer robots. They are actually possessed by the souls of the children killed by William Afton (except for Springtrap, which is possessed by Afton's own soul). This was not necessarily an accident either, as Afton is heavily implied i...
The bite of 1983 was depicted at the end of Five Nights at Freddy's 4 as an 8bit cutscene. While this plot element might not be as famous as "the bite of 87," it is quite an important event in the series. The game gives little in the way of objective facts about it, however, the prevailing theory is that most of FNAF 4takes place in the crying chil...
Michael is the closest thing to a "protagonist" in the series aside from Gregory. He is the brother of the crying child and Elizabeth Afton (who possesses Circus Baby in FNAF: Sister Location), and is the player character in FNAF 1, Sister Location, and Pizzeria Simulator. Sister Locationis his chronological first appearance, with him being the tec...
What might have seemed like a fun, non-canonical series finale (as if) at the time of its release, FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night is the subject of a few major theories. The most prominent of these is that the player character is none other than William Afton himself after he'd been burned to death in Pizzeria Simulator, making this his personal corne...
One of the most infamous events in FNAF history, the bite of 1987 occurred in the second Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location. It was briefly mentioned in the first game by phone guy and has been speculated and theorized on ever since. The exact animatronic which did the biting is currently unknown, as is the victim (though some speculate it to be Jerem...
Henry, also known as "cassette man," is one of the most pivotal characters of the FNAF storyline. Once the business partner to William Afton, he eventually discovered his crimes (which included the murder of Henry's own daughter) and of the souls that now possess the animatronics. Consequently, Henry resolved to destroy them and William. This culmi...
According to the FNAF lore, there was one child killed by William Afton who would later come back to haunt him unlike any other spirit. This child, possibly named Cassidy, is known as the Vengeful Spirit in FNAF: Ultimate Custom Night. It most often takes the form of both Golden Freddy and as an obscured negative image of a child's face that is som...

To avoid being caught, Afton took the name Steve Raglan and become a career counselor, while his daughter Vanessa would change her last name to Shelly and become a police officer. As implied by Vanessa, William began to lure people to work at Freddy's in order for the animatronics to kill them.
The concept for Five Nights at Freddy's stemmed from the negative reception of Scott Cawthon's earlier game, Chipper & Sons Lumber Co., where players said that the main character resembled a "scary animatronic animal."
The events of Five Nights at Freddy's takes place. The following week, Michael Afton gets a job at the location under the name Mike Schmidt, spending a week there. On his seventh night, Michael tampers with the animatronics, changing their AI values, thus changing their aggression.
Golden Freddy, specifically, is possessed by a girl named Cassidy, who has a permanent grudge against William for his crimes. Moving to the first game in the timeline, FNaF 4, William's younger son (whose name is presumed to be Evan) is scared of his dad's animatronics.
