Michael Afton

Michael Afton is a central figure in the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) franchise, known for his pivotal role as the son of the troubled and enigmatic William Afton, creator of the iconic animatronics. A young man with a haunted past, Michael's life is a journey of guilt, redemption, and the pursuit of atonement for his family's actions. While he initially appeared as a mere employee at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in the games, deeper lore suggests a more complex history involving his participation in the rescue of his younger sister, Elizabeth Afton, at Circus Baby's Pizza World, his own possession by the remnant of his sister's animatronic, and a series of unfortunate events that have led him to be the key player in various supernatural occurrences. Michael's character is driven by a desire to correct his father's wrongs and save the children's souls trapped within the animatronics. He is often perceived as a sympathetic character, haunted by his past decisions and the consequences of his father's actions.
