William Afton is the main antagonist of the fanfic, Mike's New Ghostly Family.
He is a serial killer and the abusive father of Elizabeth, Michael, and Evan. After years following the Pizzeria fire and being tortured in Hell, William vows to torture the former night guard, Mike Schmidt, after he adopts the ghosts of the Missing Children.
What Makes Him a Scrappy?[]
- While he was created to be a Hate Sink, he is extremely flat in terms of personality, as he spends all of his appearances throwing tantrums, insulting the other characters, including calling Liz a "Incompetent little bitch," or making blunt and unplanned attempts at violence. Unlike other characters, he never grows beyond this and actually abandons his other traits in favor of his negative traits.
- He lacks his canon counterpart's cold personality and manipulative nature, instead being an unnecessarily arrogant and dimwitted man who is easily defeated by Schmidt.
- He fails to cement himself as a genuine threat, as many of his plans are undone thanks to at least one simple oversight while anytime he’s brought up by the other characters, it always involves a rant about him or looking for ways to torment him.
- While he does get the implication that he was a nice person when with his wife, it’s deliberate vagueness prevents it from being a genuine characterization.
