Plot

In 1982, at the main site of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Charlotte Emily observes William Afton, the establishment's creator and a serial killer, enticing a young boy into the backroom with a yellow rabbit costume. When the adults disregard her cries for help, she ventures inside and witnesses William attempting to kill the boy. As she carries the boy back to the main stage, William stabs her. She succumbs to her injuries and falls into a trapdoor, from which a puppet-like animatronic known as the Marionette emerges, holding Charlotte's lifeless body. The establishment is closed down, yet the event is concealed, and several franchise locations are launched shortly thereafter<ref name=":0" />.
