+ | '''Freddy Fazbear''' is a major antagonist and the titular mascot of the ''{{W|Five Nights at Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's}}'' franchise. |
||
− | + | He is an animatronic bear and the mascot of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Seemingly a nice and innocent animatronic entertainer for children, he is actually possessed by the soul of a child named '''Gabriel''' and actively tries to kill the security guards of at least two Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations, which he mistakes for his [[William Afton (Five Nights at Freddy's)|murderer]]. |
|
+ | In ''Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery'', he is voiced by Tim Simmons, who also voiced [[Nightmare Freddy]]. |
||
− | He is a seemingly nice and innocent animatronic, who is actually possessed by the soul of a child (Theorised to be named Gabriel) and actively tries to kill the security guard, which he mistakes as his murderer. |
||
− | |||
− | He is voiced by Kellen Goff. |
||
− | |||
− | ==History== |
||
− | Before becoming Freddy, he was a child named theorised to be named Gabriel, who attended a birthday party at ''Freddy Fazbear's Pizza'', a successful chain of pizzerias featuring singing animatronics who take care of customer's children. At the party, the five children were lured away from the others by [[Springtrap (Five Nights at Freddy's)|Spring Bonnie]], one of the two disused spring lock animatronics at the restaurant (actually the recurring villain [[William Afton]] wearing the Spring Bonnie suit). |
||
− | |||
− | He lured them into a back room where he brutally murdered them and hid their bloodied corpses inside soon-to-be-released animatronics, including Freddy Fazbear. The children's spirits remained trapped in the animatronics. When the animatronics were released, parents were quick to ask about blood and mucus oozing from their eyes and mouths; and deemed the animatronics too creepy and smelly, causing the restaurant to close down. |
||
− | |||
− | Soon the "new and improved" Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was opened, starring new versions of Freddy and Co. based on the creepy animatronics, known as the ''Toy Animatronics''. The old ones were kept for parts and would come to life at night, with unknown reasons causing all the other animatronics to do the same (with the exception of the Puppet, who was seemingly constantly sentient throughout the day and night). Every night, they attacked the night guards, hoping one of them would be the man that destroyed their lives. It is implied that [[Toy Freddy|the toy version of Freddy]] is also possesed. |
||
− | |||
− | Eventually, this pizzeria was closed down after somebody used one of the "yellow suits" (Most likely William Afton was the user, and SpringBonnie was the suit) once again for sinister purposes and was replaced a few years later with yet another pizzeria of the same name, this time only using the original animatronics (with modifications to their designs to improve upon the original scary appearances). They still attacked the night guards, just as before, and their behavior continued until the pizzeria closed for good after its popularity reached an all-time low. |
||
− | |||
− | Some time later, the murderer, [[William Afton]] himself, returned to Freddy's, and destroyed the animatronics, thinking that would stop them from hunting him down. Instead, he unwittingly released the spirits of the first four children he murdered (The fifth one still appeared, altough their body was never destroyed), who converged on him in the pizzeria's Safe Room. In terror, he hid in the same Spring Bonnie suit he had worn decades earlier. |
||
− | |||
− | Despite thinking that he was safe, the suit's age caused it to malfunction and kill him, with the spirits leaving him, still trapped in the destroyed bodies. |
||
− | |||
− | 30 years later, Freddy's torso and head (Everything that is left of him) is brought to Fazbear's Fright, the horror attraction. The location burns down, finally releasing Gabriel's soul from Freddy Fazbear's body. |

||
+ | In the easter egg of Freddy's distorted poster, showing him tearing off his own head, one of his hands is in the same positions as the hand prints on his chin. |
||
− | This led some to speculate that [[Nightmare Fredbear|Fredbear]], also known as [[Golden Freddy]], a character that appears sparingly in hallucinations and mini-games throughout the series, appears very similar to Freddy. Some had believed he was simply a golden version of Freddy, thus his name. However, he and Freddy are two different characters, as shown in ''Five Nights at Freddy's 4''. |
||
− | Freddy does not look too robotic as the only mechanical parts that are exposed are his wristbands in each arm which connect his hands to the rest of the body. However, no other straps nor lacerations can be spotted on his well-conserved body, and his endoskeleton is totally hidden by the amount of fake orange fur, which could mean that the animatronic, in spite of his decaying imprisonment, remained in a perfected state (as opposite to [[Foxy the Pirate|Foxy]]). However, as a result of his abandonment, the fur is much more unclean, as some dust can be spotted in various places. Also, the player can encounter an eyeless still image of Freddy after their death in ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'', albeit this event occurs rarely. |

+ | In the second game, which is a prequel that takes place before the first, it is revealed that Freddy used to be more damaged and was not in his perfected, flawless state from before, much like Foxy. However, from the four withered animatronics, he still appears as the least damaged. |

+ | Notable changes are his somewhat cruder and much more dirty body, large tears on his arms and legs, visible wires connecting the robot's joints and a differently-shaped boxy head with all of his square-shaped teeth clearly visible. He also seems to be crooked. |
+ | Unlike Withered Foxy who has a moldy endoskeleton and Withered Bonnie who has a scratched endoskeleton, Withered Freddy and Withered Chica's are almost brand-new other than bloodstains on Chica's jaws. This implies that these two were the most recently retired, probably after Chica bit someone's head. |
||
− | ==Personality and Behavior== |
||
− | As the mascot of the restaurant, the day Freddy appears as a nice, joyful, and lovely mascot who takes care of customer's child and always trying to cheer them up, as expected from an animatronic. However, once he is alone in the dark, he turns into a cunning, dangerous and malevolent robot, willing at all cost to catch and stuff the security guard into an endoskeleton. The reason for this behavior is that the animatronic is, in fact, possessed by the vengeful spirit of a child (c.f. [[Freddy Fazbear#History|History]]). |
||
+ | Following the closure of the "New and Improved Freddy Fazbear's" at the end of the second game and the scrapping of the toy animatronics, Freddy and his fellow withered animatronics were refurbished and rebuilt, gaining the physical appearances they had in the first game. |
||
− | Freddy is the original leading antagonist of the first game, and acts as such, sitting at the side and allowing the other animatronics to do all the work in the earlier nights, and when they fail, he finally comes into action himself. In ''FNAF 1'', he is very intelligent and strategic, and also presumably the leader of the gang. If the power runs out, he always is the first to enter the office, even if he is the animatronic furthest from said office, meaning the other animatronics may be allowing him the privilege (as leader) of getting the night guard. However, even if Freddy's AI is set to level 20 on Custom Night, he won't move until Bonnie and Chica have left the Show Stage. |
||
+ | ===Shamrock Freddy=== |
||
− | When on the move, Freddy lets out a very deep belly laugh that echoes throughout the building. When sped up, it is revealed to be the laugh of a child, seemingly a girl. Plus, as revealed in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJdkeDxkqAQ this video], Freddy's scream is a heavily modified version of an actual child's scream. This is in line with the fact Freddy is ''actually'' possessed by a child, and not simply a failing artificial intelligence. |
||
+ | Shamrock Freddy is a recolor of Freddy Fazbear but with a few differences. He has clove green in complexion, lime green in irises, white scleras, has a dark green leprechaun-themed hat, a golden beaded necklace and a dark green bowtie. He was released to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, explaining his look. |
||
+ | ===Firework Freddy=== |
||
− | This, along with the fact that Freddy in ''FNAF 1'' consistently spends time in the girls' bathroom while stalking the player (Freddy in ''FNAF 2'' will also stand close to the girls' bathroom upon leaving the Parts/Services Room), has given rise to the theory that the child possessing Freddy Fazbear is a young murdered girl. Altough ''FFPS'' deconfirms this theory, and confirms that Freddy is possesed by a boy named Gabriel. |
||
+ | Firework Freddy has the same look as Freddy Fazbear because of being a skin, but now wears a torn outfit. He wears a light blue-colored tank top with star patterns on it and a grey shorts, as well as a red bowtie and a top hat with red and white stripes and stars. A notable appearance on Freddy is that he holds a large firecracker that is ignited, and he also has a sunglasses on him. |
||
+ | ==Personality== |
||
− | Unlike the other animatronics, Freddy appears to be a [[:Category:Sadists|sadist]], toying with the night guard in order to break him, and laughing at his misery, which make him far more villainous than the other animatronics. That, and he plays his music before killing the guard if the place runs out of power, leaving the guard in complete and utter fear, not knowing when he will be killed. Freddy may be a mutilator as well because once the protagonist is killed, his eyes and teeth are shown through the openings of the suit, with the former's eyes popped through the suit's eye sockets and teeth showing within the mouth of the suit. In the second game, Freddy appears in the ''Game Over'' screen and the point of view is from inside the suit. |

+ | As the mascot of the restaurant, the day Freddy appears as a nice, joyful, and lovely mascot who takes care 's child and always trying to cheer them up, as expected from an animatronic. However, once he is alone in the dark, he turns into a cunning, dangerous and malevolent robot, willing at all cost to catch and stuff the security guard into an endoskeleton suit. The reason for this behavior is that the animatronic is, in fact, possessed by the vengeful spirit of a child named Gabriel who was murdered at Freddy’s. |
||
+ | Freddy is the original leading antagonist of the first game, and acts as such, sitting at the side and allowing the other animatronics to do all the work in the earlier nights, and when they fail, he finally comes into action himself. In ''FNaF 1'', he is very intelligent and strategic, and also presumably the leader of the gang. If the power runs out, he always is the first to enter the office, even if he is the animatronic furthest from said office, meaning the other animatronics may be allowing him the privilege (as leader) of getting the night guard. However, even if Freddy's AI is set to level 20 on Custom Night, he won't move until Bonnie and Chica have left the Show Stage. |
||
− | However, this doesn't mean that Freddy is a heartless and depraved creature. Even if he never spares the night guards, he realized his faults in ''The Silver Eyes'' when he was about to kill Charlie, after listening to [[Golden Freddy]], and eventually decided to spare Charlie and instead dragged into the Spring suit the [[William Afton (Books)|real culpable]] (Altough this is in a different universe). |
||
+ | When on the move, Freddy lets out a very deep belly laugh that echoes throughout the building. Like the other animatronics, Freddy appears to be a sadist, toying with the night guard in order to break him mentally, and laughing at his misery, although he is still not completely evil for many reasons. That, and he plays his music before killing the guard if the place runs out of power, leaving the guard in complete and utter fear, not knowing when he will be killed. Freddy may be a mutilator as well because once the protagonist is killed, his eyes and teeth are shown through the openings of the suit, with the former's eyes popped through the suit's eye sockets and teeth showing within the mouth of the suit. In the second game, Freddy appears in the ''Game Over'' screen and the point of view is from inside the suit. |
||
− | Freddy was originally meant to be stationary and only move when the power was out. However, the creator ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Cawthon Scott Cawthon]) wanted to give the titular character more floor time and changed the AI programming to its current iteration of hunting the player on the fourth and fifth nights. |
||
+ | Despite being a violent and sadistic animatronic, Freddy attacks only because he wants to avenge himself and his friends by killing their murderer. However, he doesn't know how [[William Afton (Five Nights at Freddy's)|his killer]] looks like, all he knows is that he was a night guard (heavily implied by the ''SAVE THEM'' minigame), explaining why he's so hostile to them. He also seems to be protective of other children not wanting them to die like he did he even teamed up with the Puppet in the SAVETHEM mini game to rescue Afton’s victims although unfortunately he was too late. |
||
− | In ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'', a prequel, Freddy is less of a threat on earlier nights (although he becomes far more active and faster on nights 5 and 6), and even a bit of a doofus, not being able to tell a man in a mask from an animatronic. He is also much slower and more predictable (until nights 5 and 6, where he receives an upgrade). This ironically implies Freddy had become much more intelligent over time and ascended to official leadership status. This may be due to the fact he is possessed, or his A.I. had evolved. |
||
+ | ==Quotes== |
||
− | Also, in the same game, Freddy is one of the few animatronics who doesn't go through the air vents, the others being Toy Freddy, Golden Freddy, [[Foxy the Pirate|Foxy]] and the Puppet. |

||
− | Freddy's very first appearance was in the original ''Five Nights at Freddy's''. He serves as the main antagonist of the game, this being his most calculating and erratic incarnation. This appearance is notably cuddlier than some others, with features such as a rounder, softer look to his body, brighter eyes, and concealed endoskeleton teeth, making him more easy on the eyes in the consciousness of the children watching him. |

||
− | |||
− | In the first game, after up to six years of the restaurant is open, Fazbear Entertainment has gone near-bankrupt. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has become rotting and decrepit and relies on a generator with a limited energy span. In the first game, Freddy seemed to have had a music box built into him, for no apparent reason, which played the ''[[wikipedia:Toreador Song|Toreador March]]''. |
||
− | |||
− | In the earlier nights, Freddy is only directly encountered when the player runs out of power, where he stares at them from the doorway in the dark while a boardwalk version of the ''Toreador March'' plays in the background. After 30 seconds have passed, Freddy will attack and kill the protagonist. However, if the player moves at all during this period, Freddy may attack earlier. This falls in line with a piece of advice Phone Guy left, telling the protagonist to play dead if the animatronics approach. |
||
− | |||
− | An explanation for Freddy's lack of movement and activity on the first few nights is that he may be studying the player's strategies. However, from Night 3, Freddy will attack. Like Chica, he travels across the kitchen and lead to the East Hall, then sneak into the Office if the player isn't attentive enough to shut down the right door at the right time. |
||
− | |||
− | When Freddy does move he can be seen staring at the camera, menacingly, usually travelling through the kitchen which has a defective camera that only records audio. His song will play when he is in the kitchen, revealing his position in there. |
||
− | |||
− | Freddy does not seek out the player very often and will stay inactive until the fourth and fifth nights, though he may occasionally move on the third. Also, unlike the other animatronics, Freddy will never be seen by means of the door lights. Instead, he will sneak into the room and attack the player after a random amount of time. To prevent this, the player must close the door before he moves from the camera next to the room. |
||
− | |||
− | Freddy may have been the one who killed Phone Guy, as on the fourth night, the phone call of the predecessor's last words can be heard; ''"Oh, no..."'' as Toreador plays before the recording cuts off. However, a moan is heard, and Foxy was banging on the left door, so the moan likely came from Chica, making her another candidate for his death. Golden Freddy may also be the cause, as his screech plays briefly. |
||
− | |||
− | Freddy can also appear in hallucinations, with realistic, bloodshot eyes. It has been speculated that the player is seeing what will become of themselves if one of the animatronics catches them. |
||
− | |||
− | ===''Five Nights at Freddy's 2''=== |
||
− | [[File:Fnaf2.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Freddy in ''Five Nights At Freddy's 2''.]] |
||
− | Freddy returns in ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2''. He appears as an old animatronic from a past location owned by Fazbear Entertainment. While he is still the titular antagonist, Freddy is far laxer than the other old animatronics and sneaks into the office much more rarely than his brethren. |
||
− | |||
− | He was intended to be the restaurant's mascot, after the original mascot, Fredbear, was removed from the character lineup due to the death of a child that was shoved into his mouth. |
||
− | |||
− | He was retrofitted with a new suit, but however, he was subsequently replaced with new mascot [[Toy Freddy]], after the incident in which five children were brutally murdered at the location, as Freddy lacked the newly instated connection to criminal profiles to help protect the children. He was moved to the Parts/Services room, now serving the function of spare parts for the Toy Animatronics. Another reason for being replaced was that he wasn't considered aesthetically pleasing to a newer generation, the phone guy even going as far as to call him 'ugly', alongside the other four original animatronics. |
||
− | |||
− | On Night 3, however, the spirits of the children awaken within the withered animatronics, thanks to [[The Puppet]] (with the exception of the original Foxy the Pirate, who is particularly 'twitchy' and becomes active on Night 2.) This creates more of a threat for Jeremy, the night guard, as he is already dealing with the malfunctioning toy animatronics, who believe he is a predator. Freddy tends to be the last of the withered animatronics to leave, and, upon entering Jeremy's office, can be deflected by putting on a Freddy mask, making his programming unable to attack Jeremy, due to believing it is merely a Freddy suit. If not deflected, he will attack Jeremy and stuff him into a suit. Thankfully, in the game's canon, he does not. |
||
− | |||
− | Freddy is the playable character in the SAVE THEM minigame, following the Puppet to try and stop [[William Afton (Five Nights at Freddy's)|the killer]]. The minigame takes place in the new restaurant and shows a further five dead bodies, which implies that the Toy Animatronics may also be inhabited by the spirits of five more of Purple Guy's victims. |
||
− | |||
− | After each night, Jeremy will have visions in which he is within Freddy. The visions become increasingly disturbing, with Golden Freddy appearing on the fourth night. The visions end when the Puppet suddenly appears in the last vision, stating "It's me." |
||
− | |||
− | When the game ends, it is revealed Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been closed down in favor of a small budget location, and the toy animatronics has been scrapped, likely due to expenses, though it is implied that they may have a more sinister reason for being destroyed. Freddy is put back in action, being given a brand new suit, and serving as the new location's mascot for 6 years. |
||
− | |||
− | ===''Five Nights at Freddy's 3''=== |
||
− | In the actual game, Freddy appears only as a discarded suit with no limbs or ears hanging on a rack outside of the protagonist's office, unable to attack. However, he is one of the animatronics in the protagonist's mind to haunt them, appearing as [[Phantom Freddy]]. He can be seen limping across the window, and if the protagonist does not look at their camera upon seeing him, will be briefly attacked by a hallucination of him. Peculiarly, Freddy bears much resemblance to Golden Freddy in ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'', leading some to speculate he is actually Phantom Golden Freddy. |

− | Freddy is the playable character in Night 1's minigame, following [[Shadow Freddy]] to the back room, only to be attacked and destroyed by Purple Guy. On Night 5, he and the other animatronics, as the now-freed ghosts of the children within them, watch as one of them, who is speculated to either be the Puppet or Golden Freddy, confront Purple Guy, causing him to flee into a decaying Spring Bonnie suit. From speculation, rain leaking through the ceiling causes the suit to become wet, and the spring locks malfunction, killing Purple Guy and severely mutilating them. Freddy and the others then disappear. |

To prevent this, the player must close the right door when he is close. Alternatively, if the player keeps checking on him on the camera, he can be stalled and practically won't move unless the camera feed changes for too long. Freddy's second appearance is in his ''Parts and Service'' game mode. In this game mode, the player must remove apparel from Freddy's mouth and chest cavity. Once that is finished, the player must remove Freddy's internal music box. In a scripted event, the player drops Freddy's music box and Freddy becomes upset with his eyes glowing, in addition to the Virtual Reality narrator remarking that dropping Freddy's music box was a dire mistake. The player must then replace his music box with a repaired one with haste. Once that is accomplished, the player is finished and the game ends. |

Since the reveal of the final screen of the Lore-keeper ending in ''Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Simulator'', that the child (based on the position of Freddy's head in the Good Ending of FNaF 3) possessing is heavily hinted to be Gabriel further supports this.

==Trivia== |
==Trivia== |
||
+ | *Freddy has been based various sources: |
||
− | *Freddy is the one of the only five canonical animatronics to feature multiple jumpscare kills, the other four being [[Springtrap]], [[Nightmare Freddy]], [[Nightmare Bonnie]], and [[Nightmare Chica]]. |
||
+ | **He is most likely based on the [https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Chuck_E._Cheese?so=search Chuck E. Cheese] animatronic mascot from the arcade/restaurant of the same name. |
||
− | *Watchmojo placed Freddy Fazbear as number 8 in top 10 most feared video game characters. |
||
+ | ***He could have been based on a [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qUCMfGc45Y4 creepypasta] which tells about a Chuck E. Cheese employee who got nearly eaten by the mouse animatronic in his house. He managed to escape, and along with the police found at the backstage of the restaurant the bodies of four of the five teenagers who went missing prior to the story. However, the manager and Chuck E. Cheese were nowhere to be found. |
||
+ | *It could be possible that he could appear as the main/secondary antagonist of the upcoming film adaption of the first game by Blumhouse Productions. |
||
+ | *In the series, Freddy Fazbear has become less and less important as the new games are released. In the first game, he was the main antagonist, but with the present games, he is a supporting and/or posthumous one. Despite this, he remains as the overall mascot of the franchise. |
||
+ | **As of ''Security Breach'', this has technically changed however, as the Freddy of that game, Glamrock Freddy, is now one of the main protagonists. |
||
+ | *[https://youtu.be/JwC7QAFrJHs?t=81 Freddy's scream] in the original game originates from the 1981 horror film ''{{w|Inseminoid}}''. |
||
+ | *Freddy and [[The Puppet (Five Nights at Freddy's)|the Puppet]] are currently the only animatronics that are shown to have unquestionably good intentions, as both of them tried to save William's second set of victims in the SAVE THEM minigame, which shows they want to stop more murders from happening. |

NOTE: This article is only for the original videogame version of Freddy Fazbear. To see the article for the Universal Picture's version of the character, go to Freddy Fazbear (2023).

~ Freddy's famous tagline for the first game. |
“ | It looks like someone wasn't ready for Freddy to come to the party! | „ |

“ | When you wake up, just remember: Friends are forever. | „ |

Freddy Fazbear is a major antagonist and the titular mascot of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
He is an animatronic bear and the mascot of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Seemingly a nice and innocent animatronic entertainer for children, he is actually possessed by the soul of a child named Gabriel and actively tries to kill the security guards of at least two Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations, which he mistakes for his murderer.
In Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, he is voiced by Tim Simmons, who also voiced Nightmare Freddy.
Appearance
Five Nights at Freddy's
Freddy appears as a tall, large anthropomorphic, quite muscular and stereotypical robotic teddy-bear with a black hat. He has two glowing blue eyes overcame by dark thin eyebrows and a black bow tie under his chin. He has hands with four fingers and feet with three toes.
Also, he holds a microphone in his hands which allows him to performs songs in order to distract and amuse children. However, he does not carry it while attacking the night guard.
In the easter egg of Freddy's distorted poster, showing him tearing off his own head, one of his hands is in the same positions as the hand prints on his chin.
Freddy does not look too robotic as the only mechanical parts that are exposed are his wristbands in each arm which connect his hands to the rest of the body. However, no other straps nor lacerations can be spotted on his well-conserved body, and his endoskeleton is totally hidden by the amount of fake orange fur, which could mean that the animatronic, in spite of his decaying imprisonment, remained in a perfected state (as opposite to Foxy). However, as a result of his abandonment, the fur is much more unclean, as some dust can be spotted in various places. Also, the player can encounter an eyeless still image of Freddy after their death in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, albeit this event occurs rarely.
Freddy appears with human-like blue eyes in the hallucinations.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
In the second game, which is a prequel that takes place before the first, it is revealed that Freddy used to be more damaged and was not in his perfected, flawless state from before, much like Foxy. However, from the four withered animatronics, he still appears as the least damaged.
Notable changes are his somewhat cruder and much more dirty body, large tears on his arms and legs, visible wires connecting the robot's joints and a differently-shaped boxy head with all of his square-shaped teeth clearly visible. He also seems to be crooked.
Unlike Withered Foxy who has a moldy endoskeleton and Withered Bonnie who has a scratched endoskeleton, Withered Freddy and Withered Chica's are almost brand-new other than bloodstains on Chica's jaws. This implies that these two were the most recently retired, probably after Chica bit someone's head.
Following the closure of the "New and Improved Freddy Fazbear's" at the end of the second game and the scrapping of the toy animatronics, Freddy and his fellow withered animatronics were refurbished and rebuilt, gaining the physical appearances they had in the first game.
Shamrock Freddy
Shamrock Freddy is a recolor of Freddy Fazbear but with a few differences. He has clove green in complexion, lime green in irises, white scleras, has a dark green leprechaun-themed hat, a golden beaded necklace and a dark green bowtie. He was released to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, explaining his look.
Firework Freddy
Firework Freddy has the same look as Freddy Fazbear because of being a skin, but now wears a torn outfit. He wears a light blue-colored tank top with star patterns on it and a grey shorts, as well as a red bowtie and a top hat with red and white stripes and stars. A notable appearance on Freddy is that he holds a large firecracker that is ignited, and he also has a sunglasses on him.
Personality
As the mascot of the restaurant, the day Freddy appears as a nice, joyful, and lovely mascot who takes care 's child and always trying to cheer them up, as expected from an animatronic. However, once he is alone in the dark, he turns into a cunning, dangerous and malevolent robot, willing at all cost to catch and stuff the security guard into an endoskeleton suit. The reason for this behavior is that the animatronic is, in fact, possessed by the vengeful spirit of a child named Gabriel who was murdered at Freddy’s.
Freddy is the original leading antagonist of the first game, and acts as such, sitting at the side and allowing the other animatronics to do all the work in the earlier nights, and when they fail, he finally comes into action himself. In FNaF 1, he is very intelligent and strategic, and also presumably the leader of the gang. If the power runs out, he always is the first to enter the office, even if he is the animatronic furthest from said office, meaning the other animatronics may be allowing him the privilege (as leader) of getting the night guard. However, even if Freddy's AI is set to level 20 on Custom Night, he won't move until Bonnie and Chica have left the Show Stage.
When on the move, Freddy lets out a very deep belly laugh that echoes throughout the building. Like the other animatronics, Freddy appears to be a sadist, toying with the night guard in order to break him mentally, and laughing at his misery, although he is still not completely evil for many reasons. That, and he plays his music before killing the guard if the place runs out of power, leaving the guard in complete and utter fear, not knowing when he will be killed. Freddy may be a mutilator as well because once the protagonist is killed, his eyes and teeth are shown through the openings of the suit, with the former's eyes popped through the suit's eye sockets and teeth showing within the mouth of the suit. In the second game, Freddy appears in the Game Over screen and the point of view is from inside the suit.
Despite being a violent and sadistic animatronic, Freddy attacks only because he wants to avenge himself and his friends by killing their murderer. However, he doesn't know how his killer looks like, all he knows is that he was a night guard (heavily implied by the SAVE THEM minigame), explaining why he's so hostile to them. He also seems to be protective of other children not wanting them to die like he did he even teamed up with the Puppet in the SAVETHEM mini game to rescue Afton’s victims although unfortunately he was too late.

~ The Phone Guy about Freddy. |
“ | Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room. Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick should work on them too, so, whatever. | „ |

Speculations about Freddy's true identity
Since the reveal of the final image of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Simulator, it has been heavily speculated, but not confirmed, that the name of the child possessing Freddy Fazbear is Gabriel. Since the reveal of the final screen of the Lore-keeper ending in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Simulator, that the child (based on the position of Freddy's head in the Good Ending of FNaF 3) possessing is heavily hinted to be Gabriel further supports this. In the Fourth Closet novel, the child that possessed Freddy was an unnamed boy.
In Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted during the end of the Pizza Party level, Glitchtrap lures the player to the backstage with a cake. After that, the player becomes Freddy and watches Glitchtrap as he dances to the song. It theorized that this was the moment the child was killed and stuffed inside Freddy. Since the cake has seven candles it, is theorized that the child was seven years old.
Trivia
