Biography[]
In April 2000, Jeff was hired by Aunt Jane to make her nephew Mike Schmidt appear unfit to care for his sister Abby Schmidt so Jane would gain custody of Abby and have monthly check from the government for herself. Max became Abby's babysitter while Jeff kept an eye on Mike who got a job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.
After Mike's first night, Max and Jeff met up with Jane and her lawyer Doug at Sparky's, a coffee shop. Jane asked Max if she was going to tell her that she was a failure but Jeff told Jane to shut up and he claimed that Max checked the pizzeria many times and that if there was something she would have found it and told Jane to pay the $200 of the deal they made but Jane pointed out that Max only discovered that Abby was a sweetness and that Mike slept a lot (which was not a crime), Doug started to look scared and Jeff asked what he had, Doug said that he shouldn't hear that and that he shouldn't even be there so he decided to get up to leave, but Jane sat him down, Jane believed the deal was over unless Max and Jeff had a good idea which she didn't think they had, Jeff suggested just killing Mike, Doug got scared and tried to leave again, but Jane sat him down, Jane thought it was tempting, but eventually declined it. Max remembered that Mike said that he needs his job so that a judge considers him appropriate to take care of Abby, then Jeff proposed destroying the pizzeria, as a security guard Mike had to make sure that no one entered, the Vandals could come in, destroy the place and take whatever they wanted as a bonus, Mike would lose his job, the judge would make Jane have custody of Abby and Jane would give the Vandals $2000, Jane agreed to give them $1000, but she told them to be quick and not ruin the deal.
After Mike's second night, Jeff was watching him from afar and called Max, Jeff said that when Mike got home that Max should pick up Hank and Carl and Jeff found a service entrance to enter, Max, Jeff, Hank and Carl managed to enter and began their plan, Jeff, Hank and Carl entered the pizzeria while Max waited for them outside to escape, Jeff told Hank and Carl to destroy everything they could as quickly as possible and to take any valuable objects they found and then distribute them, they started and did a simple and quick crime. However, unbeknownst to them, their vandalism awakened the animatronics, who sought to end their rampage by slaughtering them one by one.
Jeff came to the security room and tried to smash the monitors, only to be eventually stopped by doing so as he saw Hank running away and screaming and he wondered what he was doing and Hank hid in a closet. Max was outside waiting for his companions and checking how long they were taking. Hank was attempting to catch his breath and then Jeff called out his name, Hank tried to open the door, but it cannot open from the outside, then he tried to turn on the light (unaware that Bonnie was behind him), Jeff walked towards the closet to look for Hank and the latter finally managed to turn on the light, then he realized that Bonnie the Bunny was with him, catching Hank off-guard, Hank started screaming in terror and Bonnie started brutally beating him to death while Jeff listened to what was happening.
Jeff saw the door open, Bonnie came out of the closet and revealed himself to Jeff. Shaken by realizing that Bonnie killed Hank, Jeff dropped his crowbar and sprinted back to the security office to hide. He tried to ask for help on the phone, but only loud children's laughter could be heard and he hung up, then he checked the monitors and saw Bonnie, Chica and Mr. Cupcake next to a vent, who knew that Jeff was in the security office and they sent Mr. Cupcake through the ducts to attack Jeff, Jeff frantically threw himself against the vent to prevent Mr. Cupcake from entering and killing him while the latter punches and bites the grate before finally retreating and Jeff thought it was clear. Suddenly, the exit of the security office opens by itself, and Jeff left the office to see if it is animatronic-free. Unfortunately, this has proven to be a mistake as the door closed behind him and locked itself, leaving Jeff vulnerable. Jeff tried to open it, but then, Foxy is heard scatting a song and Jeff attempts to flee the facility by escaping through an exit, but was unsuccessful because it was closed, much to his misfortune. Shortly after, Jeff encountered Foxy the Pirate (whose arrival caused the lights to flicker). After a short blackout, Foxy immediately sprinted down the corridor and charged at Jeff, who screamed in terror as Foxy slashed him in the face with his hook, killing him.
During Mike's fifth night, the animatronics attacked him in his dream and when he woke up, he realized that he was in Parts & Service and that they had tied to the Torture Freddy Device to kill him. However, he managed to escape by removing a loose screw and sliding down the chair, and having escaped, Mike crawled to a pile of animatronic parts and discovered the mangled corpses of the vandals and realized that the Animatronics had killed them.
When Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place collapsed, the interior was completely destroyed, burying the dead vandals permanently.
