In this AU, William was an engineer who worked for the company that owned Fazbear Entertainment, let's call it "The Owner Company".

Despite how intelligent and capable he was, he was also a conflictive, unstable and a difficult person to deal with due to a turbulent childhood, parental neglect and undiagnosed antisocial personality disorder. However, beyond being an undesirable person, a horrible boss and a negligent father (especially with his eldest son, whom he despised), it was not until the death of his youngest son (the only one he actually loved) that he began his criminal life and decided to show his most violent/sadistic side.

It is important to note that in this version of the story William did not directly hurt any children, nor did he intend to (...perhaps Michael), instead he went directly for the adults that (he felt) made his life miserable, anyone that stood in his way or was a nuisance to him.

It was the people behind "the owner company" the responsible for the disappearances of children in vulnerable situations (here I took inspiration from Poppy Playtime. The motivations are similar too, seeking immortality in some twisted way. I don't know, don't look for too much logic in it, neither the FNAF nor Poppy Playtime stories make much sense either. Let's just say they've developed something similar to the remnant or the substance from Poppy Playtime). Afton was an important piece in this plan as the engineer that created the animatronics and other machines for the company, but he was never really fully aware of the company's true intentions (he doesn't care either. He's still a horrible person and a villain in my AU).

In the end William was neutralized by the owner company, making him the last of their experiments, "Springs". Springs is neither a corpse nor a possessed robot, he's a living creature, a fusion between a human body and a machine, metal and fake fur on the outside and organic on the inside. Unlike other experiments, he has a more "feral" behavior, although he retains much of his memories and personality. He is almost always in a state of alert and with high levels of adrenaline.
