William Afton, due to supernatural circumstances and his own willpower, is able to cheat death, and will always return in his new resurrected forms, no matter how many times he perishes. His true appearance is heavily implied to be the same as his novel counterpart, which could mean his facial features include having lifeless grey eyes, pale saggy skin, a poorly shaven face, dark brown messy hair, and the appearance of a middle aged man. The most detail William has shown is during the SAVETHEM death minigame, in which he is revealed to be a tall skinny man with a long neck and has a yellow object on his chest which resembles a security badge, and holds a purple object, which is speculated to be a weapon or tool, or possibly just his hands extending in a beckoning pose. It isn't until Five Nights at Freddy's 3 that he retained a semi-consistent appearance, underutilized as it may be, though he has expressive eyes and a mouth that conveys his emotional state. William is seen as having a cleft chin outside of the minigames. His mouth appears to almost always be put in the form of an elongated sadistic smile. His sprite is usually very stylized with color ranges from various tones of purple depending on the minigame, which seems to be a stylization choice to showcase him hiding in the shadows. The physical description of William's original self is largely unknown, since he is only ever seen in human form in some of the minigames.
