Golden Freddy, aka Fredbear, is one of the main protagonists and a former antagonist of Zajcu37’s FNAF series.
History[]
Fredbear was part of the First Generation of Animatronics developed by Fazbear Entertainment, he was created alongside his brother Springbonnie in the same factory of the same parts, thus creating a brotherly bond between the two. Initially he was a soulless robot that performed at Fredbear’s family diner alongside his brother and Marionette. One night, a vengeful Technician used and reprogrammed Fredbear to attack and kill the Nightguard, but he turned on the Technician and killed him instead. The incident was covered up from the rest of the world, but the Technician’s soul survived and he became the creature called Nightmare, when Nightmare attempted to use his new powers to give himself a physical body, he instead destroyed his spectral form and split his soul into four parts. One of the four souls possessed Fredbear and gave him the powers of Teleportation and Telekinesis among others.
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza I[]
after being given life, Fredbear and Springbonnie continued to perform until the closure of the restaurant, all three of the Animatronics were moved to the newly opened Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, with Fredbear and Springbonnie were stored away in the Parts & Service. upon seeing that the Marionette had given their replacements life and that he was still performing, Fredbear and Springbonnie swore revenge, and he renamed himself “Golden Freddy”.
Sometime afterwards, Golden Freddy witnessed his brother Springbonnie being dismantled, and he fully gave into his anger, killing the employee that was working on him.
Freddy’s Fazbear Pizza II[]
eventually, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza I was closed down and all the animatronics were moved to the brand new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza II, using his powers, Golden Freddy revived Springbonnie as a ghost and the two continue to plot their revenge. Enraged that the Animatronics still hadn’t been replaced yet, he sabotaged them to ensure their replacement, convinced that the company would repair him and his brother and return them to the stage, only to see that instead, they built the Toy Animatronics instead. After some time, he approached the Marionette and asked his former friend to form an alliance to depose of the new Toys and restore the original Animatronics to the stage, but after hearing his refusal and learning that he in fact was the one who gave them life, he angrily went to the original Animatronics and revived them with his powers, while also placing partial Mind control over them. Golden Freddy lied and claimed that the Marionette had willingly allowed them to be replaced, and therefore sent them to attack the new Toys, but was not present for the fight itself. Once his new servants returned and reported their failure, Golden Freddy punished Freddy by tearing out his eye, and teleported away.
Golden Freddy became aware of a romantic relationship that was developing between Foxy and his replacement Mangle, and immediately ordered Chica to destroy his new love interest to ensure he remained loyal, but his initial plan was foiled and the lovers escaped. Golden Freddy decided to handle matters personally and ambushed Foxy as he was returning to the Parts & Service room, breaking his jaw, and framing Bonnie for the incident, although Mangle initially attacked him out of anger, Foxy reactivated and told them that it was Golden Freddy who attacked him, not Bonnie.
Golden Freddy would later become aware of Bonnie’s reluctance to continue working for him, and after having a private meeting with Springbonnie, he decided to take full control over his mind, and ordered him to attack Toy Chica, despite this though, Bonnie resisted and sucker punched him to the ground, temporarily stunning him, after reawakening and besting Bonnie in combat, he was in utter shock at Bonnie’s ability to resist his control, he was ultimately forced to retreat when Toy Chica returned and caught him off guard, swearing that it wasn’t over yet, and teleporting away. Golden Freddy returned to Springbonnie and informed him that somehow Bonnie resisted his control, Golden Freddy returned to finished the job with Toy Chica, but was once again caught off guard when Bonnie took the blow meant for her, and the timely arrival of the Marionette forced him to retreat once again.
Golden Freddy later placed full control over Chica and set her loose to cause chaos, though she was freed from his control by the Marionette.
After learning that Freddy had joined the Toy Animatronics, Golden Freddy told Springbonnie it was time for the final plan.
Golden Freddy and Springbonnie stole a naked Endoskeleton from the Marionette’s music box while he was preoccupied with killing the Nightguard. Later, Golden Freddy tricked Springbonnie into placing his hand on the Endoskeleton, claiming he was sorry that he was forced to do this, trapping his angry and vengeful brother in his dismantled Costume once again, Golden Freddy then absorbed his brother’s power of great strength and control, and attacked the Marionette, easily overpowering him and stealing his power as well. He then turned his sights on the Original Animatronics, and attempted to destroy them, but instead hit the Toy Animatronics instead, who willingly took the blow for them, upon seeing what he’d done, Golden Freddy felt instant regret and horror over his actions, but was deactivated by the 6 AM bell like the rest of the animatronics.
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza III[]
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza II was closed down forever and instead used as a storage facility to store possible replacements for the Toy Animatronics, however the original Animatronics, Golden Freddy, and the dead remains of the Toy Animatronics were all moved to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza III, where the Original Animatronics and Golden Freddy were repaired with new parts. Immediately upon awakening in his new body, Golden Freddy teleported to the basement of the location, and was shocked to discover that Springbonnie’s costume had been moved there as well, he teleported back upstairs and explained that he didn’t expect forgiveness from the other Animatronics, and told them he was going to leave, but instead they simply wanted to know his motivation, he explained why he became evil and gained understanding from the others, who ultimately forgave him. After that, he showed Freddy the bodies of their friends, and revived the Marionette to help restore them to life. After the Toys were resurrected, Golden Freddy was largely forgiven for his actions, and accepted into the group.
for most of the time, Golden Freddy would spend his time in the kitchen, seeming to only appear sparsely to scare the Nightguard or if some issue with the Animatronics arose that was becoming too complicated. He was present for Bonnie’s “Birthday”, later he informed the Animatronics that they were overworking Freddy and ordered them to pitch in and tidy up the place, although it was cut short when he sensed Springbonnie had returned, due to having the corpse of a Nightguard stuffed inside his costume by Foxy.
As the days passed, Golden Freddy became increasingly paranoid and erratic due to his brother’s return and obvious desire for revenge, eventually he was forced to reveal his brother’s survival to the other Animatronics, and soon reluctantly decided to kill his brother to protect his new family. Once he confronted Springbonnie, it hurt him more to hear that he said this his brother was dead and now he was Springtrap. Golden Freddy attempted to kill his brother, but failed when Springtrap somehow gained a massive power surge, and defeated and tied up his former friend, stealing both his and Golden Freddy’s powers. When he awoke, Springtrap revealed all of his friends he captured, and then he left to capture to rest of them, but Golden Freddy was freed from his bonds by a Mysterious entity, he stole back the Endoskeleton which he used to take Springbonnie’s powers in 1987. He confronts Springtrap, and after retaking his power, he fights his former brother, but is unable to take his life, leading to his apparent death, unknown to Springtrap, his soul was preserved inside the subconsciousness of Bonnie.
Fazbear’s Fright[]
after the closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza III due to the damaged animatronics, all of the characters were moved to Fazbear’s Fright for an unknown purpose, Golden Freddy would remain deactivated for nearly the entire time until the end in which he was restored to life by his friends. Realizing he was going to have to fight Springtrap for the last time, he used his powers to teleport his friends back to the Pizzeria, while he went to engage Springtrap
Once he found his brother, he engaged him in battle, much to his own despair. Managing to deal many strong blows, until the fight was paused when Springtrap began to beg him for help, much to his surprise, but his need for answers was cut short by a gas tank rupture, which knocked the two unconscious.
when Golden Freddy awoke, he was shocked to see Springtrap had saved him, and brought him back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza I as that was where the other Animatronics were located. Springtrap revealed that he was never truly evil, and was being controlled by a device implanted in his mind, when Golden Freddy tried to learn more, Springtrap dropped the conversation and the two revealed themselves to the other Animatronics, who were joyful to learn of his survival. While they were skeptical of Springtrap’s presence, Golden Freddy reassured them that he wasn’t truly evil. To make up for his actions, Springtrap attempted to use all of his powers to restore the Phantoms, but didn’t have enough energy, it was only through both Golden Freddy and Springtrap sacrificing their powers, that they were able to restore all of the Animatronics, and it seemed as though things were becoming more peaceful.
Nightmare’s Arrival[]
Golden Freddy was present amongst the most important Animatronics when they asked Toy Chica about why she didn’t kill the new Nightguard, when she explained why, Golden Freddy decided to discuss the matter with the others privately.
Golden Freddy was present when Nightmare revealed himself and finally gained a physical body, and shared much of everyone else’s shock when Mangle revealed herself as a traitor who was working for Nightmare, by utilizing a Teleported that he created when he was Evil, Golden Freddy enabled the escape of Toy Chica, Springtrap, the Marionette, Toy Freddy, Bonnie, and himself, although he was unable to save Bonnie from being impaled by Nightmare’s sword.
the Animatronics returned to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza II, which was now being used as a storage facility, aware that Bonnie was dying, he was present on his deathbed, and afterwards, discussed with the Marionette about the origins of the Teleporter, which helped to inspire Golden Freddy create an idea to save everyone.
The idea in turn was to retrofit the Teleporter and turn it into a Time Travel device, with Nightmare prepared to breach the Pizzeria, Golden Freddy informed Toy Chica on how to use the device, and prepared to fend off against Nightmare as the last line of defense. Unfortunately for him, Nightmare easily dispatched of him, stabbing him with his sword, but he was unable to capture Toy Chica, who used the device to escape into the Timestream, with only Plushtrap being able to pursue her. Angered at this defeat, Nightmare tore off Golden Freddy’s head, effectively killing him.
Post-mortum[]
while the original Golden Freddy was dead, Toy Chica learned that he had downloaded the consciousnesses of himself, Springtrap, and the Marionette, after traveling back in time to 1987 with a Springtrap from 100 years into the future, who called himself “Scraptrap”, they were able to subdue the evil Golden Freddy of the past, and replaced his consciousness with the consciousness of the future Golden Freddy. Effectively reviving him, after a brief discussion with Toy Chica on what his plan to beat Nightmare was, he showed her the secret storage room in the Parts & Service, and had her get repairs, offering words of comfort and encouragement when Toy Chica seemed to be suffering from PTSD due to the death of their friends, he then left to check and see if anyone had noticed a disturbance.
After these words of encourgement, he reunited with Scraptrap when the two were forced to deal with the past version of the Marionette, Foxy, and Toy Freddy. After a horrible impersonation of his past evil self, he was able to subdue them with the Mind-wipe device he had also given Toy Chica on her journey, once he and Scraptrap placed their unconscious bodies back in their proper place, the two brothers had a proper reunion, with Golden Freddy feeling saddened that his brother was left alone for 100 years, afterwards. He instructed Toy Chica and Scraptrap to find a new body for his consciousness to inhabit in the future, and to find a special sword that could kill Nightmare, although it would come at the cost of sacrificing three of their friend's souls, after this information dump, he had Toy Chica remove his consciousness from his past body.
2120[]
Currently his consciousness is in the backup device, and supposed to be revived once Toy Chica and Scraptrap recover his body from the animatronics factory in 2120.
