You'll be starring as... The security guard! So not only will you be monitoring the people on the cameras as they pass through... but you'll also be a part of the show.
Phone Dude explaining the protagonist's job, Five Nights at Freddy's 3

The unnamed security guard is the main protagonist and former security guard of Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 who must complete their shift from midnight to 6 AM across six nights.

Physical Appearance[]

Since the game is viewed in first person view for the entirety of the game, their physical appearance is never seen. They appear to have a masculine voice, judging by the panicked breathing sounds they make when the ventilation system fails or when a phantom animatronic jumpscares them. Phone Dude also uses masculine slang words such as "dude" and "man" during his messages.

What could possibly go wrong?

Based on the constant visions the guard sees of the phantom animatronics, it is possible that they may frequently be panicked and/or paranoid to the point of having hallucinations. Additionally, their deep, panicked breaths heard after being jumpscared by the phantoms indicate that they also show fear and anxiety during their shift, similar to Jeremy Fitzgerald and Fritz Smith from Five Nights at Freddy's 2.

Despite this, the guard appears to be relatively focused and courageous, as they are able to recover from the phantoms' jumpscares relatively quickly and are able to fend off Springtrap throughout the night.

Speculation[]

WitheredChica-Icon "I was the first! I have seen everything!"

This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied.

  • Many theories suggest that the guard's identity is Michael Afton. During the final cutscene of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, Michael says he will find his father, William Afton. Since William (now known as Springtrap) is at Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction, this could mean that Michael only worked at the location in order to find his father. However, the final Sister Location ending reveals that the attraction was already burned down after the third game's events, and therefore it was impossible for Michael Afton to be the third game's protagonist.
  • Another theory suggests that the guard's real identity is Hudson from the third story of Fazbear Frights 8: Gumdrop Angel, What We Found, as many things parallel.
  • It is theorized that Henry Emily is the main protagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's 3. Both of their work locations have burned down, raising the idea that the destruction of Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction is also plotted and carried out by Henry, the same person who set fire to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. In the Good Ending of Five Nights at Freddy's 3 and the Completion Ending of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, they are both involved in freeing the souls of William Afton's victims. This might imply that the Security Guard is well-versed in Freddy Fazbear-related events, especially the souls of the murdered children being imprisoned in the animatronic suits and their murderer, William, inhabiting Springtrap, making him more similar to Henry Media:Tape03.ogg and explaining why he took the job – to exact revenge. (He attempted to destroy Springtrap by committing arson, but failed.) So, possibly influenced by what happened at Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction, and determined to succeed this time, Henry devises a new plan in the guise of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, which is noted to feature the same but modified tools such as audio lure and ventilation system.

Trivia[]

  • The security guard's name is never revealed, as unlike the first two games, no paycheck is ever shown.
    • This might be done to leave the date and minimum wage ambiguous, as it takes place 30 years after the closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
    • Additionally, this makes them the only security guard protagonist whose name is unknown.
