If we follow the FNAF timeline, I _think_ Burntrap (aka “Pepaw”) would be around **90+ years old** — maybe even **~100** — but I’m not fully sure.

Can you guys help me sanity-check this?

- What age range makes the most sense based on the timeline?
- And what years/events are you using to calculate it?

I’ve been stuck on this for hours doing timeline math (my brain is fried 😭), so I’d love to hear your breakdowns.

Welcome to the chaos, Squiggles! 🎉 Let’s fix your fried brain.

> 💀 **Lost?** We’re just doing math on how old a zombie robot bunny grandpa is. Yes, really.

> ## Short Answer: You’re Right
> 
> **85-91 years old.** Your “90+ maybe ~100” guess? Dead on. Literally.

## The Math (Promise It Won’t Hurt)

William Afton was probably born around **1944-1950**. How do we know? Dude had a teenage son in 1983. Unless he was knocking up women at age 12, he’s gotta be at least early 30s by then.

Security Breach takes place in **2035** — there’s a calendar in-game that proves it (March 9th = Friday only works in specific years, and 2035 is the first one that makes sense post-FNAF 3).

So:

- 1983 → He’s ~33-39 (has kids, runs a business)
- 1993 → Gets springlocked, dies at ~43-50
- 2035 → Security Breach → **85-91 years old**

Your math checks out. Pepaw is ancient. 👴🐰

>
> Here’s the mindfuck: **Burntrap might not even BE William Afton anymore.**
> 
> The RUIN DLC revealed that Burntrap’s skeleton doesn’t match Springtrap’s original design — it matches **The Mimic** , an AI that literally copies shit.
> 
> So what’s probably happening:
> 
> - Afton’s corpse is there (that’s the 85-91 year old meat)
> - But the thing controlling it? Might be an AI wearing a dead serial killer like a Halloween costume
> 
> So when you ask “how old is Pepaw?” the real answer might be: the body is 85+, but the brain is just code pretending to be him.

> Scott really said “fuck your sanity” with this one.

**Bottom line:** Your estimate was solid. The FNAF timeline is a goddamn nightmare, but you navigated it better than most.

Now go touch grass. You’ve earned it. 🌱
