— Alison Bäirren (aka, The Storyteller); Prologue of The Return to Freddy's 5

Scrapped
This article contains characters and/or events that are from scrapped games or were cut in development from finished games.

Alison Bäirren is the main antagonist of The Return to Freddy's 5, as well as the true main antagonist of the entire The Return to Freddy's series. He is the sadistic, cruel and corrupted founder of Fazbear INC. and the creator of the Torture Device, a false idol worshipped by the workers. As revealed on several media, Alison is actually located within the walls of the factory, always watching, speaking and knowing, this making him the Storyteller of the game.

Appearance

As the Storyteller, Alison appears to look like a small-sized adult, with fair white skin along with black colored eyes and grey hair, as well as a small beard. He also appears to be wearing a white fedora with a red stripe and a red shirt along with some dark blue jeans and grey shoes.

As the Blue Guy, Alison appears to resemble a blue figure with black colored eyes and a faux hawk haircut. He also appears to be wearing a golden badge on his chest, much like Vincent. He is usually seen smiling evilly.

Behavior

In-Game

Alison would have antagonized the player during the game, locking them, and making them believe that they can't beat the game and consequently lose faith in themselves.

Minigames

In the "Happy Fun Times..." Minigame, Alison as the Storyteller can be seen presumably flirting with Leala, making BFP cry as he watches them from behind.

In the "Truth...?" Minigame, Alison as the Storyteller can be seen suspiciously peeking at Tortured Lockjaw and three dead children from over a gray cloud.

In the "December 23th" Minigame, Alison as the Blue Guy can briefly be seen inside his blue car, crashing it into Gron's, injuring his whole family.

In the "Dark Secrets..." Minigame, the ghost form of BFP witnesses Alison torturing three employees, making them construct more and more Tortured Suits.

Endings

In the "Die Alone", Alison appears in a black space with BFP, Leala and the victims from the Missing Children Incident. As time passes, the masks of the ghost children start to fall and disappear, signifying the release of their souls. Finally, BFP's soul fades away and his fedora drops to the ground. However, Alison still remains alive, meaning that "The Prophecy" hasn't ended yet.

In the third Bad Ending, Alison can be seen on Floor 9 threatening at three employees who were caught breaking one of Fazbear INC.'s rules. After his diologue ends, Alison will start to beat up the employees with his own fists. In order to protect themselves and fight back at their boss, the employees will enter the three torture suits, thinking that this idea was worth enough trying. This however fails, the employees will scream at their boss for help. Alison then laughs at their foolishness as he activates the deploy button, killing the three employees.

Trivia

  • Alison is often mistaken with Toony, a FNAF fan-game animatronic by Toonster.
  • Alison's storyteller appearance was originally named after TOGFilms, a former friend of Tyler Ahlström, according to the game files for the Pre-Releases of TRTF5.
  • It is believed that he was going to serve as TRTF2's Phone Guy in the Major Updates, due to the phone call he gave to Cawnoth Cotts in the TRTF: The Dreadful Truth book.
  • His full name wasn't revealed until one of The Road that Falls teaser/concept art of Alison was shown revealing this full name, where his second name is "Bäirren". It is unknown if this name is canon to the classic TRTF series if at all.
    • For the sake of simplicity, the wiki will be treating it as rightfully so, unless proven wrong officialy.
  • Quite humourously, he is in some ways more similar to the canonical William Afton than the TRTF version of Purple Guy, thanks to being the sadistic founder of the Fazbear corporation, as William was co-founder of Fazbear Entertainment in canon, and being the one behind the horrors of the series.

Trivia

Alison was again going to return to _RADSLA_ as the main antagonist, as an anonymous hacker named "fbinc".

Behavior

He was going to hack the animatronics and trigger a toxic breach in the vents of Gilbert Facility to kill Loyd and Alei, who was revived as a psychopatic humanoid known as DO NOT ACCESS, and shut down this location.

Alison is the main antagonist of The Return to Freddy's: The Dreadful Truth, appearing in most of the chapters.

Biography

If only one word was required to describe Alison, that word would be monster. Consumed by greed, he is not afraid of getting his hands dirty when the end result is something he wants. He created the Torture Suits as a means of demonstrating his authority to his disobedient employees, watching as it slowly drained the life out of them; particularly in one incident involving three employees sneaking up to Floor 9. Angered by his employees disobedience towards his rules, he began to beat them with a rusty pipe. Eventually the employees climbed into the three nearby Torture suits (Tortured Buster, The Unknown/The Beast, and Tortured Saber), which made up a group Alison liked to call The Slaughter Crew. After they climbed in and tried to attack him, they realized they could not move. Alison then watched in sickening pleasure as the Torture suits slaughtered the three employees. He's also the creator of the enigmatic Torture Device, a monstrous Torture suit that serves as a false god he forces his enslaved employees to worship and continue building.

Alison's personality tends to shift from being a corrupt businessman to being a bloodthirsty murderer whenever the name of one of his former employees, Gron, is brought up. After Gron and Vincent sabotaged The Machine, he made Gron suffer severe agony by killing Gron's wife Lynda in front of his very eyes. Eventually, he locates Jackson and murders him, in an attempt to erase Gron's family and legacy forever. However, Jackson had a son named Carson, who later became an investigator and was on his way to kill Alison in FRANKBURT'S, due to Carson's presumed hatred for Alison for killing his father and so many other innocent people.

Thank you!
"Non-Canon"
This article is not canon to the main TRTF timeline. Proceed at your own risk.

Although never seen in-game, he is shown sitting in a chair, facing a bunch of monitors at both the beginning and the end of the game. His body parts are also seen within the extras, likely meant to be the aftermath of the game's bad ending.

Endings

Good Ending

If the player chooses to not kill Alison, by doing nothing and wait, this will lead to an alternative ending where you can see a person (most likely Alison) approaching some kind of portal into another dimension or maybe a time machine.

Bad Ending

If the player plays the game normally, without collecting the tapes and the tape recorders, when completing the game it will trigger a cutscene event, making you "finish" Alison. When the players does it, his head and limbs gets dismembered making him bleed out all over while tumbling from his chair, finally ending his life once and for all.
