Here’s everything in our FNAF Gregory guide:
Who is FNAF’s Gregory?
FNAF’s Gregory is a child known for his intelligence and talent with electronics. Along with Vanessa, he is the first fully-modeled human character to appear in the franchise.
In FNAF: Security Breach, Gregory spends a lot of time hiding inside Glamrock Freddy, as, after being hacked on stage, Freddy reboots into safe mode. Gregory is also on the run from FNAF’s Vanny (who some theorize to actually be FNAF Vanessa), a creepy, anthropomorphic rabbit.
It’s not clear if Gregory is actually homeless or what happened to his parents, though one of the endings of FNAF: Security Breach shows Gregory on the street, but it is unclear which – if any – of the six endings are canon. Even if he is homeless and living on the streets, his clothes seem too tidy, and his intelligence hints towards a good education. Gregory may come from an affluent home, and could be on the run. While we know Vanny is hunting Gregory, we don’t know if Vanny is responsible for anything that may have happened to Gregory’s parents.
Gregory also appears in GGY, one of the stories featured in the Tales from the Pizzaplex series. In the story, Gregory, otherwise known as Greg or by his pen name Dr Rabbit, is one of the protagonist’s (Tony’s) friends. It’s later revealed that Gregory has been tampering with the systems of Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex, using his skills to obtain a hacked Play Pass that can bypass security clearances and give him control over the animatronics.
FNAF Gregory appearance
Gregory is a young boy with messy brown hair. He’s short, pale, and slim, with large, brown eyes and a bandaid on his right cheek and left knee.
Gregory wears a blue shirt with a lighter blue collar and two horizontal white stripes across the chest, along with a pair of light tan shorts. On his feet he wears white socks with two blue stripes around the ankles, and a pair of white sneakers with red and blue accents, including a blue lightning bolt and Freddy logo.
What is FNAF Gregory’s personality?
Though he is scared of being pursued by Vanny, FNAF Gregory is a confident and intelligent kid. He clearly isn’t scared of all animatronics, as the game hints that he is responsible for helping to fix Freddy after he was hacked at the beginning of FNAF: Security Breach, perhaps even using his intelligence to boot Freddy into safe mode.
Gregory appears fearless and inquisitive, choosing to help Freddy confront the other animatronics roaming the Mega Pizzaplex. While he’s clearly scared of Vanny and her robots, Gregory relishes in enacting revenge, and seems happy to finally kill Vanny and end his torment, though he does seem remorseful once the ordeal is over.
Despite his apparent vengefulness throughout his appearances, Gregory does show that he worries about others, and even risked himself in order to put an end to the multiple disappearances that were occurring around him.
Additionally, throughout his journey, he comes to develop a strong bond with Glamrock Freddy, relying on him and following his advice without hesitation. He also tries to help Glamrock Freddy to his best ability whenever the situation arises.
What is FNAF Gregory’s age?
Gregory is 13 to 14 years old during the events of Security Breach, and 12 years old during the GGY story from Tales from the Pizzaplex 5.
Is FNAF Gregory a robot?
Despite many theories suggesting that Gregory could be a robot (or even the robotic recreation of the iconic Crying Child), we now know that Gregory is not a robot.
Firstly, the official Five Nights at Freddy’s Character Encyclopedia lists Gregory as a human. Additionally, the Tales from the Pizzaplex: GGY confirms that Gregory is, in fact, patient 46 – a child who is described in the Retro CDs as having “great parents” and “a great childhood”.
On top of all that, Tales from the Pizzaplex: The Storyteller revolves around The Storyteller influencing animatronics and imparting them with specific traits, none of which Gregory shares. And, as patient 46, we know that Gregory was already on the Mimic’s side controlling Glamrock animatronics prior to The Storyteller taking over.
Who is Gregory possessed by?
While Gregory isn’t possessed in the same way the animatronics are, he is possessed by the Glitchtrap virus when he enters the Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex. Here, while working for the Mimic, he hacks all the Glamrock Animatronics to make the hostile, while also manipulating Vanessa to follow the Mimic’s instructions, too.
Beyond that, fan theories previously suggested that he was a robotic recreation of the Crying Child, and thus was possessed by his spirit. However, as mentioned above, the Five Nights at Freddy’s Character Encyclopedia lists Gregory as a human, and GGY’s references to Gregory having had “great parents” and “a great childhood” are, of course, not applicable to the Crying Child.
FNAF Gregory game appearances
So far, Gregory only appears as the main protagonist of Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach, and as a major character in its DLC expansion RUIN. Beyond that, he also appears as the main antagonist of GGY in the Tales from the Pizzaplex book series.
We don’t know whether Gregory will appear in any future games, novels, or other media, but we’ll be sure to update this guide if we hear anything else.
Who is the FNAF Gregory voice actor?
Marta Svetek is the voice actor for FNAF Gregory, who you may also recognize from her voice work in Horizon Forbidden West, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, and Battlefield 2042 as Commander Alloscka.
Is FNAF’s Gregory in the FNAF movie?
No, Gregory isn’t part of the FNAF movie cast. However, there’s a chance he might appear in a future movie – we’ll just have to wait and see.
