About Edwin Murray

Edwin Murray is depicted as a happy young man with fair skin and well-groomed dark brown hair. He has blue eyes and square glasses with thick rims. Edwin is usually shown wearing a shirt and a bowtie. Edwin Murray is an intelligent and clever person, as shown through his ability to create many animatronics and the Mimic. However, he's also shown to be quick to anger and aggression towards Fazbear Entertainment. When Edwin has his mind set on something, he'll work non-stop to achieve his goals.

Edwin Murray inherited Murray's Costume Manor from his father, who died of old age. Edwin however wasn't sure if he was worthy enough to continue his father's legacy, but he had an idea, which was to make his creations real. While working for a project, he met Fiona and asked her if he could use her voice. After a while the two got together and then got married. Murray's Costume Manor became something bigger, with many companies, such as Fazbear Entertainment, commissioning him different projects, mainly animatronic characters. Some of his creations are Chica the Chicken for Chica's Party World and Foxy the Pirate, mostly designed by Fiona. Edwin coined the term "recycling" and the factory had the world's first recycling center. At some point, Edwin and Fiona had a son; David Murray. Edwin was so obsessed with his work that sometimes didn't want to celebrate David's birthdays with them. Before David's third birthday, Fiona goes to Fall Fest and dies, leaving Edwin alone with David.

Due to his loss and not having time to take care of David, Edwin decided to create an animatronic called Mimic1 which could learn and mimic human behavior. David was scared of the endoskeleton, but Edwin assured him that it could become any character. M1 started to mimic Fiona to the point it actually thought it was the real Fiona, acting like David's new mother figure.

The day of David's fourth birthday, David tragically dies, getting hit by a car while M1 was supposed to take care of him. Edwin was desperate, but M1 convinced him to create another Mimic so it could act like David. While he thought it was a good idea at first, Edwin couldn't take it anymore and got angry at M1, saying that it's not the real Fiona. M1's program was then put in a machine called F10-N4 and the endoskeleton was used for Mimic2.

At some point, Fazbear Entertainment commissioned the "Fazbear project" which consisted of creating the new animatronic band for their new upcoming pizzeria; Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. However, the owners of the company, Henry Emily and William Afton, started changing ideas last minute to the point that there was not enough budget to finish it. They didn't want them to be springlock suits anymore, despite Edwin making new and and a bit safer versions of springlock suits. They then started to secretly sabotage his company, with William Afton convincing an employee to get info on Edwin's projects, then proceeded to convince other employees to join Fazbear Entertainment. Thanks to the spy, Fazbear Entertainment found out about the Mimic Project and wanted it at all costs.

During a rage induced mental breakdown, when Mimic2 started mimicking David, Edwin attempted to violently destroy M2, in turn, infusing it with his agony, pouring his murderous thoughts and emotions into M2's systems, causing it to perpetually mimic Edwin's worst traits. M2 caused an explosive accident in Edwin's home office, it began to copy his voice and repeatedly mocked Edwin's helplessness while forcing him to reflect on his neglectful behavior, revealing its grudge towards its creator. It makes fun of Edwin even further by talking about the new legs it built for its body. M2 then started killing everyone sent by Fazbear Entertainment trying to get the Mimic Project, while F10-N4 made sure M2 stayed contained and prevented anyone from letting it escape or get its hands on the information of its creation.

All the information is from the wiki fandom mostly because I'm lazy...sorry

Edwin Murray is a contractor and contractors are not employees of the client, but are instead hired through a contractual agreement to complete a specific task or project.

While Edwin did make the costumes and animatronics, the characters were still Fazbear Entertainment's ideas
