Phone Guy

The Phone Guy was a previous security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. He helps the player by telling them about the behaviors of the animatronics at the start of each night until The 4th Night, which is his final message.

Players dispute whether or not the Phone Guy is actually an ally, saying it seems odd that he insists that they stay, and downplays the situation instead of telling them to quit or leave immediately. He may be a forced ally, but he's the only one the player has.

Personality
The Phone Guy is somewhat nonchalant, and there is absolutely no explanation as to why. Throughout the game, he does his best to inform the player that there's "really nothing to worry about," despite the obvious danger. It's unknown if he's lying to the guards out of free will, if he's obligated to do so, or just trying to make Mike Schmidt and Jeremy Fitzgerald feel better.

He seems to be very hesitant and awkward at times, often stuttering and nervously laughing, implying that he might be worried about the possibility of someone hearing his warnings and advice regarding the animatronics. Of course, it's also likely that he is generally anxious and on edge because of the imminent chance of death at their hands.

At the start of the 1st Night and up until the 4th Night, Phone Guy will call and leave a message. The messages are transcribed below. Do not read ahead if you do not want Phone Guy's calls to be spoiled.

When the audio clip is played backwards and some post-processing applied, it is rendered into a difficult to understand, and hard to translate, garble.  While numerous possible fan translations exist, a more recent speculation is that the call is in fact an excerpt from the book Autobiography of a Yogi ''by Paramhansa Yogananda. It has not been confirmed, however, and is simply speculated because of the frequent matches in hand-translated phrases ''that most translators of the call have found. The complete passage speculated to be in the call is as follows:
