How do you think Springtrap feels about being in the Entity's realm?

Springtrap is an odd character, as his motivations are quite convoluted, and as this is Springtrap plucked from FNaF 3, he seemed to only have ever targeted children up to this point. I am curious as to how Springtrap ended up in the Realm, and how he is incentivised to kill adults.

I believe the first conclusion is that he went willingly, likely enticed at the prospect of killing more. Now, I'm an oldhead when it comes to FNaF, I stopped paying attention to the lore when Steel Wool began to churn out watered down baby horror, so my rough knowledge is from FNaF - FNaF 6. and that William Afton harvested something called "Remnant".

Something tells me that "Remnant" would be something The Entity would show interest in, and so makes me wonder why Springtrap would be willing to kill for something other than his own personal goals.


My next train of thought is that Afton was somewhat unwillingly stolen from the burning building in either UCN, or Fazbear's Fright. I feel like he wouldn't protest too much, as he was going to be trapped in Hell otherwise (unless he was taken from UCN).

I suppose my theory on the matter is that Afton is willing to serve the Entity purely because it did him a favour (this is not to say that Afton feel indebted to the Entity, moreso that he feels like the Entity is on his side), and the fact his only job is to continue killing, he likely is there passively, or likely doesn't realise that the Entity has trapped him / that he doesn't really have a choice in the matter.

    Considering that the version of Afton we’re getting is FNAF 3 Springtrap, we can guess that Springtrap’s in-game lore is going to take place anywhere from right after he got Springlocked to the FNAF 3 fire

    What I predict his lore’s going to be is a retelling of him getting Springlocked, then found by Phone Dude, and then Fazbear’s Fright burns down, with the Entity taking Afton when he has no way out as the building collapses around him

    I also feel like Afton, if he realises the truth of the situation, would likely not want to serve the Entity, but would rather be indifferent to it. I don't believe he is the type to cower and obey, but rather he does what the Entity wants purely because he knows he's better off in the Fog than he would be burning in hell.
