Ezra Lichtenburg

Ezra Lichtenburg is a character created by Aldrasos, and is controlled by the player in Five Nights at Freddy's - Meltdown.

Appearance
Ezra's appearance is fairly nondescript at work. He has a thick physical build, with dark brown eyes and short black hair, gelled and brushed backwards over his head. When at work he wears a simple combination of smart black trousers and long sleeved white shirt, with smart black shoes and a red tie. When out of work he favours black clothes, mainly jeans and a torn shirt under a thick black sleeveless leather jacket. His vehicle of choice is his Harley Davidson motorbike, and when he drives around he usually wears a full-visor helmet styled as a flaming skull.

Personality
Ezra has a very uncaring attitude. The only things he cares about is his family and motorbike, making him careless and unhelpful at the best of times. He is also particularly aggressive and gets annoyed very easily, which in turn leads to him getting into frequent fights. He is extremely dangerous and ruthless, and accepts challenges with little consideration.

Background
Ezra was born sometime in 1953 near where Fredbear's Family Diner would eventually open. He was never particularly academic, but excelled at sports above all else, especially those which involved combat of any sort. However, this led to him become overconfident and difficult to reason with, leading him to eventually run away from home at the age of 17 after arguments with his parents and siblings. He switched from job to job, varying from a casino bouncer to a professional boxer. He worked more for the thrill of the job rather than the money, but despite this he gained a lot of important skills and experience, discovering he was actually gifted at science and mathematics.

When he was in his thirties he formed his own biker gang which rose from the local riders to a international biking empire in only a few years. He got in trouble with the law several times, and eventually went to prison for several years for an unknown crime. When he was released he decided to cut back on his hobby and take up a proper job again, and through his numerous contacts secured himself a high-paying job as a human resources manager at a nuclear power station.

He soon decided to cut back on staff to reduce costs and the risk of accidents. He managed to convince his younger sister, who worked as assistant manager at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria to give him the animatronics to use. He believed that it would be efficient to use the animatronics for dangerous jobs which it would be unfit for humans. However, he ignored the warnings his sister gave him, and found the animatronics malfunctioning at night. Realising the risks but unwilling to throw away the opportunity of free labour he decided to replace the employee in charge of watching the station at night with himself, eager to prove he was greater than the mechanical monsters he had drafted into service.

Relationships

 * Richard Lynch - Lynch was a member of Ezra's biker gang, and it was Richard who managed to reactivate the animatronics for him. The two were friends, but didn't talk much
