| ~ Julius to Reed |
Julius is the main antagonist of "The Breaking Wheel", the second story in Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights #7: The Cliffs.
Biography[]
Julius attends the same robotics class as Reed. He acts like a bully towards almost everyone, with Reed being his favorite victim. As part of his robotics assignment, Julius has created an homemade exoskeleton, with clamps at the arms and legs, which can lock people inside. However, Pickle Girard, Reed's friend, has a remote which can accidentally control the exoskeleton by connecting it to a specific frequency. When Julius makes Pickle fall on the ground and break his nose, Reed decides to confront him. Julius wears his exoskeleton and mocks him, saying he originally made the exoskeleton to be faster and stronger, but that, since he's already enough fast and strong, he'll use it to trap Reed inside and make him Julius' slave. However, the robot malfunctions, causing Julius to fall on the ground. Reed decides to give him a taste of his own medicine, and locks the clamps, leaving him trapped inside until the next day.
Reed then goes to the Girard home with Pickle and her twin sister Shelly to do homework together. During the trip back home, Shelly read a book about athe breaking wheel, an ancient torture device in which a person would get tied to a wheel and have his bones broken. When they come home, Ory, Shelly and Pickle's little brother, decides to use the remote to control Pickle's little robot. Reed then remembers that Julius' exoskeleton had its movement affected by the remote of the other robots, and starts to be afraid that, by moving Pickle's robot around and making him do unnatural movements, Ory has unwillingly twisted and deformed Julius' body, just like the breaking wheel did. When Ory slams the little robot into the wall of a doll house made by Shelly, a similar slam is heard from outside the walls of the house. The Girard siblings believe that it's the wind, and head outside to get some sodas, leaving Reed all alone. Then, something breaks into the house, and Reed is attacked by the mutilated corpse of Julius trapped inside the exoskeleton, which looks exactly like Reed imagined a victim of the wheel would. Reed attempts to fight the endoskeleton, but fails when he manages to catch it. The exoskeleton attaches itself to Reed and presses against his chest and his mouth, preventing him from screaming or asking for help as the exoskeleton reaches for Reed's throat.
Reed's friends return from their quick outing, and Pickle gives Ory the controller. The young child starts playing round and controlling the small robot, until and then all the buttons on the remote, which causes the robot to spin and thrash uncontrollably before destroying itself. It can be presumed that both Reed and Julius ended up meeting the same fate.
Trivia[]
- "The Breaking Wheel" was originally supposed to be the first story in the book, and thus would've also been the book's title. However, it was dropped because the cover was considered too scary. Series creator Scott Cawthon later released the cover on Reddit.
- In contrast to most dead people and animatronics in the series, Julius doesn't appear to be possessing the exoskeleton and remains dead, with the exoskeleton being controlled by Ory's remote.
- However, it's strongly implied Julius' soul, or his agony, managed to have a certain degree of control over the exoskeleton, since, towards the ending of the story, it moves and tries to kill Reed even when Ory isn't using the controller.
