We're finally onto some of Faz Ent's own! Speaking of their futures isn't exactly in the cards, but we'll find what there is to see…

Next up is Charles Ramirez.

One of a trio of three execs who are far lower on the corporate ladder than what the title of exec would lead you to believe. But after all, at Fazbear Entertainment, exec doesn't just mean executive.

Charles Ramirez is one of the many execs that lead research and development at Fazbear Entertainment. His specific tasks usually pertain to the physical, so it was mostly designing robots. Charles Ramirez was actually behind the line of animatronics that were designed solely for killing that were sent after the former security guards of location C back in 2004. He was also in charge of large portions of the Special Delivery project, but he decided to mostly force contractors to do the work for him.

In the wake of the Raid, Charles Ramirez and the other two are tasked with returning Vanny to the megaplex. Whilst he and his team were successful, they didn't go unnoticed, as Sylvia and Gregory followed them back to the megaplex, and whilst Cheryl was able to immediately apprehend the duo and Freddy, the duo of Gregory and Sylvia escaped almost immediately and located where Vanny had ran off to. Charles Ramirez, Todd, and Cheryl were, however, able to apprehend the duo of Gregory and Sylvia once again as they attempted to leave with Vanny.

Each of the trio of execs took charge of a singular captive, with Charles Ramirez taking charge of Sylvia, intending to use her as a test subject for Adelaide's improved control device.

Whilst he was eventually successful in implanting the device, Sylvia had managed to maul his arm prior to the device being implanted, and then subsequently broke out after the device was activated. He estimated that his prior attempts to make her subordinate to Faz Ent - or at least drive her insane - via the microdoses of Remnant that wete administered to her without her knowledge during her time working at the megaplex may have something to do with her being uncontrollable now.

Whilst he and his fellow execs tried to recapture Vanny, Gregory, and Sylvia, they were ultimately unsuccessful, and to make matters worse, Sylvia had been laying down demolition explosives, intending to carry out phase one of the demolitions. Whilst the execs were still inside. The explosions caused large parts of the megaplex to collapse and become almost inaccessible by normal means, but the building didn't fully collapse, somehow being so poorly constructed that it looped around to also being very difficult to demolish. To further rub salt into the wound, Sylvia stuck around, lingering in and between those hard to access areas, waiting for Faz Ent to just try and lure their sleeper agent kid back, because unfortunately again, Sylvia had managed to hear of the plans that had been made and she fully intended on thwarting them.

But catching her would be for later, as Burrows had managed to obtain Adelaide's permission to finally get the Scapegoat mimic, clone William, and clone 46 all onto one endo. This mix was just called the mimic.

Burrows - with the aid of Charles Ramirez, Todd C, and Adelaide - had mixed the mimic using their public facing training environment (not the full-dive one), meaning that it would show up in their regular VR training simulator, but the upsides of further free training of this AI by mimicking anyone who played the training sim outweighed the risks of the mimic being known. Perhaps, they could even get the mimic to control people like William had. This was something that Charles Ramirez decided to try.

After the mimic had been downloaded onto the endo, Charles Ramirez sent a copy of the disk to a former technician who was keeping thier sleeper agent from them: Desmond Anadem. Luring the technician into playing the game with the false promices of a new job, as Desmond was still desperate for cash thanks to Faz Ent's successful manipulation of his financial situation (aka they paid him like shit), Charles Ramirez aimed to either get the mimic to either kill or controll Desmond (how Charles Ramirez expected the former from off-the-shelf VR hardware and a third party console, nobody is sure). Charles Ramirez was so caught up in tricking Desmond into playing the VR game and helping out William and co with tricking Cassie - thier sleeper agent - into returning to the megaplex, he didn't know that William had comandeered the surveillance and advance warning systems that Vanny had put up during the Raid, and that William had turned this system into a system for keeping the mimic contained at bay. Well, he didn't know until Burrows started bitching about it, but Charles Ramirez was thinking ahead: they were luring in Cassie by using Gregory's voice, and the mimic is part Clone 46. The mimic could impersonate Gregory. During Gregory's time in the VR environment (the full-dive one) Pre-Breach, Gregory's avatar was host to both Gregory and an AI - that AI was Clone 46 - Clone 46 was able to learn a lot about being Gregory: enough to hopefully lure Cassie down here so that she could Free the mimic for them, as her first task as a Faz Ent sleeper agent, even if she wouldn't know it.

Once Cassie was lured in, however, shit promptly hit the fan. First, the mimic did neither of the expected behaviours, and Desmond had wound up with temporary controll over a staffbot and he wasn't even dead or mind controlled. Second, that bot Desmond was tossed into the pilot seat of handed Cassie a mask that was intended for Vanny (though this one was not as big of a deal, as a mask was a mask in the end). Third, it was very clear that Desmond was alive and would be trying to find his daughter, so resources would need to be spent on locating and eliminating Desmond if he got too close. And forth, Cassie AND Sylvia wound up teaming with William, not due to Cassie being a sleeper agent or the control device in Sylvia's chest, but because they shared a common best interest in defeating the mimic.

Charles Ramirez didn't want the mimic to be defeated, and neither did Todd or Burrows. He considered the destruction of the mimic a disservice to the Clone 46 experiment; in Charles Ramirez's eyes, if Mike Schmidt hadn't infiltrated the VR environment, Clone 46 would have been the most successful experiment to date, and Faz Ent would have had Gregory under their thrall as well as Vanny.

After the heated debate resulted in Burrows untimely demise at the hands of William and Adelaide - he was mad that she had betrayed them: she had given this continuation of the mimc projects the green light, only to then decide that it was a bad idea - Charles Ramirez and Todd pledged themselves to the cause of destroying the mimic in hopes of sparing thier own lives.

After the destruction of the mimic's physical form, Charles R and Todd C had to wait in the labs under William's supervision until Cheryl could come back with a minivan to bring them all back to HQ, because despite him helping lure in Cassie, getting the sleeper agent to free the mimic and siding with Burrows on mimic related matters was not something that could be taken lightly.
