Wario is the titular main antagonist of the Five Nights at Wario's series, based off of the Five Night at Freddy's series. He is an evil spirit that wanders around at night at several different locations throughout the game and is the most recurring villain.
History
In 1988, Wario and Waluigi had recently opened up a small cafe called "Wario's", the two had a small budget, and things went well until the two decided to use the money they earned from the cafe to invest in building a fast food factory. However, it was difficult with just the both of them, so they hired Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. During one night, Wario stumbled upon a witch's book in the ground, which displayed a number of rituals, and Wario went through with one in order to increase the wealth of his factory, unknowingly cursing all his employees.
Not long after, a man named Bruno Gate burst into the factory to search for the secret recipe, and killed all the workers there, with Wario being the last victim. He got away in time before the angry spirits of Wario and his friends possessed their corpses and started hunting for him. Rosalina saw this, and sent them through a portal back in time, creating a paradox and sending them to Wario and Waluigi's first location. Wario started working the nightshift and came into contact with the wandering spirits, eventually closing up after the paranormal events and opening WarioWare until the place burned down. He and the crew then followed the events of the first timeline, as Wario built a fast food factory and got killed by falling down some stairs and knocking out two of his teeth. Wario and his friends moved on into a heavenly place, while the cursed souls possessed their bodies and started scaring and attacking people. They eventually killed Bruno Gate and came into contact with a man named Richard McRoy. They tried to kill him, only for him to escape and suffer from nightmares created by Wario and his friends.
WarioWare was eventually rebuilt, but not before Wario resurrected Bowser and Toad as zombie-like entities. He lead his crew to the building where they attacked a young man called Thomas Taylor, as Luigi possessed Richard McRoy, who had taken on the job as the phone guy. Eventually Richard was on the run from the police, forcing the gang to abandon the location. Wario's face was eventually burned off in an accident with Bowser, leaving only his bones, and lifting the curse from Bowser to return him under the factory as a lifeless corpse.
Wario and the gang moved on to Richard McRoy's old childhood house, and tried to kill the house protector Edward Coleman by having Wario find and curse Yoshi and Ashley, and eventually attracting Bruno Gate (now in the Wario Man suit). He asked the spirits for forgiveness, and apologized for his actions, thus lifting the curse off of everyone and leading their spirits to a better place. However, this resulted in Richard McRoy getting shot dead by the police after Peach left his body for taking over Luigi's space. Finally, Wario and his friends were at peace, and the cycle was broken.
Appearance
Wario appears identical to his former self but with a few differences, his eyes are whited out and he has two sets of teeth and a few of said teeth are missing, oddly enough they appear intact when he is staring at the camera in the freezing room during his jumpscare and in the game over screen and a few minor rooms. Wario's face was revealed to have been burned off by Bowser in Five Nights at Wario's 3.
Behavior

Five Nights at Wario's: Origins
Wario starts at Night 2, where he is the only active enemy. While he's active, he will repeat one of his paths:
- His fastest path has him come from the Backdoor, then go to the Attic and then to your room.
- His second path involves him coming from the Backdoor, then going to the Storage, before going to the Office and the Kitchen. He will then head to your room.
In order to avoid him, you will need to take a mushroom found in the Storage to turn invisible. He is also the one who will kill you if your safety goes down to zero.
