History
The Puppeteer is revealed to be the killer of the entertainers wearing the RAT and CAT suits, depicted during the fifth night of Five Nights at Candy’s 3. The Puppeteer inadvertently kills the RAT mascot after an altercation regarding the employee's drunkenness at work. Grappling, the employee manages to break free, only to hit his head on the table holding Vinnie the Puppet. Afterwards, the CAT mascot enters the room, discovers the body, and attempts to call the police. However, The Puppeteer intentionally kills the CAT mascot to ensure that his crime will go unnoticed. The Puppeteer then lies to the police, puts his entertainer diploma away, and leaves. Unbeknownst to everyone else, the entire incident is overheard by Mary Schmidt. After the incident, the Puppeteer went on to star on the horror movie PSYCHOPATH as the villain, receiving critical acclaim for his role and leaving many wondering why is he so good at it. Mary then went to therapy and eventually told the truth that the Puppeteer was arrested for his crimes and it is heavily impiled that he died in prison. It is also shown that his spirit embodied the hallucination form of Vinnie from the first two games.

- The incident that unfolds on Night 5, involving the Puppeteer and the other mascots, was alluded to in various newspaper articles found in the Deepscape of Night 5. These newspaper clippings, however, depict the incident as the Puppeteer told the police, not what actually happened.
