Biography[]
Five Nights at Pingas 4
The Illuminati first appears as an enemy on Night 4 alongside Mexican Satan, and it always remains in movement on the cameras. It never stands still like other characters like Robotnik, Sanic, etc. but rather moves constantly and very slowly similarly to Peppy Hare, but it cannot be clicked on. The Illuminati can attack you from either the front or basement doorway, and when you cut the light on, the Illuminati will cause your screen to be distorted. To indicate when the Illuminati is at your doorway, a couple seconds of the intro to Sanic's theme song will play. The Illuminati can jumpscare if you leave the light on, even with the door closed. The Illuminati's role is then assumed by Half-Life 3 on Night 6 when Holy Lord Gabe and his friends return from vacation.
The Illuminati also appears in the Great Escape, and it can jumpscare you if you happen to fall into any of the bottomless pits.
Five Nights at Pingas 5
The Illuminati returns as the seventh playable character in Five Nights at Pingas 5, and it is tasked with defending the F.B.I.'s underwear against Peppy Hare and his army of Pingas Robots.
In Illuminati's campaign, you control the Illuminati, who has the ability to fly. The Illuminati can fly across the screen at high rates, and doing so can cause the screen to glitch out with flashing colors, while also making distorted beeping noises. Much like Dr. Robotnik and Scratch, the Illuminati has no ability to directly attack enemies, and there are no additionally abilities given that can help you defend against the Pingas Robots. The Briefer at the beginning of every night also doesn't give you much information since he thinks the Illuminati is too sexy for info. The Illuminati is the most difficult character to play as in the entirety of Five Nights at Pingas 5. Defend the F.B.I. for five nights as the Iluminati, it is then freed from Hell and given a cell in a maximum security prison within the F.B.I., and you unlock "Illuminati's Nightmare".
In Illuminati's Nightmare, you are trapped in an area very similar to the one in Doge's Nightmare, and you, the Illuminati, are forced to spread hate. However, there's a problem, there are many happy objects that are coming to ruin your fun, these happy objects including; Pink Unicorns, Happy Children, and Hyper-Realistic Smiley Faces. These happy things will fly from behind the foreground and attempt to get away, and you must use your gun to shoot them and kill them, click on them to shoot them. If you let any of the happy things get away, it will result in Barney jumpscaring you, therefore ending the nightmare. You must let the hate spread all the way to 150 in order to escape the nightmare.
The Illuminati appears in the Prison Escape mini-game, where it is saved by Dr. Robotnik and successfully escapes from the F.B.I., where it then goes into hiding.
Five Nights at Pingas 6
Mexican Satan Campaign
The Illuminati returns as a night shift enemy on the third night of the Mexican Satan Campaign, where the Illuminati had been sent by Holy Lord Gabe to kill Dr. Robotnik. The Illuminati acts very similar to how it did in Five Nights at Pingas 4, but it's more reminiscent of Peppy Hare rather than the Illuminati. The Illuminati will slowly float and move across the map of Hell's Border Control, and you have to click on it to get rid of it, causing it to explode into pieces. You have to check every camera in order to find where the Illuminati is, unless it happens to pass through a current camera you're looking through. If you fail to click the Illuminati, it will kill you, resulting in a jumpscare, and the doors are unable to stop it this time.
Holy Lord Gabe Campaign
The Illuminati also appears in Holy Lord Gabe's Campaign, where we learn as to how the Illuminati got in contact with Gabe and is therefore helping him attack Hell. After Holy Lord Gabe defeats the boss of The Edge, he sees nothing but a bright, white light, but he sees something in the distance, that someone being the Illuminati. Holy Lord Gabe is confused because he thought that the Illuminati went into hiding after Robotnik freed it from the F.B.I., but it of course is the Illuminati and has no reason to go into hiding. The Illuminati is actually a security guard in The Edge for the mystical "707411Y L33T TREE", and he agrees to leave his post to go help Holy Lord Gabe attack Hell, where Holy Lord Gabe then makes it to the tree to get another Killer Stick.
It is currently unknown as of the whereabouts of the Illuminati after all is said and done.
Jumpscare[]
Five Nights at Pingas 4
The Illuminati will slowly start out in the middle of the screen and grow continuously while playing a loud version of the X-Files theme as its jumpscare noise.
Five Nights at Pingas 6
The Illuminati will start out at the bottom of the screen and go to the top, then gradually moving down slower and growing larger, while in the back a bunch of flashing green lights appear.
Trivia[]
- The Illuminati is one of the few characters in Five Nights at Pingas 6 to appear in both of the main campaigns.
- The song that plays when you see the Illuminati in the doorway is "Induction" by Gamma Ray.
- While the Illuminati has a very unique way of moving around in Five Nights at Pingas 4 since it needs to be stopped by the doors, but in Five Nights at Pingas 6, its mechanic is a lot more similar to Weegee and Peppy Hare's.
- The Illuminati is replaced by Half-Life 3 on Night 6 of FNaP4 when Holy Lord Gabe and his friends return home from vacation.
- The Illuminati is currently very switched on whose sides it is on, since in both Five Nights at Pingas 4 and 5, it is helping Robotnik and Mexican Satan, and Robotnik even freed it from the F.B.I., while Mexican Satan apparently even has Illuminati Magic, but it backstabs them in Five Nights at Pingas 6 by turning to Lord Gabe's side and trying to kill Robotnik. The best assumption that can be made about this is that it's the Illuminati, so nobody really knows what it's thinking.
- The Illuminati doesn't have a gender that is known about, since it is the Illuminati, but in Five Nights at Pingas 6, we find out its voice is a very feminine sounding one.
