— Rowan Stoll, Recording 01 |
Rowan Stoll was the Head of Information Technology at Playtime Co. In 1991, he was targeted by the company after he raised his concerns about Huggy Wuggy's moving eyes, followed by his discovery of the Bigger Bodies Initiative. Rowan was eaten by Boxy Boo before he could release classified information.
Rowan debuted in the Rowan Stoll Recordings, a series of tapes exclusively downloadable on Rowan Stoll's Computer Database secured on his FTP server.
Appearance[]
Rowan has dark brown hair and brown eyes, along with stubble on his chin. He wears circular glasses and the generic Playtime Co. employee outfit: a yellow long-sleeved polo shirt with a Playtime Co. ID lanyard. He wore dark blue khakis as seen in his final recording.
Personality[]
Judging by the tapes, Rowan appeared to be very good with computers, as he was the Head of Information Technology at Playtime Co. He also had a lot of power in his department, being able to arrange for the factory's servers to be shut down for maintenance or swept for leaked company secrets. Originally, he cared about the company and investigated anything Playtime Co. might have inadvertently done that would damage their reputation, even if it was regarded as a joke to his colleagues. He also seemed scared of Leith Pierre, as he constantly stuttered in the recordings; however, he could just have trouble speaking.
Once he discovered Playtime Co.'s Bigger Bodies Initiative, he lost all faith in the company, doing everything he could to expose their vile deeds to the public. His fear of Leith Pierre also increased exponentially, with Rowan stating that he "is a different person entirely." After a failed attempt on his life, Rowan became paranoid, believing he would die by Playtime Co.'s hand.
History[]
Backstory[]
Rowan Stoll was born on April 11, 1960.[1] He was presumably hired at Playtime Co. in October 1986 when he received the Employee Confidentiality Agreement form. Rowan would become Head of the IT department.[2]
On May 9, 1988, Rowan made a post asking an unspecified receiver to stop querying him about fixing the Puzzle Pillar machines and call a mechanic instead, explaining he works with computers.[3]
On July 24, 1990, after fixing the company's phone line, Rowan added a piano tune that played while on hold.[4]
Recordings[]
On March 30, 1991, Rowan attempted to catch the attention of Leith Pierre by making a recording, regarding the possibility that the eyes in the Huggy Wuggy statue in the Main Lobby secretly held nanny cameras. This followed multiple tour guests complaining that Huggy Wuggy was staring at kids, and although seeming like a joke, Rowan believed that this was true. Leith had already not wanted to hear more about the case, but Rowan hoped he would understand the situation.
On May 28, Rowan sent another recording to Leith, apologizing and backtracking his previous statements. He explains he talked to a maintenance worker and the man simply failed to lock Huggy's eyes in place, causing them to dangle. Rowan tells Leith the case is dropped and that there will be no more videos from him.
Later, Rowan started uncovering confidential information about the company, including their experiments and a man-eating monster. In response, Playtime Co. took away Rowan's pension and issued multiple disciplinary actions. On July 11, the company sabotaged Rowan's car, causing a tire to fly off while he was on the interstate, nearly killing him.
On July 15, Rowan recorded his final video made to be found by someone outside of Playtime Co. Distressed about dying soon, he explained he scheduled a maintenance shutdown for the servers next week, and while they're down, he would release the evidence and run. The same day, Rowan wrote a letter to his mother using his Employee Confidentiality Agreement form. He tells her he's going away and not to come looking for him. Rowan asks her to access his computer and to take what she finds to the police.
Human Resources realized Rowan's intentions and wrote a memo to Security, stating, "We recommend steps are taken to deal with this employee."[5]
On July 20, Rowan issued a memo for Playtime Co. employees, notifying them of an upcoming computer database sweep by IT.
Death[]
At an unspecified time, Rowan decided to visit an area in the factory, possibly backstage of the Theater. There, he encountered Boxy Boo's idle box. Rowan walked up to it only for Boxy to spring his square head toward the 31-year-old employee, swallowing him alive. Rowan was Boxy's first victim,[5] his death captured by the Virtual Security System.

Trivia[]
- Rowan Stoll is the owner of two different dogs.[2]
- His first dog is named "Molly", which is a reference to the real Office Dog seen in Mob Entertainment's office, Molly.
- His second dog is named "PJ", which is a reference to the well-known toy PJ Pug-a-Pillar.
- Before the second recording of Rowan Stoll Recordings, it was believed that the man in the videos wasn't Rowan Stoll. This was until his name tag was shown in the second recording.
- People presume that Rowan Stoll was the one who wrote the Employee Confidentiality Agreement due to the number of times he had been mentioned for nearly no reason or disregard at all.
