Five Night at Freddy's Novel Series[]

The Silver Eyes[]

Carlton is part of the group of friends consisting of Charlotte, John, Jessica, Lamar, Marla, and Michael Brooks. Carlton was at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza with his friends when a man in a Spring Bonnie suit took and murdered Michael. Due to this incident and the killing of four more children, Freddy's was forced to close. This caused the group of friends to take separate paths and move out of the city, with the exception of Carlton, who, along with his family, decided to stay in Hurricane.

Ten years later it is decided to commemorate the anniversary of this tragedy, leading the group of friends to reunite in their hometown. Carlton, being that he was the only one who stayed in town, tells them that it is very likely that Freddy's is still standing, leading the group to decide to go investigate. Later, Carlton was knocked unconscious by William Afton, who was wearing the Spring Bonnie suit. Carlton was then trapped inside one of the hybrid suits, capable of killing him at any moment. Luckily, Charlie discovered Carlton and managed to get him out of the suit. The after-effects of being trapped in the suit for several days appeared to make Carlton ill and weak.

Towards the end of the story, Carlton and his friends managed to get out of the restaurant after Charlie killed William Afton by triggering the springlocks of the Spring Bonnie suit whilst he was wearing it. Carlton suffered a slight cerebral concussion due to the suit in which he was trapped.

The Twisted Ones[]

After the terrible events of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Clay and Betty decided that the best thing for Carlton was to leave the city for a while. Carlton also seemed to suffer nightmares due to the trauma he had experienced. Betty later takes him to her sister's house. At some point, Carlton decided to go east and study acting.

The Fourth Closet[]

Carlton returns to Hurricane for the spring break after Charlie allegedly returns from the dead. Later, when he is hospitalized, he asks about Charlie after nearly dying when William Afton injects him with molten hot remnant.
