			The ] features a large cast of characters created primarily by directors and screenwriters ], ], ], ], and ].
			The films mainly focus on the character of ] (]), the "Jigsaw Killer," who seeks out those he considers to be wasting their lives and subjects them to torturous and lethal traps, referred to as "tests" and "games," in an attempt to make them appreciate being alive.
	==Antagonists==
	===Amanda Young===
	{{mainarticle|Amanda Young}}
	*Amanda Young was portrayed by ].
			The franchise consists of ten films: '']'' (2004), '']'' (2005), '']'' (2006), '']'' (2007), '']'' (2008), '']'' (2009), '']'' (2010), '']'' (2017), '']'' (2021), and '']'' (2023).
	Amanda was a heroin addict whom John met at a hospital, and subsequently became one of his first three victims. She survived her test, however, and proceeded to become Jigsaw's apprentice. Amanda started to create her own games and traps once Jigsaw became too ill to work. These games included: Detective Matthews' test, the Classroom Trap, the Angel Trap, and the Shotgun Collar. The last three were designed to be inescapable, killing the players even if they succeeded in doing what was asked of them. This was due to Amanda's view that nobody changed if they survived the traps and would simply go back to abusing their lives. She was later shot in the neck and killed by Jeff Reinhart after she shot his wife, Lynn. Amanda's corpse was shown again in '']'' and '']''.

			===Principal characters===
	John Kramer was a vigilante, afflicted with terminal cancer, who built and created traps (which he referred to as games) for victims whom he believed took their lives for granted. After the death of his unborn child and learning of his inoperable frontal lobe tumor, he tried to kill himself by driving off a cliff, but survived. From then on, using his knowledge of engineering, John went on to create devices to test a victim's will to live. He abducted people whom he believed didn't appreciate life and caused them to undergo tests that in some way reflected what he perceived to be their flaws (such as drugs, lies, apathy, negligence, obsession, etc.), and if they passed their test, they would be free to go. He marked his failed test subjects by removing a piece of skin in the shape of a jigsaw piece, from which police coined his alias, Jigsaw (although John dislikes this name). It is later learned that he gained an apprentice in Amanda Young, one of his only surviving players. John was killed by Jeff Reinhart with a circular saw at the end of the third movie. With Amanda being shot and killed by Jeff in '']'', it is soon learned that he had another apprentice, who was revealed as Mark Hoffman in '']''. During John's autopsy, a tape found in his stomach proved to contain a message for Hoffman that the games will continue despite John's death and Hoffman himself will be tested. Jigsaw appears in ''Saw V'', in a series of flashbacks that depict his recruitment of Hoffman after he blackmailed him to be an accomplice. Tobin Bell is set to reprise his role as Jigsaw in ''Saw VI''.

	===Mark Hoffman===
	*Mark Hoffman<ref name=SawVProductionNotes></ref> was portrayed by ].
			-->
	Lieutenant Mark D. Hoffman first appeared in ''Saw III'' as a detective working at the crime scene investigation of Troy's demise, where he, Lieutenant Rigg, and Detective Kerry analyzed the scene. While Rigg and Kerry conversed, Hoffman pocketed some of the evidence.
			<!--
			The rows were created to include every individual piece of ''Saw'' media that presents a storyline. Therefore, Saw: Rebirth and Saw: The Video Game fit into this table and non-story items such as Saw: The Ride and Saw: Game Over maze should not be placed into this table. Also, Saw: Full Disclosure Report and the Scott Tibbs Documentary would not apply because they are not individual pieces of ''Saw' uncut edition ' media, they were included on the DVDs, even though they do present story information.
	Hoffman later appeared in ''Saw IV'' in a trap that was part of a series of tests for Rigg. After Rigg failed his tests, Hoffman removed himself from the trap, revealing himself to be an accomplice of Jigsaw. He then left Rigg to bleed to death in one room, and locked FBI Agent Peter Strahm in another room. FBI Agent Lindsey Perez noted at one point that Hoffman held the rank of Lieutenant and had won a number of awards during his time as a police officer. He is revealed to be the person who wrote the letter to Amanda in the third film. Hoffman was later called to a morgue following the autopsy of Jigsaw, where a tape was handed to him which was discovered in Jigsaw's stomach. The tape stated that although Jigsaw is dead, Hoffman will not go untested.
			-->
	In ''Saw V'', Hoffman walks out of the Gideon building with Corbett, the daughter of Lynn and Jeff from ''Saw III''. Hoffman claims no one survived, until it is shown that Agent Peter Strahm survived his trap. Strahm then begins investigating Hoffman as a Jigsaw apprentice as Hoffman walked out of the Gideon building untouched, and Perez spoke his name just before she died. Throughout the fifth film, a series of flashbacks shows us Hoffman's relationship with Jigsaw. It is revealed that Hoffman's sister was brutally murdered by her boyfriend, Seth, whom Hoffman tries to get revenge on by setting up a Jigsaw type trap. The trap was only designed to torture and kill Seth without allowing him any chance of escape (a flaw shared by the traps Amanda Young later produced), but the police overlook this fact and blame it on Jigsaw, who is angered at getting credit for a trap that doesn't fit his ]. Jigsaw captured Hoffman and after initially placing him in a makeshift trap that would have blown his head off with a shotgun, Jigsaw blackmailed him into becoming an accomplice by threatening to reveal what he knew about Seth's demise. Hoffman then begins to help Jigsaw with his work. This included helping set up the razor-wire trap from ''Saw'', setting up Lawrence Gordon as a suspect, and helping prepare the nerve gas house from ''Saw II''. He also helped set up an elaborate game which is discussed just before the events of the third film; this proves to be the series of sewer traps in ''Saw V'', combined with the plot to frame Peter Strahm as Jigsaw's successor.

			===Recurring major characters===
	After realizing Agent Strahm had become increasingly suspicious of him, Hoffman decided to set up a test which he planned for Peter to fail. He took Strahm's phone and planted it near the location of the current game. It is here that he planned for Dan Erickson, who was by this time in charge of the Jigsaw case at the FBI, to find the phone and suspect Peter of being the new accomplice.

	Meanwhile, Strahm followed Hoffman into his home. He went downstairs, and uncovers a room with a transparent box filled with glass in the middle of the room. This is the same box Jigsaw had been constructing in Saw IV. Strahm also found a tape instructing him to get into the box. It stated that if he would, he might suffer some pain, but his life would be spared. Strahm decided to ignore the warning, stopping the tape as he hears Hoffman approach the room. Hoffman walked into the room, with no sign of Strahm. Strahm soon appeared behind Hoffman, attacking him. The two engaged in a fight that ends with Strahm pushing Hoffman into the glass box. Hoffman was sealed in the box, and the door to the room closes behind Strahm. Strahm furiously demanded to know how to open the door. Hoffman pointed down at the tape Strahm had just played. Strahm played the rest of the tape, which stated that if he didn't get into the box the room would become his tomb and he would simply "vanish". The glass box, with Hoffman in it, began to lower into the ground while the walls in the room began to close. The tape revealed that Hoffman's legacy would soon become Strahm's, since all evidence in the Jigsaw case now pointed to him. The walls closed, crushing Strahm in the room. The final shot shows Hoffman looking up, through the box covered with Strahm's blood as the walls came to a final close.

	==Protagonists==
	===Adam Faulkner/Stanheight===
	*Adam Faulkner/Stanheight<ref name=Stanheight></ref> was portrayed by Saw writer and co-creator, ].
			-->
	Adam appeared in ''Saw'' as a photographer hired and paid by the discharged Detective David Tapp to follow Lawrence Gordon and take pictures of him. He was targeted and kidnapped by the Jigsaw killer for "being a voyeur" of other peoples lives without indulging in his own. Adam was placed into a game of Jigsaw's, alongside Lawrence. The two of them were chained by the ankle to pipes at opposite ends of a grimy bathroom and given conflicting goals; Lawrence was told to kill Adam by 6:00 in order to save his family, while Adam had to find some way to stay alive. Adam had been initially placed unconscious in a bathtub full of water along with the key to his shackle, which would have allowed him to escape without harm. However, he panicked upon waking up and kicked the stopper loose, causing the key to be sucked down the drain. Adam killed Zep Hindle, whom he thought was Jigsaw, only to discover that the seemingly dead man in the middle of the bathroom floor was alive and the real killer. He ultimately failed his 'game' and was left to die in the trap alone. In '']'', it is revealed that Jigsaw's apprentice, Amanda Young, returned to the bathroom and suffocated Adam to death to end his suffering. According to the original script, the key was not meant to go down the drain, or at least not right away; Amanda had tied the stopper to Adam's ankle, something she had not been instructed to do. Adam's last name was originally shown as "Faulkner", however, in ''Saw V'', his last name is listed as Stanheight, so Faulkner may be his middle name. Because of this, Adam's surname is not completely clear.

	Brit was a victim placed in a game in ''Saw V'' which involved four other people. In the beginning it was revealed she is a VP at a real estate company. From the very beginning she and fellow victim, Mallick, worked together to analyze the traps. She took all five keys from the first room just in case they were needed later in the game. In the second room she was the first one to receive a key and was not involved in Charles’s death. In the third room she killed Luba, saying she had never trusted her. She then used Luba’s body to connect the several wires together in order to open the door to the next room. In the final room, she realized that a building fire which had killed eight people connected the five victims of these games; she had initiated a plan to burn the building down, knowing that it was not abandoned. In addition, she determined that all five victims could have survived every trap up to this point by working together, rather than allowing one person to die in each room. She, however, worked with Mallick to fill a beaker with the required amount of blood to open the exit from the game. She managed to crawl out of the room. Dan Erickson found her as she fell unconscious, saying "we won, we worked together". Erickson then called for medical assistance.

	Daniel appeared in '']'' as the son of ]. During a visitation with his father, Daniel got caught shoplifting which sparked an argument with his father. After suggesting he go back to his mother's early, Daniel was told to just leave and went missing. As Eric Matthews uncovered Jigsaw's lair, he discovered that his son had been taken prisoner and placed in a house full of nerve gas, along with seven other people. The seven others were all arrested at one point or another by Eric, but only after having evidence planted against them by the detective. He assisted Laura in getting from room to room, and spoke with Amanda about how to survive as well as helping her get out of a pit of syringes. After heading off with the three females, Daniel realized that his father had set up the others in the house. After Laura died, Addison and Amanda turned their backs on Daniel, knowing he was the corrupt detective's son, despite his protests that he didn't know. At that point, Xavier started his rampage through the house looking for the numbers on the back of everyone's neck which provided the combination to a safe which had an antidote inside (Daniel's number was never revealed, however). Amanda, seeing that Jonas had been murdered, turned back and grabbed Daniel to help him. She led him into the foundation of the house, while Xavier followed close behind. As Daniel weakened, Amanda helped him to keep moving, eventually ending up in the bathroom trap from the ]. Daniel appeared to pass out on the floor, leading Amanda to believe he had succumbed to the nerve gas. However, he sprung to life when Xavier reached for him, killing him by slicing his neck with a hacksaw, in the process saving himself and Amanda. After surviving for so long in the Nerve Gas House, he was administered an antidote by Amanda. She brought him to Jigsaw's lair to be locked in a safe with an oxygen pump, as part of Eric's test. The safe later opened up, revealing to Detective Allison Kerry and the rest of the SWAT team that he was alive. Daniel appeared briefly in Saw V lying unconscious when Jigsaw and Mark Hoffman were setting up the house trap. According to the ''Saw II'' website, Daniel was written to be 17 years old.<ref name=OfficialSawII/>

	Lyriq Bent has remarked that: "I didn't know what to expect of his character in the fourth movie. Lieutenant Rigg has really come into himself. In ''Saw II'', he was really the strong, silent type that really didn't know what was going on around him. You had a sense that there was something going on with him internally, and I think that sparked a lot of curiosity in the audience. They wanted to know, 'Who is this guy, and what's he all about?' In ''Saw IV'', you get to find out who he is, and what he's all about, and how he feels about the situation that he's in, and how he feels about the type of work that he's in and people and all that. And I think he's a character that people are gonna like, because they can relate to him on so many different levels. He's a real person. In ''Saw IV'', you get to go on a journey with him, and it's pretty much an emotional journey. At the end, I only hope that the audience will be as exhausted and worn out as he is, because he becomes this broken man."<ref name=411Mania></ref>
	It is revealed in ''Saw V'' in a Police Officer memorial service that his first name is Daniel.

			Adam Stanheight is a freelance photographer who was hired by the discharged detective David Tapp to follow Dr. Lawrence Gordon, an ] whom Tapp suspected of being the Jigsaw Killer. Adam is kidnapped by Jigsaw's apprentice, Amanda Young and placed in a game alongside Dr. Gordon. Adam was targeted by Jigsaw because of his spy work, whereas Dr. Gordon was targeted for his cold and uncaring nature, as well as for cheating on his wife. The two men are chained to pipes on opposite sides of a large dilapidated industrial bathroom, with an apparent corpse (holding a tape recorder and a revolver) in the middle, and are given instructions via cassette tape. Adam's tape urges him to survive, while Dr. Gordon's instructs him to kill Adam by six o'clock. Adam discovers a bag containing two hacksaws, which they unsuccessfully attempt to use on their chains; Adam's saw breaks, causing him to become enraged and hurl the broken saw at a mirror. Dr. Gordon deduces that the saws are actually intended for their feet, and subsequently realises that they were kidnapped by Jigsaw, whom he knows about because he was once a suspect in the case. At six o'clock, desperate to save his family, Dr. Gordon saws off his own foot, much to Adam's horror, and shoots Adam with the apparent corpse's revolver, despite Adam pleading for his life. Adam survives the gunshot, but plays dead. Zep Hindle, an orderly from Dr. Gordon's hospital, opens the door to the bathroom. As he is about to kill Dr. Gordon, Adam rises and bludgeons Zep to death with a toilet tank lid, believing him to be Jigsaw and therefore responsible for their abduction. Dr. Gordon crawls away to get help, promising to return to Adam. While searching Zep's body for a key, Adam finds a tape recorder that reveals that Zep was also a victim in the game, and was following instructions from Jigsaw in order to obtain an antidote for a slow-acting poison in his bloodstream. As the tape ends, the apparent corpse gets up and is revealed to be John Kramer, the actual Jigsaw. When Adam tries to shoot him, Jigsaw incapacitates him with an electric shock and seals the bathroom door, telling Adam "Game over" and leaving him to die. In ''Saw II'', Adam's corpse is seen (along with that of Zep), revealing that he died some time after the events of ''Saw''. In ''Saw III'', it is revealed that Amanda asphyxiated him with a plastic bag in a mercy killing.
	David Tapp appeared in ''Saw'' as a detective who was assigned to investigate some of the early Jigsaw-related crime scenes, along with his partner Steven Sing. A ] left at one scene led him to suspect Dr. Lawrence Gordon as the perpetrator. After studying one of the tapes left by Jigsaw for one of his victims, he found a clue as to the whereabouts of Jigsaw's hideout, and he and Sing rushed over there at night to arrest him. However, when they arrived there, they found a man named Jeff strapped to a chair with two power drills aimed at his head. When Jigsaw arrived, Tapp began to arrest him; however, Jigsaw activated the drills, forcing Tapp to choose between arresting Jigsaw or saving Jeff's life. Tapp chose to arrest Jigsaw while Sing saved Jeff. Jigsaw slashed Tapp's throat. Sing managed to stop the drills from killing Jeff, then pursued Jigsaw throughout the warehouse before being killed by a booby trap.
			Adam's name is seen in ''Saw V'', as Special Agent Peter Strahm browses through FBI documents of potential Jigsaw victims. His name was listed as 'Adam Stanheight'. Adam also appears in ] in ''Saw VI'' and ''Saw 3D''.
	Tapp survived the neck slash with only a scar on his neck and a noticeable change in his vocal pattern, but was discharged from the force after becoming obsessed with the case. He hired Adam Faulkner to take pictures of Dr. Gordon, whom he still suspected was Jigsaw. Tapp eventually noticed Zep Hindle waiting in Dr. Gordon's house, and at the sound of gunfire, he rushed over and confronted Zep, saving Lawrence's wife and daughter. Zep fled to the sewers, intent on killing Dr. Gordon. After Tapp chased him down, the two fought hand to hand, ending in Tapp's death when Zep shot him in the stomach, killing him.
			Adam's decomposing corpse is seen in ''Saw II'', ''Saw III'', ''Saw 3D'' and the ] of ''Saw X''. In ''Saw II: Flesh & Blood'', Adam is mentioned in Tapp's files and audio tapes as having been hired by one of Tapp's colleagues to prove his wife was having an affair, implying this was why Tapp hired him.
	Tapp was given a memorial in ''Saw V'', along with Lieutenant Daniel Rigg and Detectives Eric Matthews, Allison Kerry, and Steven Sing. He was also briefly seen in a flashback, questioning Dr. Gordon about the penlight (actually planted by Hoffman).

			Alison and Diana Gordon are the wife and daughter of Dr. Lawrence Gordon. They are held ] by Zep Hindle as a part of Dr. Gordon's test; one of Jigsaw's reasons for testing Dr. Gordon was because Dr. Gordon had cheated on his wife, as well as being cold and uncaring towards his daughter. Dr. Gordon is ordered to kill Adam, who is chained up in the bathroom with him, by six o'clock, or else Alison and Diana will be killed. When Dr. Gordon fails to do so, Zep attempts to kill both Alison and Diana, but they are rescued by Detective David Tapp. The DVD commentary for ''Saw 3D'' reveals Alison divorced Dr. Gordon because of his unstable mindset.
	Eric Matthews was a detective who led a SWAT team to Jigsaw's latest lair in '']'', along with his ex-partner Allison Kerry. Eric soon found that his son had been kidnapped by Jigsaw. Matthews was forced to play a game of his own, based on his aggression as a cop who planted evidence and framed many people for crimes they may not have committed. His failure to follow the rules resulted in him being chained to some pipes in an underground bathroom; Amanda Young, one of the people he had framed, turned out to be his captor. However, in ''Saw III'' he broke his foot to slip out of the shackle and confronted Amanda. The two fought each other before Amanda kicked him in the ankle and left him for dead.

	Matthews returned in ''Saw IV'', placed in another trap as the final stage of Daniel Rigg's interconnected tests. Shortly after the fight with Amanda, he was dragged away to a cell and kept there for six months, during which time he was fitted with an iron brace for his shattered foot. He was killed when Rigg crossed through a trap door, triggering two blocks of ice to crush Matthews' head. A flashback of his death is seen in ''Saw V''.

			Allison Kerry is a highly experienced detective with specialized knowledge of the Jigsaw case. She has a deep understanding of his methods and motivations, making her an invaluable asset to the investigation. She first appears in ''Saw'', working alongside Detectives David Tapp and Steven Sing. In ''Saw II'', she works with Detective Eric Matthews and Officer Daniel Rigg in order to try to save Eric's son Daniel. In ''Saw III'', after Eric disappears and is presumed dead, Kerry becomes wracked with guilt. She and Detective Mark Hoffman are called to the scene of an inescapable trap, and Kerry is the first to suspect that someone else was responsible, as the trap didn't follow Jigsaw's M.O. She is later captured and placed in her own trap, but even though she follows the rules, the trap (which was built and rigged by Amanda Young) tears her ] apart, killing her. Her corpse is later discovered by Officer Rigg and the FBI. It is revealed in ''Saw IV'' that Kerry's first name is Allison, as seen on a file observed by Officer Rigg.{{Better source needed|date=February 2023}} In ''Saw V'', a police memorial service is held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Kerry is among the officers honored.

	]Jeff was one of Jigsaw's victims in '']'' due to his obsession with vengeance against those that were involved in the death of his son Dylan and the trial of the killer. Jeff was kidnapped and subjected to a series of encounters with those he held accountable for the incident, faced with the choice of helping them to live or allowing them to die in their individual traps. Jeff's final test was a confrontation with Jigsaw himself to prove he had learned how to forgive. Jeff said "I forgive you" but then sliced Jigsaw's throat with a powersaw. Jigsaw's final message was for Jeff to undergo another test, but he was killed by Agent Strahm in ''Saw IV'' before he was able to do so. His death is seen again in ''Saw V'', immediately before Strahm found a hidden door leading out of Jigsaw's operating room.

			In ''Saw'', Amanda Young is introduced as a heroin addict, and the first person to survive one of Jigsaw's "games" (notably, the only known survivor at the time of ''Saw''), who ultimately believes that John helped her. She was placed in a "reverse bear trap" that was hooked into her jaws and was set to wrench her jaws apart with great force once the timer reached zero. She was forced to kill and disembowel a man to obtain a key to unlock the device. It is revealed in ''Saw II'' that after her test John recruited her as his apprentice; Amanda was intended to carry out John's legacy. In ''Saw III'', however, it is revealed that Amanda has become disillusioned with his ] and starts designing inescapable traps, believing that the trap victims are incapable of change. Unwilling to let a murderer continue his legacy, John designs a test in which Amanda must prove that she has what it takes to carry on with it, but she ultimately fails when she shoots Lynn Denlon, and Lynn's husband Jeff Denlon retaliates by shooting Amanda. Amanda's corpse is seen in ''Saw IV'' and ''Saw V'', and she appears in flashbacks in ''Saw V'', ''Saw VI'', and ''Saw 3D''. In ''Saw VI'' it is revealed that Mark Hoffman blackmailed Amanda into killing Lynn, using the knowledge that she had a role in Jill Tuck's miscarriage.
	When asked whether he liked his character even though he hesitated in saving people, Angus Macfadyen said, "Yeah, well, I think it's kind of set up in the film that even though you think he could save them, even when he tries to, it's set-up so it all seems a little too late. That was something we were discussing was how long do you wait and pause? Because if you've done that in one room, you know you can't do that in the next because otherwise it's going to be too late for that person. So we were having lots of debates. And also because each scene, you can't play them all the same. You've got to build in each one. So did I like him? I don't think he liked himself very much."<ref name=IGNAngus></ref>

			Billy is a ] created by John Kramer to communicate with his victims. Billy usually appears on a TV screen when talking to victims, but sometimes appears in person, often riding a tricycle. Billy gives the victims instructions on how to escape their traps before the time expires. Billy has also appeared in every adaptation of ''Saw'', becoming an icon of the series. It is revealed in ''Saw IV'' that Billy was based on an earlier puppet originally created for John and Jill Tuck's unborn son Gideon, and that John's unresolved anger after Jill suffered a miscarriage after a drug addict slammed a door into her led to John using a more sinister version of the puppet to communicate with his test subjects.
	A special feature in the form of a farce documentary called "Piecing Together Jigsaw," available on the unrated edition of the first film, stated that his whereabouts are unknown as of one year after the first film's events.

			David Tapp is a detective assigned to investigate the earlier Jigsaw crimes. Evidence leads him to suspect that Dr. Lawrence Gordon is the Jigsaw Killer. Tapp and his partner Steven Sing later find Jigsaw's warehouse, but before they can apprehend him, he activates a trap, which threatens the life of Jeff Ridenhour. Sing rushes to help the victim while Tapp attempts to arrest Jigsaw, but Jigsaw slashes Tapp's throat with a concealed blade and flees. When Sing pursues Jigsaw, he is killed by a shotgun booby trap for which Tapp blames himself. Tapp is subsequently discharged from the force, but continues to obsess over finding Jigsaw.
	When Leigh Whannell asked Cary Elwes what he thought about his character's fate on the commentary for the ''Saw: Uncut'' Edition DVD, Elwes responded with, "Let's face it, guys. He's severed his whole leg off. The loss of blood alone, even with that pathetic tourniquet he made with his shirt. It's a wrap. He's not going to get two blocks." Also, Darren Lynn Bousman has said on the DVD commentaries for ''Saw IV'' that his intent was to leave Dr. Gordon's fate an unanswered question and let fans make up their own minds.
			Tapp monitors the Gordons' residence, still convinced that Dr. Gordon is Jigsaw, and rushes over after hearing gunshots. There he finds Alison and Diana Gordon being held captive by Zep Hindle. Zep flees and is pursued by Tapp; the chase leads to an underground room where Tapp is shot after a brief struggle and left for dead. In ''Saw: The Video Game'', it is shown that Tapp was nursed back to health by Jigsaw and placed in a series of traps in an asylum, forced to overcome tests and other victims sent to kill him. In the game's "Freedom" ending, Tapp manages to escape from the asylum, but is unable to overcome his obsession with Jigsaw and ultimately commits suicide some time afterwards.

He is bound to a chair with two drills aimed at his neck. Jigsaw activates the trap, and the drills slowly move towards Jeff's neck. Jigsaw tells Detective Steven Sing that the key to free him is in a box with dozens of others. Without enough time to try all the keys, Sing shoots the drills to stop them.
	Mallick was one of the five victims in the most prominent game in '']''. Charles noticed burn marks on his arms and asked if he had been playing with fire again. Ignoring both the others and the warning from Jigsaw, he rushed to get the key to let himself out of the neck trap; this action set off a one-minute countdown until everyone still wearing a collar would be decapitated. He made it out of the room. In the second room, he quickly tried to find a key to a safe area. However, Charles attacked him, knocking him to the floor, and took a key from him. Luba then knocked Charles over the head with one of the sticks used to break the jars, then gave the key back to Mallick so he could survive the impending explosion in that room. In the next room, Luba knocked Mallick into the tub in order to use his body as the electrical conductor to open a door. However, Brit fatally stabbed Luba in the neck, and she and Mallick completed the lock circuits using her corpse. Once all the cables were connected, the electrical current was enough to trigger the door to open where their final test would be held.
			Jeff later appears in ''Saw: The Video Game''. He is shown to have become suicidal due to trauma. As such, Jigsaw kidnaps Jeff once again and places him in a trap that would impale him with spikes. Detective Tapp manages to free him, but an injured Jeff runs away and leaves Tapp behind. During the events of ''Saw II: Flesh & Blood'', it is revealed that two days after Jeff escaped from the asylum, he committed suicide.
	In the final room, Brit and Mallick realized that all five people involved in the game were connected through an incident in which he burned down a supposedly abandoned building. He discovered after the fact that there were eight people inside at the time, and the deception upset him greatly. Brit then made the discovery that the players were supposed to work together, not kill each other, as the final trap required the players to fill a beaker with ten pints of blood in order to unlock the final door and escape. Brit and Mallick put their arms into a machine fitted with circular saws and filled the beaker; Mallick, his arm having been sliced in half by the circular saw, then passed out from blood loss as Brit crawled out of the room.

			John Kramer was a successful civil engineer and toymaker. He was married to Jill Tuck, who was expecting a son, to be named Gideon. Following the ] of his son caused by Cecil Adams and Amanda Young, John became distraught and later learned he had an aggressive inoperable ]. He attempted ] but ultimately survived, finding a new appreciation for life. Using his wealth and skill, John began testing others' will to live by placing them in deadly traps, which he referred to as "games" or "tests", hoping to give those who survived a new appreciation for their lives. He frequently communicated with his test subjects using a ] that he created based on an earlier puppet that he had intended to give to his unborn son. He would cut the shape of a puzzle piece from the remains of those who failed, to represent they were missing "the survival instinct", leading to him being nicknamed "The Jigsaw Killer", or simply "Jigsaw", by the media (a nickname that John himself disapproved of). Although John dies after his throat is slashed by Jeff Denlon in ''Saw III'', he appears in flashbacks throughout the series.
	Peter Strahm was first seen along with Agent Lindsey Perez on the crime scene investigation of Allison Kerry's murder. He figured out quickly that there had to be a second apprentice of ], since ] was too light to lift Kerry into the trap and Jigsaw's cancer had left him too weak to do it. Strahm and Perez had received a message from Detective Kerry before she was killed, in which a key was supplied to them with the words, "Open the door and you'll find me." Perez and Strahm had also been told that two officers might be in danger. Along with Perez, Strahm followed Lieutenant Daniel Rigg's trail of games, believing that Jigsaw might be trying to recruit Rigg. He ripped a camera out of the wall at one scene after deducing that he and Perez were the two officers in danger. Strahm also questioned Jigsaw's ex-wife, Jill Tuck, about how and why her former husband became the Jigsaw Killer. After becoming more aggravated with Jill, he realized the location of Rigg's final test was in fact the Gideon meat-packing plant. Learning the location of the plant from Jill, Strahm raced over to the plant and called for back-up before entering. By the time of the final test he was nearly behind Rigg as he continued to move through a meat-packing plant. Instead of following Rigg, however, Strahm stumbled into the path of Jeff Reinhart's game from '']''.

	When Strahm got to the end of his path he found a heavy steel door. Opening it, he found Jeff Reinhart, who had just killed Jigsaw and Amanda Young. Strahm demanded to see Jeff's hands, but in blind rage of finding out his daughter was in danger of dying, Jeff attempted to attack Strahm, believing him to be in an alliance with Jigsaw. Strahm quickly killed Jeff with two gun shots to the chest. Before Strahm could do anything else, Jigsaw's actual apprentice, Detective Mark Hoffman shut and locked the steel door, sealing Strahm inside the medical room along with the corpses of Jigsaw, Amanda Young, Jeff and Lynn Denlon.

			Lawrence Gordon is a physician who diagnosed John Kramer's terminal cancer and was initially a suspect in the Jigsaw murder case (after a penlight found at the scene of one of Jigsaw's games was linked to him). John targets Lawrence for being cold and uncaring towards his patients and his family, and for cheating on his wife with Carla Song, a medical student. Lawrence is abducted and placed in a trap where he is chained up in a dilapidated bathroom alongside Adam Stanheight. He is told that he must kill Adam before six o'clock; if he does not do so, his wife Alison and daughter Diana will be killed, and he will be left to die in the bathroom. He fails to kill Adam, but ] his own foot using a hacksaw that Adam found to free himself from his shackle, and crawls away to get help, promising Adam he will bring someone back (although Adam is subsequently revealed to be dead in ''Saw II'').

At the start of the film, he found a secret door leading out of the operating room where Jigsaw, Lynn, Amanda, and Jeff were killed, revealed by glow-in-the-dark paint. Beyond this door was a passage, with a microcassette recording that warned Strahm not to proceed down the hallway, but Strahm disregarded the message and moved onward. An unknown person, whose face is hidden by a pig mask, captured him and placed him in the Head Box trap, with the intent to drown him by filling it with water. Strahm gave himself an emergency ] with a pen in order to sustain his breathing and ultimately survived the trap, much to Hoffman's surprise.
			Lawrence's decaying severed foot is shown in ''Saw II'', ''Saw III'' and ''Saw 3D''. His fate is unknown until ''Saw 3D'', when it is revealed that Lawrence survived his test by using a hot steam pipe to ] his ankle stump, before passing out shortly afterwards. John found Lawrence in the corridor and congratulated him for surviving. He then helped Lawrence recover, and gave him a prosthetic foot.
	Recovering in the hospital, Strahm began to track down Hoffman after hearing that Perez's last word was "Hoffman". He became obsessed with the case, wanting to interrogate Jill Tuck one more time and taking files on the victims from the FBI office. Once Hoffman realized that Strahm was zeroing in on him, he set Strahm up to appear to be the accomplice by strategically planting evidence. Strahm's investigation ultimately led him to a small underground room in Hoffman's house containing a glass box filled with broken pieces of glass. Inside was a microcassette from Hoffman, telling Strahm to trust him and get into the box if he wanted to survive. Strahm ignored the tape and attacked Hoffman when he entered the room, eventually shoving him into the box and closing it. Soon after Hoffman told him to play the rest of the tape and it tells Strahm that he will simply vanish if he doesn't trust him. Soon after this the door to the room closed and locked then the walls came together like a trash compactor and crushed him as his blood covered the glass box, which had been safely lowered into the floor.
			John recruited Lawrence as an apprentice afterwards, and Lawrence used his medical skills to prepare a variety of traps for John, such as putting the key in Michael Marks' eye in the Venus flytrap (''Saw II''), as well as sewing Art Blank's mouth and Trevor's eyes shut for the mausoleum trap (''Saw IV''). He also selected Lynn Denlon as John's surgeon (''Saw III'') and wrote an anonymous message to Detective Mark Hoffman (''Saw V'') stating "I know who you are". Following John's death, his ex-wife Jill Tuck delivered a package to Lawrence that had been left to her in John's will; it contained a videotape with instructions from John to watch over Jill and act immediately if anything was to happen to her. When Hoffman kills Jill and attempts to flee the city, he is ambushed by three people in pig masks, one of whom is revealed to be Lawrence. After chaining Hoffman by the ankle to the pipes in the bathroom, Lawrence picks up the hacksaw he had used to sever his own foot and throws it into the corridor. He then turns off the lights and leaves, telling Hoffman "Game over", before closing the door and leaving Hoffman to die in the bathroom, with no means of escape.

Unbeknownst to her, Addison had a number written on the back of her neck, as did the others. The numbers were color-coded, and when put in proper order, would give the combination to a safe that held an antidote. The number on Addison's neck was a blue 9. As she screamed for help in the glass box, Xavier, another prisoner in the house, came to read the number that had been written on the back of her neck before leaving her to bleed to death. It was revealed in the commentary for the second film that there was a key already in the lock at the back of the box, and all she had to do in order to live was to turn it and grab the antidote by safer means. According to the ''Saw II'' website, Addison was written to be 29 years old. <ref name=OfficialSawII></ref>

Before Kerry was killed in a trap, she had told Perez and Strahm that two officers might be in danger. A last note from Kerry, delivered with a key, read, "Open the door and you'll find me". Perez, along with Strahm, took over the investigation following the discovery of Kerry's corpse, getting information from Detective Mark Hoffman before he and Lieutenant Rigg went missing. Perez and Strahm then followed Daniel Rigg's trail of tests. At one point, Perez and Strahm found two folders that said, "OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU'LL FIND ME," and, "YOU'RE IN DANGER OF GETTING TOO CLOSE... STEP BACK" at which point Strahm realized that he and Perez were the two officers in danger, as Kerry had warned. At one of the later crime scenes, Perez was almost hit by a misfired spear.

Jigsaw arrived and activated the device, telling Sing that the key to stop the drills was on a ring, along with dozens of other keys. Sing shot the drills and deactivated them before pursuing Jigsaw through the warehouse after Jigsaw had slashed Tapp's throat. While chasing down a hallway, Sing accidentally stepped across a tripwire, hidden among cobwebs, which triggered four shotguns hidden above to fire down at him, killing him as Jigsaw escaped. Sing's death was the cause of Tapp's obsession to hunt down and find Jigsaw.

	===Xavier Chavez===
	*Xavier Chavez was portrayed by ].
			===Obi===
	Xavier appeared in '']'' as a prisoner in a house full of nerve gas along with seven other people. He was a ] ] who was framed by ]. Apart from a few logical moves, Xavier was mostly seen using his brawn over his brains. After waking up in the house, Xavier's anger and controlling nature caused him to snap at everyone to stop complaining and do something. He unknowingly caused Gus' death by turning the key which triggered a gun to shoot through the door. Once the door opened, Xavier made it clear he was looking out for himself, but despite being a self-confessed loner, he stuck with the group. He threatened Obi with a knife to make sure he went into a furnace to retrieve two antidotes, and later threw Amanda into a pit of needles that was part of his own game because he didn't want to go in himself. Amanda found the key in the pit that was needed to open a safe to get an antidote, but Xavier fumbled with the key and failed to open the door in time. Blaming everyone else, he finally ditched the group and stumbled back to a safe in the room he had woken up in. Remembering the instructions given to the eight people in the house, he noticed a number on the back of Gus's neck and realized that the numbers that had been written on everyone's neck would give him the combination to the safe (the safe contained an antidote). Xavier formed a plan, and when trying to get Jonas' number, ended up killing him with a nail-studded bat. He then continued to read the numbers on everyone's neck, in the process finding out that Daniel was Detective Matthews' son. He started hunting down Daniel and Amanda until he heard Addison's cries for help. He then read her number and left her to bleed to death in the razor box trap. He continued his chase, stumbling after Amanda and Daniel in an angry and desperate rage. After cornering the two of them in the bathroom, he realized he'd have nobody to read his own number, and used his knife to cut off the skin off the back of his neck. After doing so, a brief glimpse revealed the number to be an indigo 25. Once that was done, he reached forwards for Daniel, who jumped to life and sliced Xavier's throat with a hacksaw, killing him. Xavier's corpse was seen for a brief moment at the beginning of ''Saw III'', still lying in the bathroom. Xavier also appeared briefly in Saw V lying unconcious when Jigsaw and Hoffman are setting up the house trap. According to the ''Saw II'' website, Xavier was written to be 40 years old.<ref name=OfficialSawII/> It was shown in ''Saw V'' that his family name was Chavez, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Strahm.

			Obi is an arsonist, and a victim of the nerve gas house. He remains isolated from the rest of the group until they come across a trap intended for him. A tape recorder reveals that Obi aided Jigsaw in kidnapping the other victims, and Obi is instructed to retrieve two antidote syringes from a furnace, keeping one for himself and giving the other away. When he attempts to retrieve the syringes, he inadvertently triggers a trap that seals and ignites the furnace, burning him alive. A clue given on Obi's tape indicates that he can save himself by closing a valve with a picture of a devil next to it, but will burn himself in the process.
	===Zep Hindle===
	*Zep Hindle was portrayed by ].
			In a flashback in ''Saw V'', his unconscious body is shown being dragged into the nerve gas house by Mark Hoffman. His mugshot appears on the precinct wall in Spiral. Obi appears in ''Saw: The Video Game'' where he is rescued from another furnace by David Tapp. In ''Saw: The Video Game'' it is revealed that Obi desires to be tested by Jigsaw repeatedly, thinking of it as a "gift".
	Zep was an orderly who worked in the hospital where John Kramer, the Jigsaw Killer, was treated for his cancer. He formed a sort of bond with John while he was being treated, but was considered to have "issues of his own" by him. John seemed to see a lot of his own actions in Zep's goals, reminding him of himself before he was diagnosed with cancer.<ref name=SawRebirth>]</ref> Zep would later be forced to watch Adam Faulkner and Dr. Gordon play out their game that took place in a bathroom. If Lawrence failed to kill Adam by 6 o'clock, then Zep would be forced to kill Lawrence's wife and child, whom he had been holding hostage, in order to save himself from the slow-acting nerve agent in his bloodstream. He would then have to kill Lawrence himself and presumably retrieve an antidote from Jigsaw. Lawrence failed, but his wife and daughter managed to escape from Zep's grip before he could kill them, as Zep was attacked by David Tapp, a former detective who was watching the Gordons' home from across the street. Zep was forced to flee down to the sewers to kill Lawrence, but Tapp followed him, which resulted in a small fight. Zep managed to shoot Tapp in the stomach and continue to the bathroom, where he found Adam and Lawrence. Lawrence shot Adam, and tried to shoot Zep, but didn't have enough bullets. As Zep was about to kill Lawrence, Adam pulled his leg out from under him and attacked him with a toilet cover, bludgeoning him to death with it. Throughout most of the movie Zep is presented as a ], with the audience being encouraged to believe that he was Jigsaw, rather than a victim of one of Jigsaw's games. Although he was forced to observe Adam and Lawrence, as well as hold Lawrence's wife and child hostage, he seemed to enjoy it. He waved at Adam and Lawrence through a monitor quite sinisterly in one scene, and frightened his captives in another, holding a gun to Diana's head and using a stethoscope to listen to her heart at the same time. On the commentary for ''Saw'', Leigh Whannell and James Wan stated that they wrote this as to show that Zep enjoyed the sense of power he was given over others that he did not have before. Zep's decomposed corpse was later seen in ''Saw II'' and ''Saw III''.

After the raid on Wilson Steel, Pete recovers from his injuries and returns in ''Saw III'' at the scene of a Jigsaw trap. Pete is then seen in ''Saw IV'', at the scene of Alison Kerry's death.
	Ashley is a test subject in the game in ''Saw V'' which involved five participants. In the first room she was the first to wake up, and warned the others not to move. Early in the movie it is revealed that she was a fire inspector. When a trap is sprung, Ashley is held against the wall due to the rest of the group struggling to get their keys. She was decapitated due to everyone else trying to save themselves.

			Xavier is a drug dealer and a victim of the nerve gas house. Like the other victims, Xavier had served time in prison after being framed by Detective Eric Matthews. Xavier is instructed to search for antidote syringes hidden around the house. The group finds a test intended for him, in which a key is hidden in a pit of hypodermic syringes, but he throws Amanda Young into the pit instead. He fails to unlock a door containing the antidote in time, and frustrated by their lack of success, abandons the others. Recalling hints left by Jigsaw on a tape recorder, Xavier realizes that each victim has a number written on the back of their neck that, when combined, will open a safe containing the antidote. Xavier begins hunting down the other victims to collect their numbers before realizing that one of the victims, Daniel, is Eric's son. He corners Daniel and Amanda in the bathroom from ''Saw'', where, after discovering that the mirror is unusable, he cuts the skin out of the back of his neck to see his number. He then charges at Daniel and Amanda, but Daniel slashes Xavier's throat with the same hacksaw that Lawrence Gordon had used to saw off his foot in the previous film.

However, that game never materializes since he is shot dead by Agent Peter Strahm in ''Saw IV'', shortly after learning about Corbett's kidnapping. During ''Saw IV'', Mark Hoffman is seen holding one of Corbett's stuffed animals when he talks to Agent Lindsey Perez. Corbett has a brief appearance in ''Saw V'' where she is seen with the stuffed animal being carried out of the warehouse and given to a police officer by Hoffman.

			Dylan Denlon is Jeff and Lynn Denlon's deceased son. He was killed when he was knocked off of his bicycle by a drunk driver, Timothy Young. Since Timothy received a very light sentence for causing Dylan's death, Jeff became vengeful, which is why he is tested in ''Saw III''. Jeff is even forced to destroy all of Dylan's possessions (which he had kept in Dylan's room) in order to obtain a key for one of the traps. Jeff ultimately forgives Timothy (who is revealed in a flashback to have been genuinely remorseful) for causing the death of his son, having previously forgiven Danica, a witness who fled the scene and later did not come forward, as well as Judge Halden, who had sentenced Timothy.

			Halden is a judge who presided over the case of Timothy Young, the drunk driver who killed Jeff Denlon's son Dylan. Halden is captured and positioned as part of Jeff's test of forgiveness to see if Jeff could overcome his anger at Halden for sentencing Timothy to only six months in prison. He is chained at the neck to the bottom of a large vat that is slowly filled with liquified pig corpses. The key to free him is in an incinerator filled with Dylan's belongings. Halden pleads with Jeff, urging him not to become a killer, and eventually, after revealing to Jeff that he has a son of his own, Jeff, after trying and failing to open the door of the incinerator, reluctantly burns the items to retrieve the key, and frees Halden in time. Later, while confronting Timothy, Halden once again pleads with Jeff to do something; at one point, the judge attempts to stop the machine to which Timothy is strapped (which Jigsaw calls "the Rack") using brute force. Jeff eventually forgives Timothy, and tries to help him, but when retrieving the key, he triggers a shotgun that discharges into Halden's face, killing him instantly.

Jeff was consumed by vengeance after the death of his son, Dylan, who was knocked off his bike and killed by a drunk driver, Timothy. Three years after his son's death, Jeff is kidnapped and subjected to a series of encounters with those he held accountable for the incident: Danica Scott (a witness who fled the scene and later did not come forward to testify), Judge Halden (the judge who passed a very lenient sentence on Timothy) and ultimately Timothy himself (who is revealed in a flashback to have been genuinely remorseful for killing Dylan). Jeff is faced with the choice of saving them or allowing them to die in their traps; Judge Halden pleads with Jeff not to become a killer himself. In Jeff's final test, he confronts Jigsaw himself to prove he has learned how to forgive. Jeff tells John he forgives him before slicing his throat with a circular saw. Upon doing so, Jeff inadvertently triggers a device that kills his wife, Lynn. Just before he dies, John takes out a tape recorder; the tape reveals that, by killing John, Jeff failed his final test, and must play another game to save his daughter Corbett.

In ''Saw V'', after John's death, Jill visits his lawyer to hear his will, during which she is bequeathed a box containing his last intended test subjects, including one test that Jill must carry out herself. Submitting to John's final wishes, in ''Saw VI'' Jill places Mark Hoffman in a seemingly inescapable trap, intending to kill him.
			After Hoffman escapes the trap, in ''Saw 3D'' Jill flees to his precinct station and asks for help from Detective Matt Gibson in Internal Affairs, offering to incriminate Hoffman in exchange for immunity and protection. While Jill is in protective custody, Hoffman infiltrates the police station and kills her with the reverse bear trap previously used on Amanda Young. As Hoffman destroys his workshop, a news report on the radio is overheard reporting that Jill has been found dead. Jill's death is subsequently avenged by Dr. Lawrence Gordon, who was instructed in a tape left for him by John to watch over Jill, and to act immediately on John's behalf if anything happened to her.

			Mark Hoffman is briefly introduced in ''Saw III'' as a detective investigating the scene of Troy's inescapable trap. In ''Saw IV'', he is placed in a trap as a part of Officer Daniel Rigg's test. However, he is later revealed to be John Kramer's accomplice after he frees himself and leaves Rigg to die. ''Saw V'' reveals that Hoffman's sister was murdered by her abusive boyfriend Seth Baxter, and that after Seth was released early from prison, Hoffman took revenge by placing him in an inescapable trap made to look like one of John's; Seth was killed despite doing as he was instructed. John found out about the trap and, in addition to criticising Hoffman's trap as being inferior, blackmailed Hoffman into working for him, but Hoffman eventually became a willing apprentice and aided him in nearly every subsequent trap, despite not genuinely believing in Jigsaw's philosophy (even remarking about how much he wanted Timothy Young to suffer when reprimanded by John for failing to treat Timothy as a human being).
			When Agent Peter Strahm closes in on him, Hoffman kills and frames him. In ''Saw VI'', he kills two FBI agents and a technician who threaten to expose his secret. Jill Tuck attempts to kill him with an updated reverse bear trap, as per John's request, although he manages to escape wounded. In ''Saw 3D'', he sneaks into the police station, kills everyone standing between him and Jill, then kills her with the original reverse bear trap John had used on Amanda Young. After killing Jill, Hoffman; who is now wanted by the authorities for the murders of Jill and several police employees, destroys his warehouse and attempts to leave town.

A flashback reveals that Timothy was genuinely remorseful for causing Dylan's death.
			In ''Saw III'', Timothy is kidnapped and placed in a device called "The Rack", which begins to rotate, twisting and breaking each of his limbs one-by-one. Jeff, despite Judge Halden (who had sentenced Timothy for causing Dylan's death) pleading with him to do something (and even trying to stop the device using brute force), is initially content with watching Timothy die, but ultimately forgives him and decides to help him. However, Jeff is too late and the device twists Timothy's head, fatally breaking his neck before Jeff can unlock the device. Judge Halden is also killed in the course of Jeff's failed attempt to save Timothy, after Jeff discharges a loaded shotgun into Halden's face while retrieving a key that has been tied to the trigger.

Informed by Detective Allison Kerry that two officers might be in danger, she and Strahm investigate the disappearances of Daniel Rigg and Mark Hoffman. As they follow the trail of Rigg's tests, it becomes apparent that they themselves are being targeted by Jigsaw. Perez barely escapes death when Strahm pulls her out of the firing path of a harpoon (which in turn hit a crime scene photographer). Minutes later, they enter a room where they are confronted with a Billy doll and a tape meant for Perez. As she leans in to hear the tape, the Billy doll's face explodes sending shrapnel into her face and neck. In ''Saw V'', it is implied that Perez died from her injuries; her last words to Strahm were "Detective Hoffman", leading to Strahm's initial suspicion regarding Hoffman.
			Perez is revealed to be alive in ''Saw VI'', with prominent facial scars, and is back on the Jigsaw case. Dismissive of Strahm being Jigsaw's accomplice, she and Agent Dan Erickson investigate abnormalities in each crime scene that implicates Strahm, including a distorted tape made by Hoffman.

			Peter Strahm is an FBI agent assigned to the Jigsaw case. He and his partner, Agent Lindsey Perez, arrive at the scene of Allison Kerry's death shortly after the police find her body. He is the first to theorize that Jigsaw may have had more than one accomplice. He interrogates Jill Tuck gaining information on Jigsaw's background, while pursuing Daniel Rigg. His investigation leads him to the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, where he discovers the corpses of Jigsaw, Amanda Young, and Lynn Denlon, in the makeshift sickroom. Strahm kills Jeff Denlon in self-defense before Mark Hoffman locks him in. Early in ''Saw V'', Strahm finds a hidden exit, but is captured and placed in a trap (a glass cube around his head that fills with water) meant to kill him. He survives by removing a pen from his shirt pocket and using the plastic tube to perform a makeshift ] on himself. Subsequently, his boss, Agent Dan Erickson, removes him from the case. Strahm conducts his own investigation, now suspicious of Hoffman. He is eventually crushed to death in a trap room when he fails to follow Hoffman's instructions, and Hoffman plants his cell phone at a crime scene to frame him as Jigsaw's second accomplice.
			In ''Saw VI'', Hoffman emerges from the casket below the trap and uses Strahm's severed hand to place his fingerprints at additional crime scenes. As soon as Agents Perez and Erickson unravel the deception, Hoffman murders them and again leaves Strahm's fingerprints at the scene before setting it on fire.

	Gus, listed as being a rash and angry business man, appeared in '']'' as a prisoner in the house full of nerve gas, along with seven other people. Like most of the other prisoners, Gus was framed by ], although what he was framed for was never spoken of. However, the ''Saw II'' commentary suggested that it was for embezzlement. Waking up in the small starting room with the others, he questioned how they just woke up in a room with no recollection of where they were. On the realization that he and the others had been kidnapped, he began to get paranoid. He remembered a movie he saw on TV about a reporter who spent 9 years locked in a cell with no light, wondering if something similar awaited him. He continued to panic before he sided with Xavier in a small argument with Amanda concerning a key, desperate to get out of the room and regain some control over the situation. Gus peered into the peephole of the locked door as Xavier turned the key in the keyhole, which triggered a gun to go off and shot Gus in the eye through the peephole. Unbeknownst to him, Gus had a number written on the back of his neck, as did the others. The numbers were color-coded, and when put in proper order, would give the combination to a safe that held an antidote. The number on Gus' neck was a red 2. Xavier stumbled upon the numbers when he accidentally pulled off the coat covering Gus' corpse while trying to get into the safe. Gus appears again briefly in ''Saw IV'' during a scuffle with Cecil inside the health clinic. Gus briefly appeared in ''Saw V'' in a flashback scene showing Jigsaw and Mark Hoffman setting up the house for his game and the gun that killed him, while he was unconscious. According to the ''Saw II'' website, Gus was written to be 38.<ref name=OfficialSawII/> It was shown in ''Saw V'' that his family name was Colyard, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Strahm.

Judge Halden was found by Jeff, bound at the neck at the bottom of a vat. In an adjacent vat, several circular saws were activated, and a rotating chain began to drop dead pigs into the saws. A chute connecting the two vats poured the liquefied remains onto the judge. Jeff had to burn all of his son's possessions in an incinerator to retrieve the key needed to unlock the chain across Halden's throat. After trying to reason with Jeff, stating that he had a son of his own and that he could attempt to extend the sentence, Halden was saved from drowning in the ground up pig remains. The judge then followed Jeff to one of his last tests, still trying to comfort Jeff and trying to convince him to save Timothy. As Halden tried to find a way to save Timothy, Jeff accidentally set off a shotgun that fired into Halden's head, resulting in his death.

He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder, but was released on a technicality after serving only five years behind bars. Hoffman, enraged by the death of his only family member, kidnaps Seth and puts him in a trap that mimics Jigsaw's methods, but is rigged to be inescapable. Hoffman produces a video tape depicting Billy (the puppet used by Jigsaw to communicate with test subjects) and distorts his voice to make it sound like that of Jigsaw. Seth, who had fatally strangled Angelina, is told that he must put his hands into two presses and push buttons to crush them in order to avoid being killed by a swinging pendulum blade that gradually swings closer and closer to his body, and will cut him in two within sixty seconds. Even though he does so, the pendulum continues to descend and ultimately bisects him as Hoffman watches through a peephole. Jigsaw, who disapproves of outright killing his victims, later abducts Hoffman and, after criticising the pendulum trap as inferior to his work, blackmails Hoffman into becoming his apprentice.
	Jeff first appeared in ''Saw'' as a victim of one of Jigsaw's experimental traps. Jeff was bound to a chair with two drills facing his neck. Once activated, the drills moved towards his neck, and Detective Steven Sing was told that the key to stop them was on a ring filled with dozens of keys.

However, the wall was filled with hundreds of numbers. The floor was covered in glass, and Mark's body was smeared with a flammable substance. The only source of light in the room was a wax candle. Slowly, Mark began to try each combination. However, he fumbled with the candle and ignited the substance covering him, burning him alive. His charred corpse was found by the police some time later. In ''Saw V'' a list was shown of Jigsaw's victims and it indicated that his last name was Wilson, so Rodriguez may have been his middle name.

Jigsaw suggested that Morgan should free herself from her ties with her husband, as they had been harmful both to herself and her daughter. She did so by removing all but one rod, killing her husband in the process. She was found unconscious by Daniel Rigg, who then handed her the key to her locked harness and told her that she had to save herself (an alternate cut also showed Rigg removing the last rod pierced through Morgan before handing her the key).

			Aaron, Dave, Emily, Gena, Josh, and Shelby (collectively referred to as "The Dog Pit" by their boss, William Easton) are six of William's junior associates, who did the investigative work as a team to weed out health insurance applications and claims that can be denied. They are placed at the abandoned Rowan Zoological Institute<ref name="Zoo"/> in the last of William's four tests, and are chained to a ] facing a shotgun that's controlled by the gears of a bicycle. Just as their work resulted in {{frac|2|3}} of all applications being denied or prematurely terminated, William can save only {{frac|1|3}} of the group of six; two of them can be saved by pushing two buttons that will drive a spike through William's hand and divert the shotgun upward, while the other four will die. If he does nothing, all six will be killed. Each argues, trying to win William's favor as he struggles with his decisions. Aaron begs for William to follow the company's policy until he's shot, Emily states her two kids can't grow up without her and lives, Gena claims she is pregnant, and she dies, Dave tries to bribe William and is killed, Shelby pleads for her life to take care of her sick parents and survives, while Josh attempts to appease William by claiming that Shelby is not to be trusted. William ultimately decides to save Emily and Shelby, who are respectively the second and fifth to be stopped on the carousel. Aaron (the first), Gena (the third), Dave (the fourth), and Josh (the sixth and final) are left to die in that order. Josh, seeing that both Emily and Shelby were spared and his fate was sealed, lashed out at William, making his feelings known about the policies in place and demanded William to look at him when he's killing him. The shotgun sets off and ends him.
	Obi first appeared in ''Saw II'' as a prisoner in house full of nerve gas along with seven other people. He was seen quietly lurking in the background while the others argued. It was only when the envelope with his name was found that he finally spoke up. It was revealed in an audio tape addressed to him by Jigsaw that he helped kidnap the others, but he claimed he didn't even know the way out himself. His test would have allowed him to get two antidotes for the poisonous gas being pumped into the house, breathed in by the prisoners. He had to crawl into a furnace and grab the two syringes from the chains inside, one of which was a gift to him for helping to kidnap the other victims and the other for him to donate. Although the tape stated two antidotes were available, two hung along the furnace. While the first one was a legitimate, safe antidote, the second one triggered the door to be closed and the furnace to ignite. The tape he was given said "Remember, Obi, once you are in Hell, only the Devil can help you out." In the furnace there was a knob with a devil sketched over it which if he turned could have stopped the fire but would have most likely burnt his hand. This trap seemed to be ironic as, according to the ''Saw II'' commentary, Obi was an arsonist. He ended up dying as he attempted to crawl through a broken window on the other side of the furnace. Obi did not know that he had a number written on the back of his neck, like the others. The numbers were color-coded, and when put in proper order of colors in a rainbow, as said by Jigsaw on the tape "the clues to their order can be found over the rainbow," it would give the combination to a safe that held an antidote in the first room the seven woke up in. The number on Obi's neck was a green 11. Obi also had a brief appearance in '']'', in which he can be seen in John Kramer's flashback after his brain surgery. He also appeared in ''Saw V'' being dragged into the room where he woke up in for his test in ''Saw II'' by Mark Hoffman, in a flashback sequence. According to the ''Saw II'' website, Obi was written to be 39.<ref name=OfficialSawII/> It was shown in ''Saw V'' that his family name was Tate, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Strahm.

However, in what John would believe to be more of a cry for attention than a suicide attempt, Paul ran a ] across his wrists and was admitted to the Angel of Mercy hospital shortly after John had learned of his cancer. After John's transformation into the serial killer known as Jigsaw, Paul was targeted for his previous actions and was placed in a large cage lined with a maze of razor wire. He had to get to the exit by finding a path through the maze, but he only had 2 hours before the door to the room he was in would close, sealing him in. The irony in the situation was that if he wanted to live, he'd have to cut himself again. If he wanted to die, all he had to do was wait. Paul didn't make it to the exit, and died hanging on the wires. According to Detective Allison Kerry, Paul was 46 years old at the time of his death.

			Ryan is one of the five victims in the barn game. While in high school, his drunken carousing led to a car accident in which two of his friends and the driver of the other car were killed. During the third game, he tries to leave the barn through a door marked "No Exit", but steps on a rigged patch of floor and gets his leg caught in a set of sharpened steel cables that slowly constrict, tearing into his flesh. When Anna and Mitch become trapped in a grain silo under a flood of pouring grain and sharp objects, he must pull a lever to save them and free himself; doing so causes the cables to sever his lower leg. Later, in the fifth game, Ryan and Anna are chained to pipes at opposite sides of a room and given a shotgun loaded with one shell. Anna tries to shoot Ryan, but the gun explodes in her face and kills her, having been rigged to backfire. Ryan discovers that the keys to free both of them had been inside the shotgun shell, but the gun's discharge destroyed them and left him with no way to free himself.

The Saw franchise features a large cast of characters created primarily by directors and screenwriters James Wan, Leigh Whannell, Darren Lynn Bousman, Patrick Melton, and Marcus Dunstan.

The films mainly focus on the character of John Kramer (Tobin Bell), the "Jigsaw Killer," who seeks out those he considers to be wasting their lives and subjects them to torturous and lethal traps, referred to as "tests" and "games," in an attempt to make them appreciate being alive.

Saw

Adam Stanheight

• Portrayed by Leigh Whannell
• Appears in: Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw V (mentioned only), Saw VI, Saw 3D, Saw X, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

Adam Stanheight is a freelance photographer who was hired by the discharged detective David Tapp to follow Dr. Lawrence Gordon, an oncologist whom Tapp suspected of being the Jigsaw Killer. Adam is kidnapped by Jigsaw's apprentice, Amanda Young and placed in a game alongside Dr. Gordon. Adam was targeted by Jigsaw because of his spy work, whereas Dr. Gordon was targeted for his cold and uncaring nature, as well as for cheating on his wife. The two men are chained to pipes on opposite sides of a large dilapidated industrial bathroom, with an apparent corpse (holding a tape recorder and a revolver) in the middle, and are given instructions via cassette tape. Adam's tape urges him to survive, while Dr. Gordon's instructs him to kill Adam by six o'clock. Adam discovers a bag containing two hacksaws, which they unsuccessfully attempt to use on their chains; Adam's saw breaks, causing him to become enraged and hurl the broken saw at a mirror. Dr. Gordon deduces that the saws are actually intended for their feet, and subsequently realises that they were kidnapped by Jigsaw, whom he knows about because he was once a suspect in the case. At six o'clock, desperate to save his family, Dr. Gordon saws off his own foot, much to Adam's horror, and shoots Adam with the apparent corpse's revolver, despite Adam pleading for his life. Adam survives the gunshot, but plays dead. Zep Hindle, an orderly from Dr. Gordon's hospital, opens the door to the bathroom. As he is about to kill Dr. Gordon, Adam rises and bludgeons Zep to death with a toilet tank lid, believing him to be Jigsaw and therefore responsible for their abduction. Dr. Gordon crawls away to get help, promising to return to Adam. While searching Zep's body for a key, Adam finds a tape recorder that reveals that Zep was also a victim in the game, and was following instructions from Jigsaw in order to obtain an antidote for a slow-acting poison in his bloodstream. As the tape ends, the apparent corpse gets up and is revealed to be John Kramer, the actual Jigsaw. When Adam tries to shoot him, Jigsaw incapacitates him with an electric shock and seals the bathroom door, telling Adam "Game over" and leaving him to die. In Saw II, Adam's corpse is seen (along with that of Zep), revealing that he died some time after the events of Saw. In Saw III, it is revealed that Amanda asphyxiated him with a plastic bag in a mercy killing.

Adam's name is seen in Saw V, as Special Agent Peter Strahm browses through FBI documents of potential Jigsaw victims. His name was listed as 'Adam Stanheight'. Adam also appears in archival footage in Saw VI and Saw 3D.

Adam's decomposing corpse is seen in Saw II, Saw III, Saw 3D and the post-credits scene of Saw X. In Saw II: Flesh & Blood, Adam is mentioned in Tapp's files and audio tapes as having been hired by one of Tapp's colleagues to prove his wife was having an affair, implying this was why Tapp hired him.

Alison and Diana Gordon

• Portrayed by Monica Potter and Makenzie Vega
• Appear in: Saw, Saw II (Alison mentioned only)
• Status: Both alive

Alison and Diana Gordon are the wife and daughter of Dr. Lawrence Gordon. They are held hostage by Zep Hindle as a part of Dr. Gordon's test; one of Jigsaw's reasons for testing Dr. Gordon was because Dr. Gordon had cheated on his wife, as well as being cold and uncaring towards his daughter. Dr. Gordon is ordered to kill Adam, who is chained up in the bathroom with him, by six o'clock, or else Alison and Diana will be killed. When Dr. Gordon fails to do so, Zep attempts to kill both Alison and Diana, but they are rescued by Detective David Tapp. The DVD commentary for Saw 3D reveals Alison divorced Dr. Gordon because of his unstable mindset.

Allison Kerry

• Portrayed by Dina Meyer
• Appears in: Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

Allison Kerry is a highly experienced detective with specialized knowledge of the Jigsaw case. She has a deep understanding of his methods and motivations, making her an invaluable asset to the investigation. She first appears in Saw, working alongside Detectives David Tapp and Steven Sing. In Saw II, she works with Detective Eric Matthews and Officer Daniel Rigg in order to try to save Eric's son Daniel. In Saw III, after Eric disappears and is presumed dead, Kerry becomes wracked with guilt. She and Detective Mark Hoffman are called to the scene of an inescapable trap, and Kerry is the first to suspect that someone else was responsible, as the trap didn't follow Jigsaw's M.O. She is later captured and placed in her own trap, but even though she follows the rules, the trap (which was built and rigged by Amanda Young) tears her rib cage apart, killing her. Her corpse is later discovered by Officer Rigg and the FBI. It is revealed in Saw IV that Kerry's first name is Allison, as seen on a file observed by Officer Rigg. In Saw V, a police memorial service is held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Kerry is among the officers honored.

Amanda Young

Main article: Amanda Young

• Portrayed by Shawnee Smith (film) and Jen Taylor (game)
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, Saw X, Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only), Dead by Daylight: The Saw Chapter
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

In Saw, Amanda Young is introduced as a heroin addict, and the first person to survive one of Jigsaw's "games" (notably, the only known survivor at the time of Saw), who ultimately believes that John helped her. She was placed in a "reverse bear trap" that was hooked into her jaws and was set to wrench her jaws apart with great force once the timer reached zero. She was forced to kill and disembowel a man to obtain a key to unlock the device. It is revealed in Saw II that after her test John recruited her as his apprentice; Amanda was intended to carry out John's legacy. In Saw III, however, it is revealed that Amanda has become disillusioned with his philosophy and starts designing inescapable traps, believing that the trap victims are incapable of change. Unwilling to let a murderer continue his legacy, John designs a test in which Amanda must prove that she has what it takes to carry on with it, but she ultimately fails when she shoots Lynn Denlon, and Lynn's husband Jeff Denlon retaliates by shooting Amanda. Amanda's corpse is seen in Saw IV and Saw V, and she appears in flashbacks in Saw V, Saw VI, and Saw 3D. In Saw VI it is revealed that Mark Hoffman blackmailed Amanda into killing Lynn, using the knowledge that she had a role in Jill Tuck's miscarriage.

• Appears in: Saw (short), Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, Saw X, Jigsaw, Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Some confiscated/Most destroyed

Billy is a ventriloquist puppet created by John Kramer to communicate with his victims. Billy usually appears on a TV screen when talking to victims, but sometimes appears in person, often riding a tricycle. Billy gives the victims instructions on how to escape their traps before the time expires. Billy has also appeared in every adaptation of Saw, becoming an icon of the series. It is revealed in Saw IV that Billy was based on an earlier puppet originally created for John and Jill Tuck's unborn son Gideon, and that John's unresolved anger after Jill suffered a miscarriage after a drug addict slammed a door into her led to John using a more sinister version of the puppet to communicate with his test subjects.

Carla

• Portrayed by Alexandra Bokyun Chun (film)
• Appears in: Saw, Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood

Carla Song is a medical student at St. Eustace Hospital, and Dr. Lawrence Gordon's mistress; Lawrence's affair with her is one of the reasons why he was targeted by Jigsaw. She plays a larger role in the video game Saw II: Flesh & Blood where she is targeted by Jigsaw for stealing vital pharmaceuticals and selling them on the street for profit. She is found by Michael Tapp with her arms secured to the ceiling of an elevator shaft and her legs secured to the roof of an elevator. Michael is tasked with completing a test in order to release her safely; if he fails, the elevator will lower, and tear Carla in half. It is revealed that she is part of a criminal conspiracy alongside Henry Jacobs, Joseph Poltzer, and Sarah Blalok; Carla being responsible for procuring more specialist items from her clinic. Even though she and Michael work together, she is soon left with Henry, who slashes her to death with a pair of scissors.

• Appears in: Saw, Saw III, Saw V, Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood, Dead by Daylight: The Saw Chapter
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw: The Video Game

David Tapp is a detective assigned to investigate the earlier Jigsaw crimes. Evidence leads him to suspect that Dr. Lawrence Gordon is the Jigsaw Killer. Tapp and his partner Steven Sing later find Jigsaw's warehouse, but before they can apprehend him, he activates a trap, which threatens the life of Jeff Ridenhour. Sing rushes to help the victim while Tapp attempts to arrest Jigsaw, but Jigsaw slashes Tapp's throat with a concealed blade and flees. When Sing pursues Jigsaw, he is killed by a shotgun booby trap for which Tapp blames himself. Tapp is subsequently discharged from the force, but continues to obsess over finding Jigsaw.

Tapp monitors the Gordons' residence, still convinced that Dr. Gordon is Jigsaw, and rushes over after hearing gunshots. There he finds Alison and Diana Gordon being held captive by Zep Hindle. Zep flees and is pursued by Tapp; the chase leads to an underground room where Tapp is shot after a brief struggle and left for dead. In Saw: The Video Game, it is shown that Tapp was nursed back to health by Jigsaw and placed in a series of traps in an asylum, forced to overcome tests and other victims sent to kill him. In the game's "Freedom" ending, Tapp manages to escape from the asylum, but is unable to overcome his obsession with Jigsaw and ultimately commits suicide some time afterwards. Saw II: Flesh & Blood shows newspapers reporting Tapp's suicide. In Saw V, a police memorial service is held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Tapp is among the officers honored.

• Portrayed by Oren Koules
• Appears in: Saw, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V (mentioned only), Saw VI, Saw: The Video Game (mentioned only), Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)

As a part of Amanda's game, he is heavily tranquilized (injected with an opioid overdose) and unable to move or feel anything (Jigsaw claims, in his instructions to Amanda, that Donnie is dead). The key to unlock her trap is placed in his stomach, and to get it, Amanda has to stab him to death and cut him open. Donnie is seen again in a flashback in Saw III in which Jigsaw is shown preparing the trap. He appears again in a flashback in Saw IV exiting Jill's health clinic with Paul Leahy.

Jeff Ridenhour

• Portrayed by Ned Bellamy (film) and Dex Manley (game)
• Appears in: Saw, Saw V (mentioned only), Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood

Jeff Ridenhour first appears in Saw as a victim of one of Jigsaw's experimental traps. He is bound to a chair with two drills aimed at his neck. Jigsaw activates the trap, and the drills slowly move towards Jeff's neck. Jigsaw tells Detective Steven Sing that the key to free him is in a box with dozens of others. Without enough time to try all the keys, Sing shoots the drills to stop them.

Jeff later appears in Saw: The Video Game. He is shown to have become suicidal due to trauma. As such, Jigsaw kidnaps Jeff once again and places him in a trap that would impale him with spikes. Detective Tapp manages to free him, but an injured Jeff runs away and leaves Tapp behind. During the events of Saw II: Flesh & Blood, it is revealed that two days after Jeff escaped from the asylum, he committed suicide.

John Kramer

Main article: Jigsaw (Saw character)

• Portrayed by Tobin Bell (film/game) and George Williams (animated comic)
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, Jigsaw, Spiral (photographs), Saw X, Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

John Kramer was a successful civil engineer and toymaker. He was married to Jill Tuck, who was expecting a son, to be named Gideon. Following the miscarriage of his son caused by Cecil Adams and Amanda Young, John became distraught and later learned he had an aggressive inoperable brain tumor. He attempted suicide but ultimately survived, finding a new appreciation for life. Using his wealth and skill, John began testing others' will to live by placing them in deadly traps, which he referred to as "games" or "tests", hoping to give those who survived a new appreciation for their lives. He frequently communicated with his test subjects using a ventriloquist puppet that he created based on an earlier puppet that he had intended to give to his unborn son. He would cut the shape of a puzzle piece from the remains of those who failed, to represent they were missing "the survival instinct", leading to him being nicknamed "The Jigsaw Killer", or simply "Jigsaw", by the media (a nickname that John himself disapproved of). Although John dies after his throat is slashed by Jeff Denlon in Saw III, he appears in flashbacks throughout the series.

Lawrence Gordon

• Portrayed by Cary Elwes (film) and Stan Kirsch (animated comic)
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV (mentioned only), Saw V (mentioned only), Saw VI (mentioned only), Saw 3D, Saw: The Video Game (mentioned only), Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Alive

Lawrence Gordon is a physician who diagnosed John Kramer's terminal cancer and was initially a suspect in the Jigsaw murder case (after a penlight found at the scene of one of Jigsaw's games was linked to him). John targets Lawrence for being cold and uncaring towards his patients and his family, and for cheating on his wife with Carla Song, a medical student. Lawrence is abducted and placed in a trap where he is chained up in a dilapidated bathroom alongside Adam Stanheight. He is told that he must kill Adam before six o'clock; if he does not do so, his wife Alison and daughter Diana will be killed, and he will be left to die in the bathroom. He fails to kill Adam, but saws off his own foot using a hacksaw that Adam found to free himself from his shackle, and crawls away to get help, promising Adam he will bring someone back (although Adam is subsequently revealed to be dead in Saw II).

Lawrence's decaying severed foot is shown in Saw II, Saw III and Saw 3D. His fate is unknown until Saw 3D, when it is revealed that Lawrence survived his test by using a hot steam pipe to cauterize his ankle stump, before passing out shortly afterwards. John found Lawrence in the corridor and congratulated him for surviving. He then helped Lawrence recover, and gave him a prosthetic foot.

John recruited Lawrence as an apprentice afterwards, and Lawrence used his medical skills to prepare a variety of traps for John, such as putting the key in Michael Marks' eye in the Venus flytrap (Saw II), as well as sewing Art Blank's mouth and Trevor's eyes shut for the mausoleum trap (Saw IV). He also selected Lynn Denlon as John's surgeon (Saw III) and wrote an anonymous message to Detective Mark Hoffman (Saw V) stating "I know who you are". Following John's death, his ex-wife Jill Tuck delivered a package to Lawrence that had been left to her in John's will; it contained a videotape with instructions from John to watch over Jill and act immediately if anything was to happen to her. When Hoffman kills Jill and attempts to flee the city, he is ambushed by three people in pig masks, one of whom is revealed to be Lawrence. After chaining Hoffman by the ankle to the pipes in the bathroom, Lawrence picks up the hacksaw he had used to sever his own foot and throws it into the corridor. He then turns off the lights and leaves, telling Hoffman "Game over", before closing the door and leaving Hoffman to die in the bathroom, with no means of escape.

Lawrence also attends Bobby Dagen's support group meeting for Jigsaw survivors in Saw 3D.

Mark Wilson

• Portrayed by Paul Gutrecht
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw III, Saw V (mentioned only), Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw

Mark Wilson, a 30-year-old software analyst, is one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, targeted because he feigned illness to excuse himself from his responsibilities. Mark is stripped naked and informed that he has a slow-acting poison in his body, the antidote to which is locked in a safe in the room. Mark has to walk over a floor covered in broken glass and use a candle to read the safe combination written on the wall, wary that his flesh is smeared with a highly flammable jelly-like substance. Just as he gets the safe open, Mark eventually fumbles with the candle, burning himself alive, and his charred corpse, with the shape of a puzzle piece cut out of it, is later found by police. It is shown in Saw V that his surname is Wilson, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Peter Strahm.

Paul

• Portrayed by Mike Butters
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw

Paul is one of John's earliest victims, chosen because he attempted suicide by cutting his wrists despite having a good life with a wife and kids. Paul is placed in a large cage lined with a maze of razor wire and is given two hours to crawl his way to freedom; ironically if Paul wants to live, he will be forced to cut himself again, but if he wants to die, all he has to do is wait. Paul attempts to escape, but fails to reach the exit in time and subsequently bleeds to death; Jigsaw subsequently cuts the shape of a puzzle piece from his remains. Paul's corpse is found by police, covered with very deep cuts and in an early stage of decomposition, some time after his death. Paul is later seen in Saw IV leaving Jill's drug clinic. In Saw V, Paul is shown being kidnapped by both John and Mark Hoffman for his test in Saw.

Steven Sing

• Portrayed by Ken Leung
• Appears in: Saw, Saw III, Saw V, Saw: The Video Game (mentioned only), Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw

Steven Sing is one of the first detectives assigned to the Jigsaw case. He and his partner, David Tapp, use clues from a video tape to find Jigsaw's warehouse. There, they find Jeff Ridenhour in a trap with drills aimed at his neck. Jigsaw enters the room shortly afterwards and activates the device when the officers hold him at gunpoint, forcing them to choose between arresting him or saving Jeff. Sing shoots the drills and pursues Jigsaw through the warehouse, after Jigsaw slashes Tapp's throat with a hidden wrist blade. While pursuing him, Sing accidentally activates a tripwire that triggers four shotguns overhead to discharge, killing him instantly. Tapp blames himself for Sing's death, which ultimately causes him to obsess over capturing Jigsaw. In Saw V, a police memorial service is held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Sing is among the officers honored.

It is shown in the video game that Sing has a wife named Melissa and a son named Franklin. Melissa encounters Tapp during the game and blames him for the death of her husband. Sing is also frequently mentioned in tapes and documents.

Zep Hindle

• Portrayed by Michael Emerson (film) and Jeff Shuter (animated comic)
• Appears in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw V (mentioned only), Saw 3D, Saw X, Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw

Zep Hindle is an orderly who works at St. Eustace Hospital, where John Kramer is being treated for his cancer. He forms a bond with John while he is being treated, but John considers him to have "issues of his own". Zep is forced to monitor Adam Stanheight and Dr. Lawrence Gordon's game, in order to obtain the antidote for the slow-acting poison in his blood stream. He is instructed to hold Alison and Diana Gordon captive and kill both them and Lawrence if the latter does not kill Adam by six o'clock. Lawrence fails to kill Adam, but Alison and Diana manage to escape when Detective David Tapp arrives and chases Zep to an underground sewage system. After shooting Tapp, Zep proceeds to the site of Adam and Lawrence's test. Zep prepares to kill Lawrence since he shot Adam after the deadline, but Adam, having survived the gunshot, knocks Zep to the floor and bludgeons him to death with a toilet tank cover, believing him to be their captor. After killing Zep, Adam finds a tape in his pocket containing instructions from Jigsaw, and discovers that Zep was in fact another victim, moments before Jigsaw himself, John Kramer, reveals his identity to Adam. Zep's decomposing corpse is shown in the bathroom in Saw II, Saw III, Saw 3D and the post-credits scene of Saw X .

Saw II

Addison

• Portrayed by Emmanuelle Vaugier
• Appears in: Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Spiral (photographs)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw II

Addison is a prostitute, and a victim in the nerve gas house. Like the other victims, she was framed by Detective Eric Matthews. She attempts to work with the other captives to survive, but upon learning that another victim, Daniel, is Eric's son, she begins working alone to find an antidote. She reaches into a glass box to retrieve an antidote, and her arms get caught in the razor blade lined sockets.

The group finds a test intended for him, in which a key is hidden in a pit of hypodermic syringes, but he throws Amanda Young into the pit instead. He fails to unlock a door containing the antidote in time, and frustrated by their lack of success, abandons the others. Recalling hints left by Jigsaw on a tape recorder, Xavier realizes that each victim has a number written on the back of their neck that, when combined, will open a safe containing the antidote. Xavier begins hunting down the other victims to collect their numbers before realizing that one of the victims, Daniel, is Eric's son. He corners Daniel and Amanda in the bathroom from Saw, where, after discovering that the mirror is unusable, he cuts the skin out of the back of his neck to see his number.

However, that game never materializes since he is shot dead by Agent Peter Strahm in Saw IV, shortly after learning about Corbett's kidnapping. During Saw IV, Mark Hoffman is seen holding one of Corbett's stuffed animals when he talks to Agent Lindsey Perez. Corbett has a brief appearance in Saw V where she is seen with the stuffed animal being carried out of the warehouse and given to a police officer by Hoffman.

Danica was the only witness to the collision that left Jeff Denlon's son Dylan dead. Instead of staying to testify, Danica fled the scene, and is later kidnapped as part of Jeff's tests. She is stripped nude and suspended by her wrists in a freezer room. Once Jeff enters, two metal poles start spraying Danica with water at random intervals. She manages to convince Jeff to help her, but she is frozen to death before he can retrieve the key from behind frozen metal bars.

Dylan Denlon

• Portrayed by Stefan Georgiou
• Appears in: Saw III, Saw IV
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

Dylan Denlon is Jeff and Lynn Denlon's deceased son. He was killed when he was knocked off of his bicycle by a drunk driver, Timothy Young. Since Timothy received a very light sentence for causing Dylan's death, Jeff became vengeful, which is why he is tested in Saw III. Jeff is even forced to destroy all of Dylan's possessions (which he had kept in Dylan's room) in order to obtain a key for one of the traps. Jeff ultimately forgives Timothy (who is revealed in a flashback to have been genuinely remorseful) for causing the death of his son, having previously forgiven Danica, a witness who fled the scene and later did not come forward, as well as Judge Halden, who had sentenced Timothy.

Judge Halden

• Appears in: Saw III, Saw V (mentioned only)
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

Halden is a judge who presided over the case of Timothy Young, the drunk driver who killed Jeff Denlon's son Dylan. Halden is captured and positioned as part of Jeff's test of forgiveness to see if Jeff could overcome his anger at Halden for sentencing Timothy to only six months in prison. He is chained at the neck to the bottom of a large vat that is slowly filled with liquified pig corpses. The key to free him is in an incinerator filled with Dylan's belongings. Halden pleads with Jeff, urging him not to become a killer, and eventually, after revealing to Jeff that he has a son of his own, Jeff, after trying and failing to open the door of the incinerator, reluctantly burns the items to retrieve the key, and frees Halden in time. Later, while confronting Timothy, Halden once again pleads with Jeff to do something; at one point, the judge attempts to stop the machine to which Timothy is strapped (which Jigsaw calls "the Rack") using brute force. Jeff eventually forgives Timothy, and tries to help him, but when retrieving the key, he triggers a shotgun that discharges into Halden's face, killing him instantly.

Jeff Denlon

• Portrayed by Angus Macfadyen
• Appears in: Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D (mentioned only)

Jeff Denlon is one of John Kramer's victims in Saw III. Jeff was consumed by vengeance after the death of his son, Dylan, who was knocked off his bike and killed by a drunk driver, Timothy. Three years after his son's death, Jeff is kidnapped and subjected to a series of encounters with those he held accountable for the incident: Danica Scott (a witness who fled the scene and later did not come forward to testify), Judge Halden (the judge who passed a very lenient sentence on Timothy) and ultimately Timothy himself (who is revealed in a flashback to have been genuinely remorseful for killing Dylan). Jeff is faced with the choice of saving them or allowing them to die in their traps; Judge Halden pleads with Jeff not to become a killer himself. In Jeff's final test, he confronts Jigsaw himself to prove he has learned how to forgive. Jeff tells John he forgives him before slicing his throat with a circular saw. Upon doing so, Jeff inadvertently triggers a device that kills his wife, Lynn. Just before he dies, John takes out a tape recorder; the tape reveals that, by killing John, Jeff failed his final test, and must play another game to save his daughter Corbett.

In Saw IV, Jeff is killed by Agent Peter Strahm, who appears while he tries to rescue Eric Matthews. Strahm fatally shoots Jeff in self-defence after Jeff points the gun at him, demanding to know where his daughter is.

Jill Tuck, the ex-wife of John Kramer, appears briefly in Saw III as part of a memory that John recalls while he is undergoing brain surgery. She is interrogated by FBI agents Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez in Saw IV, revealing Jigsaw's backstory. In Saw V, after John's death, Jill visits his lawyer to hear his will, during which she is bequeathed a box containing his last intended test subjects, including one test that Jill must carry out herself. Submitting to John's final wishes, in Saw VI Jill places Mark Hoffman in a seemingly inescapable trap, intending to kill him.

After Hoffman escapes the trap, in Saw 3D Jill flees to his precinct station and asks for help from Detective Matt Gibson in Internal Affairs, offering to incriminate Hoffman in exchange for immunity and protection. While Jill is in protective custody, Hoffman infiltrates the police station and kills her with the reverse bear trap previously used on Amanda Young. As Hoffman destroys his workshop, a news report on the radio is overheard reporting that Jill has been found dead. Jill's death is subsequently avenged by Dr. Lawrence Gordon, who was instructed in a tape left for him by John to watch over Jill, and to act immediately on John's behalf if anything happened to her.

Jill is briefly mentioned in Jigsaw, when it is revealed that the main game is taking place at a pig farm that had been owned by her family, until it had to close due to an outbreak of Aujeszky's disease.

Lynn Denlon

• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw III

Lynn Denlon is an ER doctor who is kidnapped in Saw III by Amanda Young and tasked with keeping John Kramer alive until another victim completes his test. Amanda locks a collar around Lynn's neck; if John dies or she moves too far out of range, the collar will fire five shotgun shells at her head. Lynn looks after John and performs an improvised brain surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, while her husband Jeff Denlon faces a series of tests. Amanda refuses to free Lynn after Jeff completes his test, jealous of the attention John showed her and not believing she had learned anything. Amanda, unaware that Lynn is married to Jeff, shoots her. Jeff enters the room after Lynn is shot and retaliates by shooting Amanda; he then slashes John's throat with a circular saw, unwittingly activating Lynn's collar; she is killed instantly by the exploding shotgun shells after John dies from his injury. Her corpse is seen in Saw IV and Saw V. It is revealed in Saw VI that Mark Hoffman blackmailed Amanda into killing Lynn. In Saw 3D, it is revealed that it was Dr. Lawrence Gordon who suggested that she perform John's surgery.

Angelo Delos Trinos of Screen Rant described Lynn as one of the characters in the franchise who did not deserve her fate—being paired with Joyce Dagen—and described as a woman "being dragged down by your husband’s failure as a person". In an overview of over 80 traps in the franchise with the release of Spiral, Lynn's shotgun collar was ranked 20th.1

Mark Hoffman

Main article: Mark Hoffman

• Portrayed by Costas Mandylor
• Appears in: Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, Saw X, Saw: The Video Game (mentioned only), Saw II: Flesh & Blood (mentioned only)
• Status: Unknown, possibly deceased

Mark Hoffman is briefly introduced in Saw III as a detective investigating the scene of Troy's inescapable trap. In Saw IV, he is placed in a trap as a part of Officer Daniel Rigg's test. However, he is later revealed to be John Kramer's accomplice after he frees himself and leaves Rigg to die. Saw V reveals that Hoffman's sister was murdered by her abusive boyfriend Seth Baxter, and that after Seth was released early from prison, Hoffman took revenge by placing him in an inescapable trap made to look like one of John's; Seth was killed despite doing as he was instructed. John found out about the trap and, in addition to criticising Hoffman's trap as being inferior, blackmailed Hoffman into working for him, but Hoffman eventually became a willing apprentice and aided him in nearly every subsequent trap, despite not genuinely believing in Jigsaw's philosophy (even remarking about how much he wanted Timothy Young to suffer when reprimanded by John for failing to treat Timothy as a human being).

When Agent Peter Strahm closes in on him, Hoffman kills and frames him. In Saw VI, he kills two FBI agents and a technician who threaten to expose his secret. Jill Tuck attempts to kill him with an updated reverse bear trap, as per John's request, although he manages to escape wounded. In Saw 3D, he sneaks into the police station, kills everyone standing between him and Jill, then kills her with the original reverse bear trap John had used on Amanda Young. After killing Jill, Hoffman; who is now wanted by the authorities for the murders of Jill and several police employees, destroys his warehouse and attempts to leave town. However, before he can leave, he is abducted by Dr. Lawrence Gordon and left to die in the bathroom from Saw, thus avenging Jill's murder.

According to producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg, Hoffman is named after late Saw producer Gregg Hoffman, who died shortly after the announcement of Saw III.

Timothy

• Portrayed by Mpho Koaho

Timothy Young is a medical student who knocked Jeff Denlon's son, Dylan, off of his bicycle and killed him while driving drunk three years prior to the events of Saw III. Timothy was sentenced to only six months in prison, and was released long before the events of the film, fueling Jeff's thirst for vengeance. A flashback reveals that Timothy was genuinely remorseful for causing Dylan's death.

In Saw III, Timothy is kidnapped and placed in a device called "The Rack", which begins to rotate, twisting and breaking each of his limbs one-by-one. Jeff, despite Judge Halden (who had sentenced Timothy for causing Dylan's death) pleading with him to do something (and even trying to stop the device using brute force), is initially content with watching Timothy die, but ultimately forgives him and decides to help him. However, Jeff is too late and the device twists Timothy's head, fatally breaking his neck before Jeff can unlock the device. Judge Halden is also killed in the course of Jeff's failed attempt to save Timothy, after Jeff discharges a loaded shotgun into Halden's face while retrieving a key that has been tied to the trigger. Timothy appears in a flashback in Saw VI, lying unconscious before being placed in The Rack by Hoffman, who is reprimanded by Jigsaw for not treating Timothy as a fellow human being.

Art is a lawyer who was involved in a housing development project with John Kramer and Jill Tuck, before John's transformation into the Jigsaw Killer. Art is targeted by John for successfully defending guilty people, including Brenda (a pimp), Ivan Landsness (a rapist), and Rex (an abusive husband). Art first appears in a trap that pits him against another victim, Trevor. Both are chained at the neck to a winch and Art's mouth is sewn shut, as are Trevor's eyes, rendering communication impossible. Trevor panics and attempts to kill Art, and Art is forced to kill Trevor in order to retrieve the key attached to his collar, tearing his mouth open in the process. Art later has a hand in setting up the tests for Daniel Rigg. He is tasked with keeping Eric Matthews and Mark Hoffman alive throughout the 90 minutes of Rigg's tests, wearing a device strapped to his back with a set of pincers poised to cut through his spine. Once the timer runs out, he is to press a button that will free him and both captives. However, Rigg crashes through the door with one second to spare, causing Eric's death, and then shoots Art in the head after mistaking the tape recorder in his hand for a gun.

Brenda is placed in a machine designed to tear her scalp from her head and Rigg is instructed to simply walk away from her as she is not worth saving. After he dials the lock combination written on the gears to release her, she attacks him with a knife that had been hidden in the room. She had been told by Jigsaw that Rigg was there to arrest her and the only way to prevent Rigg from sending her to prison for her crimes was to kill him. Rigg subdues her by throwing her into a mirror, and by the time the police arrive at the scene, she has already died from blood loss.

Cecil is a drug addict who played a large role in John Kramer's transformation into the Jigsaw Killer. As Jill Tuck was closing down her drug rehabilitation clinic for the night, he begged her to let him back in; once inside, he robbed the facility and shoved a door into her stomach while fleeing, inadvertently causing her to have a miscarriage. John later abducts Cecil and places him in the first Jigsaw trap: a chair with razor blade restraints, from which he can only escape by pushing his face through a set of knives. The chair collapses and Cecil charges at John, who steps aside, allowing Cecil to fall into a tangle of razor wire, killing him. John subsequently cuts the shape of a puzzle piece from Cecil's remains. In Saw VI, it is shown that Cecil robbed Jill's clinic at Amanda Young's request.

Ivan appears in Saw IV as the clerk of the Alexander Motel. Suspected of multiple vicious rapes but freed repeatedly due to the efforts of his lawyer Art Blank, Ivan is part of Daniel Rigg's second test. Following instructions, Rigg forces him into an adjoining motel room, where they are both confronted with video and photographic evidence of Ivan's exploits. Enraged, Rigg forces Ivan into a prearranged trap, and supplies him with the tools to escape: two buttons that will drive blades into his eyes. Ivan only blinds one eye before the 60-second timer runs out, and the trap rips off three of his limbs and throws his body across the room.

Lindsey Perez

• Portrayed by Athena Karkanis
• Appears in: Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw VI

Lindsey Perez is an FBI agent assigned to the Jigsaw case along with her partner, Agent Peter Strahm. Informed by Detective Allison Kerry that two officers might be in danger, she and Strahm investigate the disappearances of Daniel Rigg and Mark Hoffman. As they follow the trail of Rigg's tests, it becomes apparent that they themselves are being targeted by Jigsaw. Perez barely escapes death when Strahm pulls her out of the firing path of a harpoon (which in turn hit a crime scene photographer). Minutes later, they enter a room where they are confronted with a Billy doll and a tape meant for Perez. As she leans in to hear the tape, the Billy doll's face explodes sending shrapnel into her face and neck. In Saw V, it is implied that Perez died from her injuries; her last words to Strahm were "Detective Hoffman", leading to Strahm's initial suspicion regarding Hoffman.

Perez is revealed to be alive in Saw VI, with prominent facial scars, and is back on the Jigsaw case. Dismissive of Strahm being Jigsaw's accomplice, she and Agent Dan Erickson investigate abnormalities in each crime scene that implicates Strahm, including a distorted tape made by Hoffman. As soon as the tape is unscrambled Hoffman fatally stabs her. When Hoffman demands to know who else is aware of his secret, she says "everyone" before dying. After killing Perez, Hoffman sets fire to her body and everything else in the audio lab to destroy the evidence.

Morgan and Rex

In frustration, Rigg punched Rex, prompting his lawyer Art Blank to threaten him with a lawsuit. Detective Mark Hoffman interceded, claiming Rigg was acting in self-defense and the matter was dropped. Rex and Morgan are later put into a Jigsaw test as part of Rigg's game. The pair are locked back-to-back in a harness, their bodies impaled with several long spikes. A tape left for Morgan informs her that she can free herself by removing the spikes but will kill Rex in the process. When Rigg finds the pair, Rex is dead and Morgan is unconscious, having removed all but one spike. He gives her the key to the harness and tells her she will have to save herself, then sets off a fire alarm to alert the authorities to her location. When found by Agents Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, Morgan says that Rigg has saved her.

He is the first to theorize that Jigsaw may have had more than one accomplice. He interrogates Jill Tuck gaining information on Jigsaw's background, while pursuing Daniel Rigg. His investigation leads him to the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, where he discovers the corpses of Jigsaw, Amanda Young, and Lynn Denlon, in the makeshift sickroom. Strahm kills Jeff Denlon in self-defense before Mark Hoffman locks him in. Early in Saw V, Strahm finds a hidden exit, but is captured and placed in a trap (a glass cube around his head that fills with water) meant to kill him. He survives by removing a pen from his shirt pocket and using the plastic tube to perform a makeshift tracheotomy on himself. Subsequently, his boss, Agent Dan Erickson, removes him from the case. Strahm conducts his own investigation, now suspicious of Hoffman. He is eventually crushed to death in a trap room when he fails to follow Hoffman's instructions, and Hoffman plants his cell phone at a crime scene to frame him as Jigsaw's second accomplice.

In Saw VI, Hoffman emerges from the casket below the trap and uses Strahm's severed hand to place his fingerprints at additional crime scenes. As soon as Agents Perez and Erickson unravel the deception, Hoffman murders them and again leaves Strahm's fingerprints at the scene before setting it on fire.

Seth Baxter is the boyfriend and murderer of Mark Hoffman's younger sister Angelina Acomb. He was sentenced to life in prison for the murder, but was released on a technicality after serving only five years behind bars. Hoffman, enraged by the death of his only family member, kidnaps Seth and puts him in a trap that mimics Jigsaw's methods, but is rigged to be inescapable. Hoffman produces a video tape depicting Billy (the puppet used by Jigsaw to communicate with test subjects) and distorts his voice to make it sound like that of Jigsaw. Seth, who had fatally strangled Angelina, is told that he must put his hands into two presses and push buttons to crush them in order to avoid being killed by a swinging pendulum blade that gradually swings closer and closer to his body, and will cut him in two within sixty seconds. Even though he does so, the pendulum continues to descend and ultimately bisects him as Hoffman watches through a peephole. Jigsaw, who disapproves of outright killing his victims, later abducts Hoffman and, after criticising the pendulum trap as inferior to his work, blackmails Hoffman into becoming his apprentice.

In Saw VI, detectives reopen the investigation into Seth's death after Dr. Heffner reveals that the blade used to cut a puzzle piece from the remains of a recent victim of a Jigsaw trap was the same one used to cut a puzzle piece from Seth's remains.

• Appears in: Saw 3D

Bobby Dagen is the author of a self-help book based on his accounts of surviving a Jigsaw trap. In reality, however, he made the entire story up in order to find quick fame and success. A flashback shows John Kramer attending a book signing by Bobby; John (whom Bobby does not recognise as Jigsaw) implies that he is aware that Bobby is lying about having survived a Jigsaw trap, and sarcastically says "We've met", thus hinting that he is the Jigsaw killer, after removing the dust jacket from the book and declaring that he does not need the picture. Bobby is later abducted by Jigsaw's successor Mark Hoffman and put into a series of six tests at the abandoned Clear Dawn Psychiatric Hospital, along with his wife Joyce Dagen and three of his key staff members. The first test requires him to escape from a cage suspended above a series of spikes on the floor, which he achieves by releasing the cage's bottom end and swinging himself far enough to jump free. The next three tests each lead to the death of one of his staff members; in the fifth, he must pull out two of his teeth in order to obtain the combination to the door leading to Joyce. For his final test, he is made to undergo the ordeal that he claimed to have endured in his book: he must drive two meat hooks through his pectoral muscles, then haul himself up to connect two extension cords and shut off the electrified wire around Joyce's platform. As he is about to plug in the cords, the hooks tear through his flesh and he drops to the floor, and he watches helplessly as a large metal capsule resembling a brazen bull slams shut around Joyce and she is incinerated within it. His ultimate fate is not revealed.

In order to save her, one will have to push the carriage to the other's end within 60 seconds, killing him; alternatively, they can spare each other, and Dina will be killed once the timer runs out.

• Appears in: Jigsaw
• Status: Alive

Logan Nelson is the medical examiner for the city police department. He had served with the United States Army in Fallujah during the Iraq War, but was captured, interrogated, and tortured by the enemy. This experience, combined with the trauma of his wife Christine's murder, leads Detective Brad Halloran to suspect him as the new Jigsaw. When Logan and his assistant, Eleanor Bonneville, find the site of the new game, Halloran ambushes them; both Logan and Halloran are knocked out and placed in collars rigged to fire laser cutters at their heads unless they confess their wrongdoing. Logan appears to die when his collar activates, but then stands up alive and well after Halloran admits to his own unethical behavior as a police officer.

Logan reveals to Halloran that 10 years ago, while working at a hospital, he had inadvertently mixed-up John Kramer's x-rays with those of another patient, leading to a delay in treatment for John's cancer that allowed it to become terminal. He was placed into one of John's games, in which he was wounded on a set of circular saws. Choosing to spare Logan because he had made an honest mistake, John recruited him as an apprentice; it is revealed that Logan assisted in preparing the reverse bear trap depicted in the first film. In the present, Logan sets up a new barn game using three people associated with Halloran's past cases (including Christine's murder) in order to draw him in and frame him as the new Jigsaw Killer. With Halloran's confession on tape, Logan activates Halloran's collar, which slices his head open.

Ryan saves them by pulling a lever, which severs his lower leg. For the fourth game, Mitch is suspended upside down and slowly lowered toward a helical blade spun by the engine of that same motorcycle.

When Anna and Mitch become trapped in a grain silo under a flood of pouring grain and sharp objects, he must pull a lever to save them and free himself; doing so causes the cables to sever his lower leg. Later, in the fifth game, Ryan and Anna are chained to pipes at opposite sides of a room and given a shotgun loaded with one shell. Anna tries to shoot Ryan, but the gun explodes in her face and kills her, having been rigged to backfire.

He is a reporter, investigating his father's recent death when he is captured by Pighead II and forced to undergo a series of lethal traps set up by Jigsaw. As he progresses through the game he saves several people, freeing Henry Jacobs, Sarah Blalok, Joseph Poltzer, Carla Song, and Solomon Bates while surviving other victims loose in the game; criminals previously arrested by his father after revenge on his son. Though initially friendly, Henry, and later Joseph, begin stalking Michael in order to kill him and prevent their corruption and role in a drug cartel being revealed, should Michael escape. Henry is killed by Pighead II before he can kill him however, and Michael is able to kill Joseph himself. During the game, Michael is revealed to have abused his strained relationship with his father to steal documents pertaining to the Jigsaw case, including Tapp's botched sting that resulted in Detective Steven Sing's death.

Before her death, Sarah Blalok indicates that Michael knows the man behind the pig mask and that he is a friend of his father David Tapp. However, she is killed before she reveals his identity. Although Pighead II appears to work for Jigsaw, he commits acts of murder against his philosophy. Although his identity is never confirmed, it is possible that Pighead II is Mark Hoffman, since Hoffman knew Tapp and he was a murderer, unlike Jigsaw.

Sarah Blalok

• Appears in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood

Sarah Blalok is a drug addict, prostitute, and an informant for David Tapp. Tapp gives her a second chance by helping her escape from her previous life. Following his death, however, she begins to fall back into her previous lifestyle. She blames Michael Tapp for betraying his father and contributing to his suicide. Michael finds her trapped in a sealed tank slowly filling with water and is forced to solve a puzzle to free her before she drowns. Though initially hostile towards Michael, she later becomes more friendly, explaining that his father loved Michael even after his betrayal. She is revealed to have been part of a criminal conspiracy alongside Carla Song, Henry Jacobs, and Joseph Poltzer; her role being to sell drugs on the streets. While searching for Jigsaw, Tapp discovered their drug cartel and Sarah was used to mislead him, even though she was aware that he was not concerned about the drug cartel because of his obsession with Jigsaw. Through her own admission, it is revealed that she had feelings for Tapp. She is found by Joseph as she is about to disclose the identity of Pighead II. Joseph sneaks up on Sarah and shoots her in the head.

Solomon Bates

• Appears in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Unknown (likely deceased)
• Died in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood (possibly)

Solomon Bates is an accountant involved in a housing development project with John Kramer and Art Blank before the events that would turn John into Jigsaw. He is later responsible for using his accountancy role to hide the illegal money made by the drug cartel consisting of Henry Jacobs, Joseph Poltzer, Carla Song, and Sarah Blalok, thus bringing him to Jigsaw's attention. Solomon is initially found trapped inside a movable cage alongside Michael Tapp during the latter's first test prepared by Jigsaw. Both men have to race to push their cages over a floor covered in broken glass towards the exit, with the winner receiving their freedom. Solomon manages to reach the end first and escapes. After Jigsaw gives Michael a second chance, Michael later encounters Solomon again during his trials. Solomon is seen chained to a suspended cart set on a track filled with slowly rising flames that will burn him alive unless Michael pushes him out of harm's way. Upon his release, Solomon reveals the truth about the members of the drug cartel and that Michael's father David Tapp accidentally stumbled on their operations during his search for Jigsaw. He is last seen being cornered by Pighead II and thrown into a pit of syringes. Pighead II then seals the door before Michael can enter.

Zeke

• Appears in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood
• Status: Deceased
• Died in: Saw II: Flesh & Blood

Zeke is a Jigsaw victim whose original trap mangles his hands beyond repair, stripping away much of the flesh. He is a pedophile who molested little girls. He is saved from his trap by Michael Tapp, but passes out from blood loss. Between this event and the events of the game, he has his damaged forearms replaced with large blades and becomes psychotic, chasing and attempting to kill Michael at any opportunity. Michael manages to lure him in between two spiked wall devices in front of a doorway that snap shut and crush him.
