After failing to complete their tests in time they were confronted by Zep Hindle. Adam beat Zep to death with a toilet tank cover while Gordon crawled away to get help. The real Jigsaw showed himself and tells Adam that the chain's key is in the bathtub, which was drained when Adam accidentally kicked the plug out. Adam then grabs Zep's pistol and tries to shoot Jigsaw but is electrocuted by his hidden remote control before he can get a shot off. Jigsaw then turns off the lights and shuts the bathroom door, leaving Adam to die. Jigsaw's apprentice, Amanda, came to Adam later and suffocated him with a plastic bag as an act of mercy. His decomposing corpse was shown in Saw II and Saw III. It was revealed in Saw V that Adam's last name was Stanheight, as indicated by a document observed by Agent Strahm.

In Saw III, after Matthews was kidnapped and presumed dead following the events of II, Kerry became wracked with guilt for his loss. She and Detective Hoffman were assigned a case where Kerry pointed out that a trap did not follow Jigsaw's modus operandi, because the trap did not give the victim a chance to escape, and thus did not believe Jigsaw was responsible for it. She was later captured and placed in her own trap ("Angel Trap"), though she followed the rules and tried to secure her freedom, the trap was designed and rigged by Amanda Young to not release her and the trap tore her ribcage from her body. Her corpse was later discovered by Rigg and the FBI. It was shown in Saw IV that she was also an FBI contact passing information to Agents Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez. It was shown in Saw IV on the files Rigg goes through (Almost at the beginning of the film), that Kerry's first name was Allison.

David Tapp was a detective assigned to investigate early Jigsaw crimes. Evidence led him to suspect Dr. Lawrence Gordon of being Jigsaw and led him to a possible hideout for Jigsaw. Tapp and his partner Sing found the real Jigsaw and attempted to arrest him but were stopped when the killer activated a nearby trap, threatening the life of the man trapped within it. Sing rushed to help the victim while Tapp attempted to arrest Jigsaw but Jigsaw retaliated by slicing open Tapp's throat. As they pursued Jigsaw, Sing was killed in a booby-trap for which Tapp blamed himself. His son Michael, a reporter, abused their strained relationship during this time to steal information on the Jigsaw case and write an expose that tarnished Tapp's reputation leading to him being dismissed from the force. Still convinced that Gordon was Jigsaw, Tapp investigated him privately, inadvertently coming into conflict with Zep Hindle who was holding Gordon's family hostage. Tapp gave chase and fought with Zep but was shot and left for dead.

Main article: Lawrence Gordon (Saw)

• Portrayed by Cary Elwes (film) and Stan Kirsch (animated comic).
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw 3D
• Status: Alive

Dr. Lawrence Gordon was the man responsible for diagnosing John Kramer's cancer and was initially a suspect in the Jigsaw case. As Jigsaw, John targeted Gordon for engaging in an affair with his medical student, Carla Song, despite having a loving family. Gordon was placed in a trap alongside Adam Stanheight and tasked with killing him before the time limit ran out or his wife and daughter would be executed. He failed to do this, but instead severed his own foot to free himself from his shackles, attempting to crawl to freedom and promising to bring help back for Adam. A flashback in Saw III showed him lying unconscious on the bathroom floor, though Elwes did not portray him. His decomposed foot is shown in Saw II, Saw III, and Saw 3D. In Saw V it was revealed that Hoffman set up Gordon as a Jigsaw suspect by placing Gordon's penlight at a Jigsaw crime scene.

In Saw 3D, it is shown that after he crawled from the bathroom, he used a hot steam pipe to cauterize his wound. After John sealed Adam in the bathroom, he found Gordon, who had passed out by this time, and pulled him into a room where he congratulated him for surviving. Later he fitted a prosthetic foot on him and allowed Gordon to help with some of his traps. He is shown sewing the key behind Michael's eye (Saw II), suggesting Lynn Denlon as a test subject to John (Saw III), stitching Trevor's eyes shut (Saw IV) and writing the second "I know who you are" note that Hoffman found on his desk (Saw V). In Saw VI, Jill went to Saint Eustace Hospital and dropped a package off for Gordon; this proved to contain a videotape with instructions from Jigsaw to watch over Jill and, should anything happen to her, take immediate action on Jigsaw's behalf to avenge her. After Hoffman kills Jill and tries to flee the city, Gordon and two other people in pig masks ambush him. Gordon takes Hoffman to the bathroom in which his own game took place (Saw) and shackles him next to the decayed corpses of Adam Stanheight, Zep Hindle, and Xavier Chavez. Hoffman tries to grab a hacksaw from the floor, but Gordon takes it away and throws it out of the room. He then shuts off the lights and leaves, closing the door and abandoning Hoffman to die.

Mark Wilson

• Portrayed by Paul Gutrecht
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw
• Status: Deceased

Mark, a 30-year-old software analyst, was one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, targeted because he feigned illness and injury to excuse himself from his responsibilities when he was in fact perfectly healthy. Mark was stripped naked and informed that he had a slow-acting poison in his body, and the antidote was locked away in a safe in the room. Mark had to overcome the broken-glass covered floor and use a candle to read the safe combination written on the wall, wary of the fact his flesh was smeared with napalm. Mark eventually fumbled with the candle and the substance ignited, burning him alive; his charred corpse was found later by police. 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. According to the list in Saw V, Mark was the second victim of Jigsaw's traps, the first being Cecil.

Paul Leahy

• Portrayed by Mike Butters
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw IV, Saw V
• Status: Deceased

Paul was one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, chosen because he attempted suicide by cutting his wrists despite having a 'good' life with a wife and kids. Paul was placed in a large cage lined with a maze of razor wire and given 2 hours to crawl his way to freedom, the irony of this being that if Paul wanted to live he would have to cut himself but if he really wanted to die, all he had to do was wait. Paul died of injuries from the razor wire before reaching the exit. Paul was later seen in Saw IV leaving Jill's drug clinic. In Saw V, Paul is shown being kidnapped by Jigsaw and Hoffman for his test in Saw.

Steven Sing

• Portrayed by Ken Leung
• Appeared in: Saw
• Status: Deceased

Steven Sing was a detective who was called to the crime scene investigation of one of Jigsaw's victims. He and his partner, David Tapp, were assigned to the case. Tapp found a clue in one of the tapes left over from the crime scene, leading Sing and Tapp right to Jigsaw's hideout. There, they found a man in a trap with drills aimed at his neck. Jigsaw arrived and activated the device forcing the detectives to choose between arresting him or saving Jeff. Sing shot the drills and deactivated them before pursuing Jigsaw through the warehouse after Jigsaw had slashed Tapp's throat. While in pursuit, Sing accidentally activated a tripwire which triggered four shotguns hidden above to fire and kill him. Sing's death triggered Tapp's obsession with Jigsaw. In Saw V, Sing was given a police memorial.

It is shown in the video game that Sing had a wife named Melissa and a son named Franklin. Melissa encounters Tapp during the game and blames him for the death of her husband.

Zep Hindle

• Portrayed by Michael Emerson (film) and Jeff Shuter (animated comic).
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw 3D
• Status: Deceased

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. Zep would later be forced to watch Adam Stanheight and Dr. Gordon play out their game that took place in a bathroom. If Lawrence failed to kill Adam by 6:00, 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 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; the two fought, and Zep shot Tapp in the chest and left him to die. In the bathroom, where Lawrence had already shot Adam, Zep prepared to kill Lawrence. Before he could do so, though, Adam knocked him down and beat him to death with a toilet tank lid.

Throughout the film, Zep is presented as a red herring, with the audience being encouraged to believe that he was Jigsaw, rather than a victim of one of Jigsaw's games. The truth is revealed only after Adam searches the body, looking for a key to free himself, and finds a microcassette recorder that contains Jigsaw's instructions to Zep. On the commentary for Saw, Leigh Whannell and James Wan stated that Zep enjoyed the sense of power he was given over others which he did not have before. Zep's decomposed corpse is later shown still in the bathroom in Saw II, Saw III and Saw 3D.

Saw II

Addison Corday

• Portrayed by Emmanuelle Vaugier
• Appeared in: Saw II, Saw IV
• Status: Deceased

Addison was a prostitute and a victim in the Nerve Gas House in Saw II. Like the other adult victims in the house, she had been arrested by Eric Matthews. Though she attempted to work with the other prisoners to survive, upon learning that another victim, Daniel, was Eric Matthews' son, she began working alone to find the antidote for the gas that was slowly killing everyone. When she reached into a hanging glass box to retrieve an antidote syringe, her arms became caught in folding razor blades and she began bleeding heavily while trying to pull free. Xavier found her but after reading the number on the back of her neck, he left her to bleed to death. In Saw IV she is shown prior to John Kramer becoming Jigsaw, offering him 'company' in her role as a prostitute.

It was revealed in the commentary for the second film that there was a key already in the lock at the back of the trap Addison died in, and all she had to do in order to live was to turn it and grab the antidote. It was also revealed her trap was intended for Gus, who died earlier on, which is why she is shown ripping up his envelope and tossing his tape aside. Addison's trap was supposed to be a "waffle iron," which she would have to push her face into. According to the Saw II website, Addison was written to be 29 years old.

Daniel Matthews

• Portrayed by Erik Knudsen
• Appeared in: Saw II
• Status: Alive

Daniel appeared in Saw II, he is the son of Eric Matthews. After a falling out with his father, Daniel went missing but was revealed to have been captured and placed in another of Jigsaw's games alongside several convicts, all arrested by Daniel's father. As the game progressed, Daniel's lineage was discovered and he was abandoned by many of the other victims. As time ran low, Daniel and Amanda worked together to get away from Xavier, an enraged victim who was hunting them. Xavier found them but Daniel managed to slice open his neck with a saw, killing him and saving Amanda and himself. After these events it is revealed that Amanda, Jigsaw's new apprentice, had taken the unconscious Daniel to Jigsaw's lair and they had locked him in a safe as an incentive for Eric Matthews in his own test. Daniel also appears briefly in Saw V, in a flashback revealing that Detective Hoffman had assisted Jigsaw in preparing the house in Saw II. In Saw 3D, a flashback shows him and Amanda in the bathroom from the ending of Saw II.

Daniel Rigg

• Portrayed by Lyriq Bent
• Appeared in: Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV
• Status: Deceased

Daniel Rigg was a S.W.A.T. officer who first appeared in Saw II, assisting detectives Eric Matthews and Allison Kerry in arresting Jigsaw, but ultimately failed to capture the felon after Eric helped Jigsaw escape. He held the rank of Sergeant for this film, but was promoted to Lieutenant and put in command of the S.W.A.T. team before the events of Saw III. Appearing only briefly in Saw III, Rigg was eventually put into a series of tests as the protagonist in Saw IV, in which he had to rethink many of the Jigsaw Killer's ideals. He suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach in his final test; and it was revealed that he died of blood loss in Saw V and was also given a memorial, along with Detectives Eric Matthews, Allison Kerry, David Tapp, and Steven Sing.

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." At the memorial/press conference in Saw V, photographs of the five dead officers are on display, labeled with their names; Rigg's picture shows his first name as Daniel.

Eric Matthews

Eric Matthews was a detective who led a SWAT team to Jigsaw's latest lair in Saw II. Before he could be arrested, Jigsaw revealed he had possession of Eric's son and that he would have to play in Jigsaw's game to see him again. It was revealed that Eric was chosen because he had planted evidence to secure convictions against people for crimes they had not committed. Eric, concerned about his son, refused to follow Jigsaw's rules and in doing so he ended up brutalizing the weakened cancer patient and later trapped and shackled in the same bathroom in which Adam had died. However, he shattered his own foot to allow him to squeeze free of the shackle and pursue Amanda, his captor and one of the victims of his evidence-planting. He brutally beat Amanda before she gained the upper-hand and left him for dead. Jigsaw found Matthews, had his foot repaired and held him captive until he could be used in a trap designed for Daniel Rigg.

Two antidote syringes had been placed inside a cold furnace; he could use one for himself and give the other away. When he crawled in and tried to retrieve the syringes, he triggered a mechanism that sealed and ignited the furnace, burning him to death. A clue given on Obi's tape indicated that he could save himself by turning a valve within the furnace, highlighted by an image of the Devil. However he failed to reach through the flames to activate it and it is not made clear whether he was aware of the clue's meaning.

Remembering the instructions given at the start of the game, Xavier realized that the victims had numbers written on the back of their necks which, when combined, would open a safe containing a dose of the antidote.

Jigsaw's final message was for Jeff to undergo another test to save his daughter, but he was killed by Agent Strahm before he was able to do so. Jeff also appears in a flashback at the end of Saw VI.

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."

Jill Tuck

Main article: Jill Tuck

• Portrayed by Betsy Russell
• Appeared in: Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V,Saw VI, Saw 3D
• Status: Deceased

Jill Tuck is John Kramer's ex-wife who divorced him after he became increasingly distant and cold following the miscarriage of their son, accidentally caused by Cecil Adams, with Amanda being with Cecil at the time. She was initially suspected of having aided the Jigsaw Killer or in fact being the killer. After John's death, Jill visits his lawyer to hear his final will, during which she is bequeathed a box containing his last intended games and victims including one that Jill needed to test herself. Submitting to his final wishes, Jill placed Mark Hoffman in a seemingly unwinnable game before leaving the scene.

In Saw 3D, Jill is on the run from Hoffman after she witnesses him escaping the Reverse-Bear Trap 2.0. She visits the local police precinct and demands full immunity and protection because she can implicate Hoffman as the new Jigsaw apprentice. As she leaves the police station, she is ambushed by an assailant in a pig mask and chained to a railway in front of a bladed cart. Hoffman sets the cart in motion and kills her; however, she wakes up in her apartment, having only dreamed of her own death. She is taken to a safe house, but after a DVD containing a threat from Hoffman is delivered here, she is moved to a holding cell in the police station. Hoffman infiltrates the station and kills every officer in his way before reaching the cell, where Jill stabs him in the neck with a pen and tries to get away. He quickly subdues her and straps her into a chair, placing the original Reverse Bear Trap on her head and leaving her no way to remove it or escape. As he leaves, the timer runs out and the device rips Jill's head open.

Lynn Denlon

• Portrayed by Bahar Soomekh
• Appeared in: Saw III, Saw IV(flashback),Saw VI(flashback), Saw 3D(flashback),
• Status: Deceased

Lynn was an ER doctor who was kidnapped in Saw III by Amanda and tasked with keeping John Kramer/Jigsaw alive until the completion of his latest game. Lynn was placed in a collar rigged with shotgun shells, which would detonate if she moved too far from Jigsaw or if his heart monitor flatlined. She performed extensive brain surgery and care to ensure he stayed alive until her husband Jeff completed his three tests. Lynn was supposed to be released when Jeff finished, but ultimately Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda Young refused, believing that she had not learned anything from her experience and jealous of the attention Jigsaw had shown her. Lynn is injured by a gunshot from Amanda before being revealed as Jeff Denlon's estranged wife. Jeff then killed Amanda and Jigsaw, unknowingly activating his wife's trap, blowing her head to pieces. Her destroyed head is shown again in Saw IV as Special Agent Strahm enters the sickroom. Lynn also appears in a flashback in Saw VI, which is mentioned in the message read and Hoffmann at the clinic, being shot by Amanda. In Saw 3D, it was revealed that it was Lawrence Gordon who suggested her as a suitable doctor to operate on Jigsaw, showing him a photo of her.

When asked about why she believed her character was being tested, Bahar Soomekh said, "I think this is what's so interesting and that's what I would ask is in Jigsaw's mind he's justified in everything that he does, right? These are people, whether they are drug dealers or they've done something wrong. But that's how psychotic and wrong he actually is. Because he justifies it. What did Lynn do? That's what's so disturbing because he's not justified at all in doing what he does. In his mind, he thinks he's helping these people. How does he help Lynn? He doesn't help Lynn at all. But I think, in his mind, because my character's depressed ... so she's been dead inside. She's totally dead inside and this is Jigsaw's way of waking her up and saying, 'What the hell are you doing?' And she does. You see the metamorphosis in her."

Mark Hoffman

• Appeared in: Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D
• Status: Unknown

Mark Hoffman is a detective who used his knowledge of the Jigsaw crimes to murder the man who killed his sister while placing the blame on Jigsaw. In Saw IV he becomes a participant in Daniel Rigg's test before revealing himself as one of Jigsaw's apprentices by freeing himself from his trap. Hoffman held the legacy to the Jigsaw killings and continued to operate 'games' set out by Jigsaw before his death. Despite framing Peter Strahm for his crimes, Hoffman is discovered to be the last Jigsaw killer, forcing him to kill everyone who knows. While watching the end of his current game, he is assaulted and placed in a trap by Jill Tuck and left to die, but using a screw driver, and a barred window, Hoffman rips the machine from his face, leaving one cheek ripped open, and is shown screaming at the end of the movie. He manages to escape in the next film and hunts down Jill whilst dealing with the police who are closing in on him. After managing to kill Jill with the reverse bear trap and kills most of the detectives hunting him he tries to escape town after being found out. He is attacked by three Pigheads (one of which being Dr. Gordon) and locked by Gordon inside the bathroom from the first film and left inside to die.

He appeared in Saw III, kidnapped and placed in a cross-shaped device named "The Rack," one of the traps that Jigsaw describes as his personal favourite. The Rack began individually rotating Timothy's limbs beyond their capable motion, rending his flesh and breaking his bones. Jeff was tasked with obtaining the key to free Timothy and despite their past relationship Jeff obtained the key.

Troy was one of Amanda's first victims, chosen because of his long prison record for unnamed crimes despite his privileged upbringing. Troy was tasked with tearing out eleven chains bound through his flesh and bones before a nearby bomb detonated but he was unable to remove the final chain through his mandible in time. It was later revealed that Troy's only exit from the trap had been welded shut, leaving him no way to survive even if he removed all the chains. Troy was later seen in a flashback in Saw IV, in the waiting room of Jill's clinic.

Saw IV

Art Blank

• Portrayed by Justin Louis
• Appeared in: Saw IV
• Status: Deceased

Art was a lawyer involved in a housing development project with John Kramer and Jill Tuck before the events that would turn John into Jigsaw. Art was targeted by Jigsaw for successfully defending guilty people in his role as lawyer, including Brenda (a pimp), Ivan (a rapist) and Rex (an abusive husband). Art first appeared in a trap that pitted him against another victim, Trevor. Art's mouth was sewn shut, while Trevor's eyes were sewn shut. Art managed to kill Trevor, tearing his mouth open, and later had a hand in setting up the tests for Daniel Rigg. He was eventually tasked with keeping Eric Matthews and Mark Hoffman alive until the 90-minute time period for Rigg's tests had run out, after which he would be able to free himself and both captives. However, Rigg crashed through the door with one second to spare, causing Eric's death, then shot and killed Art after mistaking the tape recorder in his hand for a gun.

Brenda

• Portrayed by Sarain Boylan
• Appeared in: Saw IV
• Status: Deceased

Brenda was a female pimp who appeared in Saw IV as a victim in Daniel Rigg's game. Brenda was placed in a machine designed to tear her scalp from her head and Rigg was instructed to simply walk away from her as she was not worth saving. After he dialed in a lock combination written on the gears and released her, she attacked him with a knife that had been hidden in the room. Rigg subdued her by throwing her into a mirror; by the time the police arrived at the scene, she was dead. She had been instructed by Jigsaw that the only way to prevent Rigg from sending her to prison for her crimes was to kill him. Art Blank had acted as her lawyer in previous criminal trials and gotten her acquitted.

Cecil Adams

• Portrayed by Billy Otis
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw VI (flashback)
• Status: Deceased

Cecil appeared in Saw IV, playing a large role in the transformation of John Kramer into Jigsaw. As Jill Tuck was closing down her drug clinic for the night, he begged her to let him back in; once inside, he robbed the facility and shoved a door open into her stomach, inadvertently causing her to have a miscarriage. John later abducted Cecil and placed him in the first Jigsaw trap: a chair with razor blades digging into his wrists, from which he could only escape by pushing his face through a rack of knives to hit the release switch. The chair collapsed in the process and Cecil charged at John, who stepped aside so that Cecil fell into a pile of razor wire which killed him. In Saw VI, it was shown that Cecil robbed Jill's clinic at Amanda Young's request.

Detective Fisk

• Portrayed by Mike Realba
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw V
• Status: Alive

Fisk is a detective who first appeared in Saw IV working with agents Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez. In Saw IV, he discovered Lieutenant Daniel Rigg's fingerprints at the scene of Allison Kerry's death on a bullet casing lodged between her body and the trap. In Saw V, he was present at Gideon Meat Packing when the FBI rescued Mark Hoffman and Corbett Denlon. Fisk is also seen in flashbacks with Hoffman at the scene of Seth Baxter's death and was later told by Hoffman to keep him in the loop about the Jigsaw killings.

Dr. Heffner

• Portrayed by James Van Patten
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw VI, Saw 3D
• Status: Deceased

Dr. Heffner was the medical examiner that performed the autopsy of John, in the beginning of Saw IV. He appeared briefly in Saw VI, where he told Agent Perez, Erickson and Hoffman that he performed all of Jigsaw's victims autopsy and also confirmed to them that Seth Baxter's trap was not done by Jigsaw. He noted that a different knife was used in his trap/murder to cut the "jigsaw puzzle piece" from his flesh. In Saw 3D, Dr. Heffner was killed by Hoffman, who had hid inside a body bag in the morgue in order to sneak into the police headquarters to exact his revenge on Jill Tuck.

Ivan Landsness

• Portrayed by Marty Adams
• Appeared in: Saw IV
• Status: Deceased

Ivan appeared 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 was to be part of Daniel Rigg's second test. Following instructions, Rigg confronted and abducted Ivan, threatening him with a gun while forcing him into an adjoining motel room. There, they were both confronted with photographic evidence of Ivan's crimes, including a video recording of him raping a young girl. Enraged, Rigg instructed Ivan to place himself into the trap laid out across the bed, clamped his head in a vise, and supplied him with the tools to escape: two pushbuttons that would each drive a blade into one of his eyes. Ivan only blinded one eye before the 60-second timer ran out, and the trap ripped his limbs from his body as a result.

Lindsey Perez

• Portrayed by Athena Karkanis
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Introduced in Saw IV, Lindsey Perez was an FBI agent assigned to the Jigsaw case along with her partner, Peter Strahm. With information provided by Allison Kerry before her murder stating that two officers might be in danger, she and Strahm performed a thorough investigation concerning the disappearances of Daniel Rigg and Mark Hoffman. As they followed the trail of Rigg's tests, it became apparent at one of the locations they came across that they themselves were being targeted by Jigsaw, as Kerry had warned. At the last building that Rigg had been at, Perez barely escaped death when Strahm pulled her out of the firing path of a harpoon (which in turn hit a crime scene photographer). Minutes later, they entered a room where they were confronted with a Billy doll and a tape meant for her. As she leaned forward to hear what the voice was saying, the Billy doll's face exploded, severely injuring her face and neck with shrapnel. In Saw V, it is implied that she died from her injuries; her last words to Strahm were "Detective Hoffman," leading to Strahm's initial suspicion regarding Hoffman.

She was revealed to be alive in Saw VI, though prominently scarred, and back on the Jigsaw investigation. Dismissive of Strahm being Jigsaw's accomplice, she and Dan Erickson investigated abnormalities in evidence found that implicated Strahm and a distorted tape made by Hoffman in creating his own trap. As soon as the tape was unscrambled, Hoffman quickly attacked, slashing Erickson's throat, using a technician as a human shield against Perez's gunshots, and fatally stabbing Perez. When Hoffman demanded who else was aware of his secret, she simply told him "everyone" before dying. Her body, and everything else in the audio lab, was set on fire to destroy evidence.

Morgan and Rex

• Portrayed by Janet Land and Ron Lea
• Appeared in: Saw IV
• Status: Alive (Morgan); Deceased (Rex)

Morgan and Rex were a married couple. Rigg suspected Rex of abusing his wife and their daughter Jane but was unable to arrest him as Morgan and Jane refused to testify against him. In frustration, Rigg punched Rex, prompting his lawyer Art to threaten him with a lawsuit. Hoffman interceded, claiming Rigg was acting in self-defense and the matter was dropped. Rex and Morgan were later put into a Jigsaw test as part of Rigg's game. The pair were locked back to back in a harness, their bodies impaled with several long spikes. A tape left for Morgan informed her that she could free herself by removing the spikes but would kill Rex in the act; the spikes pierced major blood vessels on Rex's body. When Rigg found the pair, Rex was dead and Morgan was unconscious, having removed all but one spike. He gave her the key to the harness and told her she would have to save herself, then set off a fire alarm to alert the authorities to her presence. When found by Strahm and Perez, Morgan said that Rigg had saved her. The directors cut of the film shows Rigg removing the final spike himself.

Peter Strahm

FBI Agent Peter Strahm

• Portrayed by Scott Patterson
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Peter Strahm was an FBI Agent assigned to the Jigsaw case. Strahm was the first to theorize that Jigsaw may have had more than one apprentice and following the murder of Allison Kerry he became obsessed with stopping the killings. Pursuing Daniel Rigg as he engaged in his own game, Strahm eventually found Jigsaw and Amanda's corpses and killed Jeff Denlon in self defense. Strahm continued his pursuit of the final apprentice but was captured and placed in a game set to kill him but managed to escape. Suspicious of Hoffman, Strahm continued his investigation but was crushed to death in a trap when he again failed to follow the rules. Hoffman subsequently frames Strahm as the last apprentice, placing his mobile phone at a Jigsaw crime scene and using his recovered, severed-hand to place fingerprints on Jigsaw victims and traps. Though his partner Perez and boss Erickson both discover his innocence, they are murdered by Hoffman before they can act on the information and Hoffman once again plants his fingerprints at the scene, leaving Strahm as the suspected final Jigsaw apprentice.

Trevor

• Portrayed by Kevin Rushton
• Appeared in: Saw IV, Saw 3D
• Status: Deceased

Trevor appeared in Saw IV as a victim placed in a trap with Art Blank. He awoke with eyes sewn shut. He unknowingly had a key stuck to the back of his neck that would have freed both himself and Art, whose lips were sewn shut. Trevor attacked Art thinking he was a threat, but Art killed Trevor, retrieved the key and saved himself from the device they were chained to. Saw 3D revealed that it was Lawrence Gordon who sewed his eyes shut, and presumably Art's mouth.

Saw V

Ashley Kazon

• Portrayed by Laura Gordon
• Appeared in: Saw V
• Status: Deceased

Ashley was a test subject in a game in Saw V, which involved five participants. In the first room she was the first to wake up and comprehend what was happening, warning the other victims not to move. In the first game, Ashley was unable to get the key to free herself in time due to the rest of the group struggling to get their keys, which resulted in her decapitation. It was later revealed that she was a fire inspector and she had taken a bribe to write a false report on a fatal-fire that Mallick set on an empty house and killing eight people, declaring it an accident, which later cost Ashley her job.

Brit Steddison

• Portrayed by Julie Benz
• Appeared in: Saw V
• Status: Alive

Brit was the victim of Jigsaw's game in Saw V. The vice president of a real estate company, Brit was placed in a series of four traps along with four other people. The five victims believed that one person would have to die in each room in order for the others to move ahead; Brit fatally stabbed one of them herself in the third room. In the final room, though, she realized that the group could have worked together so that everyone would survive to the end. She and Mallick, the only other person to reach this point, determined that the members of the group were connected through a building fire, which she had orchestrated and which killed eight people. Brit and Mallick were forced to injure themselves severely in order to obtain enough blood to open the exit door. As she crawled from the room and Mallick passed out, Dan Erickson found her and called for medical assistance.

Charles Saumn

• Portrayed by Carlo Rota
• Appeared in: Saw V
• Status: Deceased

Charles, a reporter, was a victim in the main game of Saw V alongside four other people. He was shown to be intelligent and to possess knowledge about the other victims and their mutual involvement in an arson scam. He attacked Mallick in two tests to obtain a key and ensure his survival but he was attacked by Luba with a metal bar, left to die as the other three victims moved to safety from the explosive devices in the room. Charles realized, too late, that the victims were supposed to work together and that they could have all survived the traps. The explosives detonated and killed Charles. Charles had been writing a report about the arson of the building Mallick burned down, but inevitably buried the story to serve whatever cynical needs of his own. It was also revealed at the end that, although leading on that he didn't know Saumn, Mallick actually did know about him from the initial investigation.

Dan Erickson

• Portrayed by Mark Rolston
• Appeared in: Saw V, Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Dan Erickson was an FBI agent in charge of the Jigsaw case. He relieved Peter Strahm of duty following his narrow escape from a Jigsaw trap and grew increasingly wary of him as Strahm became obsessed with Jigsaw. After he was informed by Hoffman that Strahm believed there to be another Jigsaw accomplice, Erickson placed a trace on Strahm's mobile phone to find him. Going to the phones location, Erickson found a Jigsaw facility and a heavily injured Brit and Mallick, victims of a current game, before calling for paramedics. In Saw VI, Erickson returned alongside Lindsey Perez, having helped her fake her death for her own safety, to investigate Strahm's apparent link to Jigsaw. As they investigated, Erickson and Perez displayed suspicion of Hoffman, believing evidence implicating Strahm had been planted.

Once the distortion was removed from the Jigsaw-style tape found at the Seth Baxter trap, Hoffman was revealed as the true accomplice. He lashed out violently, severing Erickson's jugular vein and stabbing Perez repeatedly before setting the audio lab on fire to finish them off and destroy the evidence.

Luba Gibbs

• Portrayed by Meagan Good
• Appeared in: Saw V
• Status: Deceased

Luba, a city planner, was a victim in the main game of Saw V, alongside four other people. Surviving the first trap, Luba assaulted Charles after he attacked Mallick, leaving Charles to die when explosive devices in the room detonated. Luba made it to the third game but she was stabbed in the neck by Brit who "didn't trust her" and her corpse was used as an electrical conductor to activate the door to the final trap. Luba was revealed to have played a role in an arson scam that killed eight people, an event that linked all the victims of the game. She had accepted bribes from a sports team owned by her father, Richard Gibbs, to allow a stadium to be built on the site of the building Mallick burned down.

Mallick Scott

• Portrayed by Greg Bryk
• Appeared in: Saw V, Saw 3D
• Status: Alive

Mallick, an arsonist and heroin addict, was one of five victims in the most prominent game in Saw V. Suspicious of the other victims, Mallick managed to make it through most of the traps that were seemingly designed to kill off one of the victims per phase. He was saved by Luba in one test at the expense of Charles' life but she turned on him in another trap. Mallick was rescued by Brit who murdered Luba and the pair used Luba's corpse to complete that phase of the game. In the final test, Mallick understood his connection to the other victims that was through an incident, orchestrated by Brit, in which he burned down a supposedly abandoned building, killing eight people and leaving him guilt-ridden. Mallick and Brit, realizing that the victims had been meant to work together to reach the final game, were forced to bi-sect their arms in a saw to provide enough blood to the device and end the game in time. The game over, Mallick passed out from blood loss as Brit crawled out of the room.

In Saw 3D, Mallick appears in Bobby Dagen's support group, wearing a cast on his injured arm.

Pamela Jenkins

• Portrayed by Samantha Lemole
• Appeared in: Saw V, Saw: The Video Game, Saw VI
• Status: Alive

Pamela is a reporter following the Jigsaw killings who first appears in Saw V, attending a press conference held by Mark Hoffman. In Saw VI she begins pursuing Jill Tuck for information about Jigsaw, presenting her with a letter found at an earlier Jigsaw crime-scene, later revealed to be that given by Hoffman to Amanda. She is kidnapped and placed in a cell opposite of Tara and Brent's with a message telling her that she is there as punishment for sensationalizing his story and twisting his message for her own gain, and will be forced to "experience the meaning of sacrifice" and "see the consequence for those who unjustly hurt others". At the end of William Easton's game, he is confronted by Pamela, who is revealed to be his sister, and the family of a man whose medical insurance had been denied by William, in part leading to his death. The man's son activates a device which kills William as Pamela watches. Pamela also appears in Saw: The Video Game, providing information to another journalist, Oswald McGullicuty, who planned to write a book and not credit Pamela. Knowing this, Pamela steals all his notes, preventing him from writing the book, in order to write a book of her own. Despite her relationship to William Easton, the game and films show her last name as Jenkins.

Seth Baxter

• Portrayed by Joris Jarsky
• Appeared in: Saw V, Saw VI(flashback)
• Status: Deceased

Seth Baxter was the boyfriend and murderer of Hoffman's younger sister. After serving five years of a life sentence in prison, he is released on a technicality. 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. In order to avoid being killed by a swinging pendulum blade, he is told, he must put his hands into two presses and push the starter buttons to crush them. Even though he does so, the pendulum still descends and slices him in half as Hoffman watches through a peephole. Seth appears in flashbacks in Saw VI, where the FBI, investigating Peter Strahm's connection to Jigsaw, discover that the trap had not, in fact, been done by Jigsaw, as Hoffman used a knife with serrated edge to carve the jigsaw piece into Baxter's body instead of the surgical quality blade used by John, a detail pointed out by Dr. Hefner, who was the mortician for every dead Jigsaw victim.

Saw VI

Addy and Allen

• Portrayed by Janelle Hutchison and Shawn Ahmed.
• Appeared in: Saw VI, Saw 3D (Addy)
• Status: Alive (Addy); Deceased (Allen)

Addy and Allen, William Easton's secretary and file clerk, were victims forced to take part in his second game. They stood on retractable ledges with barbed wire nooses around their necks and with their hands tied so they could not free themselves, while William held the ends of two chains connected to the ledges. In order to move on, he would have to drop one chain and let that person die. He was presented with information that Addy was diabetic and in poor health but had a family, while Allen was in good health but had no loved ones to leave behind. The chains were gradually reeled in, making it harder for William to keep holding them both; he finally chose to save Addy, while the wire noose cut Allen's throat and strangled him to death when his ledge retracted.

In Saw 3D, Addy was part of Bobby Dagen's self-help group meeting.

Brent and Tara

• Portrayed by Devon Bostick and Shauna MacDonald
• Appeared in: Saw VI, Saw 3D (Tara)
• Status: Alive

Brent and Tara were the teenage son and widow of a man named Harold Abbott whose health insurance policy was revoked by William Easton on a technicality, contributing to his death. They were captured and placed in one of two cages at the end of William's series of tests, with Pamela Jenkins in the other. Once William reached the end, Tara and Brent were given the choice of sparing his life or ending it. Despite expressing anger for her husband's death, Tara listened to the pleas for mercy from both William and Pamela and could not bring herself to kill William. However, Brent could not forgive him and triggered the device himself, causing a group of needles to swing down into William's back and inject him with hydrofluoric acid. Pamela, Tara, and Brent watched in horror as he dissolved from the inside out.

Tara appeared in Saw 3D at Bobby Dagen's self-help group meeting. Devon Bostick was offered to return as Brent, but turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with Hidden 3D.

Carousel Room Victims

• Portrayed by: James Gilbert (Aaron), Darius McCrary (Dave), Larissa Gomes (Emily), Melanie Scrofano (Gena), Shawn Mathieson (Josh), Karen Cliche (Shelby)
• Appeared in: Saw VI, Saw 3D (Emily)
• Status: Deceased (Aaron, Dave, Gena, and Josh); Alive (Emily and Shelby)

Aaron, Dave, Emily, Gena, Josh, and Shelby (collectively referred to as "The Dog Pit" by their boss, William Easton) were six of William's junior associates, who did the investigative work as a teamed unit to weed out health insurance applications and claims that could be denied. They were placed into the last of William's four tests, chained to a carousel and facing a shotgun mounted on a mechanical winch. Just as their work resulted in 2/3 of all applications being denied or prematurely terminated, William could choose only 1/3 of the group of six--two of them to be saved by pushing buttons that would drive spikes into his hand, while the other four would die. If he did nothing, all six would be killed. Each argued and accused one another of trying to win William's favor as he struggled with his decisions. Ultimately he chose to save Emily, a mother of two, and Shelby, whose parents were sick and needed her to take care of them. Aaron, Gena, Dave, and Josh were left to die in that order. The carousel stopped on Aaron first, making him the first to die; before it did so, he stated "I am the one who should live", in accordance with the insurance company's policy. Gena died second and was the third person the carousel stopped on; she insisted that she was pregnant while everyone opposed her and called her a liar. Dave died third as the fourth round of the carousel stopped on him; he tried to bribe William for his life. Josh became outraged and angry at William for choosing Shelby instead of him, criticizing him and shouting for William to look him in the eye as he became the last to die on the carousel.

In Saw 3D Emily was part of Bobby Dagen's survivor group meeting.

Debbie

• Portrayed by Caroline Cave
• Appeared in: Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Debbie was the attorney for Umbrella Health and William Easton. She was kidnapped and placed in William's third test, with a device strapped to her chest which would launch a spear through her head unless she reached the end of a steel-cage maze in 90 seconds. William had to help her, diverting jets of scalding steam away from her path and onto himself, severely burning him. After reaching the end of the maze, she discovered that to escape the device she would need a key sewn into William's flesh. She attacked him with a nearby circular saw but was unable to retrieve the key before her time ran out; the device activated and fell to her death.

Eddie

• Portrayed by Marty Moreau
• Appeared in: Saw VI

• Status: Deceased

Eddie is a predatory lending banker, who took part in a test in Saw VI, along with his co-worker Simone, in which they were placed in adjoining cells. He wore a head harness with screws poised at the temples, and had a knife and a meat cleaver on hand. A balance scale was placed between his and Simone's cell; He along with Simone had to be the person to cut off the most of their body flesh, while the other would be killed by the screws boring into his/her skull. Eddie, being overweight, sliced several chunks of flesh from his stomach, but Simone severed her left arm and tipped the scale in her favor, leading to Eddie's death.

Hank

• Portrayed by Gerry Mendicino
• Appeared in: Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Hank was a janitor for Umbrella Health, working for William Easton. He was kidnapped and placed in the first of William's four tests, suspended in a vice-like trap which would crush either his or William's chest, leaving only one survivor. Jigsaw informed them that every breath they took would cause the vice to tighten and that Hank was a smoker, despite a history of health problems. Though William encouraged Hank to hold his breath he was unable to do so, breathing heavily until the vice crushed and killed him, freeing William.

Harold Abbott

• Portrayed by George Newbern
• Appeared in: Saw VI
• Status: Deceased

Harold was the husband of Tara and father of Brent. Flashbacks throughout Saw VI reveal that his health insurance policy was revoked by William Easton due to a discrepancy found on his application, and he would later die from heart disease. Tara and Brent, his widow and son, are placed in a game that puts William's life at stake. Brent kills him by activating a trap which injects hydrofluoric acid into his body, as an act of revenge for William's role in Harold's death.

Simone

• Portrayed by Tanedra Howard
• Appeared in: Saw VI, Saw 3D

• Status: Alive

Simone is a predatory lending banker, who took part in a test along with her co-worker Eddie in Saw VI. They were placed in adjoining cells. Since they had figuratively extracted their "pound of flesh" from loan recipients who they knew could never pay them back, they would literally have to do the same in order to survive. She wore a head harness with screws poised at the temples, and had a knife and a meat cleaver on hand. A balance scale was placed between her and Eddie's cell; whichever captive cut off the most weight in body parts and threw them onto the scale in sixty seconds would live, while the other would be killed by the screws boring into his/her skull. Eddie, being overweight, sliced several chunks of flesh from his stomach, but Simone who is very slender, realized she had no other choice but to severe her arm, which quickly tipped the scale in her favor. Simone survived and was later questioned by Hoffman and the FBI in her hospital room. She violently retaliates toward Hoffman when he asks her if she learned from her experience, asking "What the fuck am I supposed to learn from THIS?!" while displaying her bandaged arm stump.

Simone appears in Saw 3D at Bobby Dagen's survivor group meeting. She berates Sydney for her cowardice, saying that it shouldn't have taken a trap to leave her husband, and states that her test had taught her nothing and the damage from her survival has only amplified her bitterness towards life, especially since her appearance in the previous film.

William Easton was an insurance executive at Umbrella Health who was a target of Jigsaw's tests. His company was responsible for John Kramer's medical coverage which denied him funding for experimental treatment of his cancer and he had helped fund Jill Tuck's rehab clinic.

Completing his tests, he discovered himself in a fifth test, which was not meant for him but for the surviving family of a man whose coverage had been canceled by William. Though he and his captured sister, Pamela Jenkins, were able to appeal to the wifes humanity and spare William, her son activated the device which impaled William on a bed of needles which pumped hydrofluoric acid into his body, dissolving his body in half and killing him.

• Appeared in: Saw 3D
• Status: Alive (Brad and Ryan); Deceased (Dina)

These three victims were placed in a storefront window at a public shopping center. Brad and Ryan were chained by the wrists to opposite ends of a worktable, while Dina was suspended above its center. A movable carriage with three razor wheels - one facing each man, a third aimed at Dina - was attached to the table. In the Tape, it is said that Dina manipulated both of their affections for her in order to coerce them into stealing things for her. Since she had claimed to love each man, they would have the chance to fight for her love and their survival. In order to free her, one would have to push the carriage to the other's end within 60 seconds, killing him; alternatively, they could spare each other and Dina would die once the timer ran out. After a brief fight in which Brad was slightly wounded, Ryan offered a truce and they chose to save themselves and Dina was cut in half by the center wheel. Jon Cor's character was originally written to die, but was changed during filming. During commentary on the recently released dvd/blu-ray, it is revealed that Brad and Ryan are the two men in pigmasks who accompany Dr. Gordon at the end.

Three of his tests each lead to the death of one staffer; in the next, he must pull out two of his teeth in order to obtain the combination to the door leading to Joyce. For the final test, he must undergo the ordeal that he claimed to have endured in his book: drive two meathooks through his pectoral muscles, then haul himself up on the attached chains to connect two extension cords and shut off the electrified wire around Joyce's platform.
