Adam was a freelance photographer hired by the discharged detective David Tapp to follow Dr. Lawrence Gordon, the man he suspected of being the Jigsaw Killer. Adam was kidnapped by Jigsaw's apprentice Amanda Young and placed in a game alongside Dr. Gordon, which took place in a large dilapidated bathroom. Each of them were chained to pipes on opposite sides of the room, with a presumed dead body in the middle, and were given specific instructions on what they needed to do in order to survive. Dr. Gordon had to kill Adam by six o'clock, while Adam simply had to escape. After failing to complete their respective tasks by the deadline they were confronted by Zep Hindle, an orderly from Dr. Gordon's hospital. Adam beats Zep to death with a toilet tank lid, believing he is responsible for their abduction, and Dr. Gordon crawls away to get help, having sawed off his foot, and promised to return to Adam. While searching Zep's body for a key, Adam finds a tape recorder which reveals that Zep was a victim in the game and only following instructions in order to obtain an antidote for a poison in his blood stream. As the tape ends, the body gets up and the real Jigsaw reveals himself. When Adam tries to shoot him, he is incapacitated with an electric shock and Jigsaw seals the bathroom door, leaving Adam in the darkness of the bathroom to die. While the main assumption was that Adam simply died of thirst when his corpse was shown in Saw II, he was later shown to have been killed out of guilt by Amanda Young in a flashback in Saw III shortly after the end of the first Saw film, by suffocating him with a plastic bag.

Adam's decomposing corpse is seen in Saw II, Saw III, and Saw 3D. 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.

According to the producers of Saw, Adam’s last name was Faulkner, but the FBI documents in Saw V gave his last name as Stanheight. In the original script for Saw, Adam’s last name was Radford.

She first appears in Saw, working alongside Detectives David Tapp and Steven Sing. In Saw II she worked with Detective Eric Matthews and Officer Daniel Rigg in order to try to save Eric's son. 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.

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 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.

David Tapp was a detective assigned to investigate the earlier Jigsaw crimes. Evidence led him to suspect that Dr. Lawrence Gordon was the Jigsaw Killer. Tapp and his partner Steven Sing later found Jigsaw's warehouse, but before they could apprehend him, he activated a trap, which threatened the life of Jeff Ridenhour. Sing rushed to help the victim while Tapp attempted to arrest Jigsaw, but Jigsaw slashed Tapp's throat with a concealed blade and fled. When Sing pursued Jigsaw, he was killed by a shotgun booby trap for which Tapp blamed himself. Tapp was subsequently discharged from the force, but continued to obsess over finding Jigsaw.

Tapp monitored the Gordons' residence, still convinced that Lawrence is Jigsaw, and rushed over after hearing gunshots. There he found Alison and Diana Gordon being held captive by Zep Hindle. Zep fled and was pursued by Tapp; the chase led to an underground room where Tapp was 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 the asylum but committed suicide sometime afterwards, unable to overcome his obsession with Jigsaw. In Saw V a police memorial service is held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Tapp was among the officers honored.

John Kramer was a successful civil engineer, married to Jill Tuck and 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. Those who failed would have a jigsaw-shaped piece cut from their flesh to represent they were missing "the survival instinct". John was then nicknamed "The Jigsaw Killer", or simply "Jigsaw" by the media. Although John's throat is slashed by Jeff Denlon in Saw III, he appears in flashbacks throughout the series.

Lawrence Gordon is the man who diagnosed John Kramer's terminal cancer and was initially a suspect in the Jigsaw murder case. John targeted Lawrence for being cold and uncaring to others, and for cheating on his wife Alison by having an affair with his medical student, Carla Song. Lawrence was placed in a trap alongside Adam Stanheight and was tasked with killing him before six o'clock or his wife and daughter would be killed. He failed to do so, but severed his own foot to free himself from his shackle, and crawled away to get help, promising Adam he would bring someone back. His fate is unknown until Saw 3D, when it is revealed that Lawrence passed out after using a hot steam pipe to cauterize his ankle stump. John found him unconscious shortly after and congratulated him for surviving. He then helped Lawrence recover, and gave him a prosthetic foot.

John recruited Lawrence afterwards, and used his medical skills to prepare other traps. He prepared a variety of traps for John, such as putting the key in Michael's 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 on his behalf 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, led by Lawrence. After chaining Hoffman by the ankle to the pipes in the bathroom (which also reveals he did not return to Adam as promised), 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, and despite Hoffman’s protests, closes the door and leaving Hoffman to die in the darkness of the bathroom, with no means of escape.

Mark,[4] a 30-year-old software analyst,[4] was one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, targeted because he feigned illness to excuse himself from his responsibilities. Mark was stripped naked and informed that he had a slow-acting poison in his body, the antidote to which was locked in a safe in the room. Mark had 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 was smeared with a highly flammable jelly-like substance. Mark eventually fumbled with the candle, burning himself alive, and his charred corpse was 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 was 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 was placed in a large cage lined with a maze of razor wire and was given two hours to crawl his way to freedom; ironically if Paul wanted to live, he would be forced to cut himself again, but if he wanted to die, all he had to do was wait. Paul attempts to escape, but bleeds to death before reaching the exit. 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 was one of the first detectives assigned to the Jigsaw case. He and his partner, David Tapp, used clues from a video tape to find Jigsaw's warehouse. There, they found Jeff Ridenhour in a trap with drills aimed at his neck. Jigsaw arrived shortly after and activated the device when the officers exposed themselves, forcing them to choose between arresting him or saving Jeff. Sing shot the drills and pursued Jigsaw through the warehouse, after Jigsaw slashed Tapp's throat with a hidden wrist blade. While pursuing him, Sing accidentally activated a tripwire which triggered four overhead shotguns to discharge, killing him. Tapp blamed himself for Sing's death, which ultimately caused him to obsess over capturing Jigsaw. In Saw V a police memorial service was held honoring those who died in their effort to close the Jigsaw case; Sing was among the officers honored.

Zep was an orderly who worked at St. Eustice Hospital, where John Kramer was being treated for his cancer. He formed a bond with John while he was being treated, but John considered him to have "issues of his own".[5] Zep was 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 was instructed to hold Alison and Diana Gordon captive and kill both them and Lawrence if Lawrence failed to kill Adam by six o'clock. Lawrence failed, but Alison and Diana managed to escape when Detective Tapp arrived and chased Zep to an underground sewage system. After shooting Tapp, Zep proceeded to the site of Adam and Lawrence's test. Zep prepared to kill Lawrence since he shot Adam after the deadline, but Adam, having survived the gunshot, knocks Zep to the floor and beats him to death with a toilet tank cover, believing him to be their captor.

Throughout the film the audience is led to believe Zep is Jigsaw; it's not revealed until the end that Zep is a victim of Jigsaw's game rather than Jigsaw himself. On the DVD commentary for Saw, Leigh Whannell and James Wan stated that Zep enjoyed the sense of power he is given over others which he did not have before. Zep's decomposing corpse is later shown in Saw II, Saw III, and Saw 3D.

Amanda Young 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. She looks after John and performs an improvised brain surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, while her husband Jeff 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 kills John with a circular saw, unwittingly activating Lynn's collar. Her corpse is seen in Saw IV and Saw V. It is revealed in Saw VI that Hoffman blackmailed Amanda into killing Lynn. In Saw 3D, it is revealed that it was Dr. Lawrence Gordon who suggested her as a test subject.

Mark 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, and that Hoffman took revenge by placing him in an inescapable trap made to look like one of John's. John found out about the trap and blackmailed Hoffman into working for him, but Hoffman eventually became a willing apprentice and aided him in nearly every subsequent trap.

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 she dies, he destroys his warehouse and attempts to leave town. However, before he can leave, Hoffman is abducted by Dr. Lawrence Gordon and left to die in the bathroom from Saw.

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.

Art was a lawyer 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 appeared in a trap that pits him against another victim, Trevor. Both were chained at the neck to a winch and Art's mouth was sewn shut, as were 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. He 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. He is seen in archival footage in Saw V, and is seen in a photograph with John outside the Gideon Meatpacking Plant in the police station's evidence room in Saw 3D.

Brenda was a pimp who appears in Saw IV as a victim in Daniel Rigg's game. Art Blank had acted as her lawyer in previous criminal trials and got her acquitted. Brenda was 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 dialed the lock combination written on the gears to release her, she attacked him with a knife that had been hidden in the room. Rigg subdued her by throwing her into a mirror, and by the time the police arrived at the scene she had already died from blood loss. 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.

The chair collapsed and Cecil charged at John, who stepped aside allowing Cecil to fall into a tangle of razor wire, killing him. In Saw VI, it is shown that Cecil robbed Jill's clinic at Amanda Young's request.

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 were being targeted by Jigsaw. Lindsey barely escapes 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 Lindsey. As she leaned in to hear the tape, the Billy doll's face exploded sending shrapnel into her face and neck. 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 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. Her body, and everything else in the audio lab is set on fire to destroy the evidence.

Morgan and Rex are a married couple. Rigg suspected Rex of abusing his wife and their daughter Jane but is unable to arrest him as Morgan and Jane refused to testify against him. In frustration, Daniel Rigg punches Rex, prompting his lawyer Art to threaten him with a lawsuit. Mark Hoffman intercedes, 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 could free herself by removing the spikes but would kill Rex in the process. 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 location. When found by Agents Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, Morgan said that Rigg had saved her.

Peter Strahm is an FBI Agent assigned to the Jigsaw case. He and his partner, 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, and Lynn, in the makeshift sickroom. Strahm kills Jeff Denlon in self-defense before 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 which 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, 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 caskin below the trap and uses Strahm's severed hand to place his fingerprints at additional crime scenes. As soon as Agents Lindsey Perez and Dan Erickson unravel the deception, Hoffman murders them and again leaves Strahm's fingerprints at the scene before setting it on fire.

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. He is abducted and put into a series of six tests at the abandoned Clear Dawn Psychiatric Hospital, along with his wife Joyce 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 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 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 slams shut around Joyce and she is incinerated within it. His ultimate fate is left unknown.

These three victims are placed in a storefront window at a public shopping center. Brad and Ryan are chained by the wrists to opposite ends of a worktable, while Dina is suspended above them. A movable carriage with three saws is attached to the table. Billy the puppet informs them that Dina has manipulated both men's affections for her in order to coerce them into stealing for her. Since she claimed to love each man, they will have the chance to fight for her love and their survival. In order to free 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 die once the timer runs out. After a brief fight in which Dina tries convincing both men to kill each other, Brad is slightly wounded. Ryan then offers a truce and they allow Dina to be cut in half by the center wheel.

They are later seen at Bobby Dagen's Jigsaw survivors meeting. According to the producers' commentary, Brad and Ryan are the two men in the pig masks that help Lawrence Gordon abduct Hoffman.

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 Halloran to suspect him as the new Jigsaw. When he and his assistant, Eleanor Bonneville, find the site of the new game, Halloran ambushes them; both he 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. 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. With Halloran's confession on tape, Logan activates Halloran's collar which slices his head open.

Michael Tapp is Detective David Tapp's estranged son and one of the two main protagonists and the main playable character in Saw II: Flesh & Blood. 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, Sarah, Joseph, Carla, and Solomon 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, begins stalking Michael in order to kill him and prevent his 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. Using this information for personal gain and revenge against his father for feelings of abandonment, Michael wrote an exposé which destroyed his father's career, unwittingly aiding the drug cartel run by Henry and Joseph, and partially contributing to his father's eventual suicide.

In the finale, it is revealed that Campbell and Michael's tests had occurred concurrently, with Michael's fate left in Campbell's hands. Campbell is given the choice at the end of his own test to sacrifice himself for Michael, a stranger, or save himself at Michael's expense. If Campbell chooses himself, Michael is trapped and crushed to death by a spiked moving ceiling. If Campbell sacrifices himself, Michael survives. Jigsaw reveals that Michael's real test is to see if he had the ability to punish the corrupt (Henry and Joseph) and so he is given a choice between two doors; one leads Michael to freedom and the chance to use the evidence found by his father to print the story of Jigsaw and the drug cartel. The other door reveals a Pighead costume and an offer to help people see the truth inside themselves, implying Michael can become Jigsaw's apprentice. The choice made is not revealed to the player.

After traversing several traps, Campbell is informed that there is another subject, Michael Tapp, in the game and that only one may live. Campbell is given the choice of sacrificing himself for a stranger, who has a potentially long life ahead of him, or saving himself, knowing he has a short time left to live because of his cancer. This choice decides the fate of Michael Tapp at the end of the game.

If Campbell sacrifices himself, he gets crushed by spiked moving walls. If Campbell chooses to save himself, Michael dies and Campbell meets Jigsaw who informs him that his son is safe, having passed his own test prior to the events of the game, and all he has to do is leave through the exit. Campbell instead attempts to attack Jigsaw only to be killed by a concealed, falling scythe.
