The main character of ''Saw 3D''. Bobby is a writer who realized that Jigsaw victims could make a lot of money by telling their story -- if they weren't so traumatized by the experience.

Thanks to his lie, Bobby is ForcedToWatch as Joyce suffers one of the most brutal deaths in the entire series.]]
* BullyingADragon: Emphatically so. Impersonating a victim of a serial killer who victimizes frauds was only ever going to end one way.
* {{Determinator}}: Bobby is an asshole for lying, but he was fully willing to do what it took to keep his friends and wife alive, even if that meant ripping out his own back teeth and recreating the trap he described in the book that had gotten him there in the first place.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While Bobby's plan to make money isn't exactly terrible at a glance, he didn't make sure that Jigsaw was either behind bars or death before publishing his fake story. Even that would have been risky, since Jigsaw's accomplices (none of whom were known or identified by the police at the time) would have taken notice of him too.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: To foreshadow the fact that Bobby's a liar (which isn't shown for quite a few minutes until his trial begins), his trap is nowhere to be actually seen in the flashback to it. Given how the series almost always shows traps in action, this is a clue that Bobby's made-up game never happened in reality.
* FunWithAcronyms: Invoked with the title of his book, "S.U.R.V.I.V.E.", which stands for each of the lessons he claims he learned from his fake Jigsaw trap experience: "'''S'''tart your life anew", "'''U'''nderstand your problems", "'''R'''edefine your priorities", "'''V'''erify your self-worth through commitment", "'''I'''gnore your detractors", "'''V'''alue your loved ones" and "'''E'''mbrace every day as if it is your last". As an IronicEcho, each of these phrases are written on walls, doors and even a staircase at his trial.
* HappilyMarried: After getting fame for his false survival story against Jigsaw, he has a happy marriage with the woman he loves. Too bad the "happy" part was short-lived after he and anyone associated with him gets captured for one of Jigsaw's games. [[spoiler:Bobby ultimately fails at saving all of them.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His final test involves recreating the trap he lied about surviving in the first place: hoisting himself up by chains hooked through his chest muscles to stop a trap from springing. [[spoiler:His failure to recreate the trap as he described it cost him dearly.]] There were, however, several things he could have done instead that would have made the trap rather trivial to complete (for instance, the hooks were big enough for him to simply stand in), which was more than likely intentional on Jigsaw's part.
* IronicEcho: He created an acronym title for the book about his fake story with Jigsaw (S.U.R.V.I.V.E.), which supposedly imparts the lessons he learned from the apparent experience. When he actually takes part in a Jigsaw game, the phrases the acronym was meant to stand for are scrawled over various walls, doors and a staircase that he passes through, partially because they embody the values Jigsaw tries to instill in his victims.
* ItsForABook: Inverted. After seeing people explaining their own experiences in Jigsaw traps, Bobby uses them to make up his own experience as the theme for a book, down to scarring his own pectorals like the scars of said victims to make it seem more real. The success of the book kickstarts the film's main game, where Bobby is put in an actual trial by Hoffman long after Jigsaw took notice of him.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. Although he lied about being a survivor of one of Jigsaw's traps [[OnlyInItForTheMoney simply to become rich and famous]], he survives his trial (which was the last one Hoffman ran) with only a few injuries. That being said, [[spoiler:his incompetence at successfully completing most of the traps lead to the deaths of his staff, best friend and wife]], and in all likelihood his career as a writer would be over with him being exposed as a fraud.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After lying about surviving his own Jigsaw game, John posthumously gets even by making him actually experience the games, only not to save himself, but to save those close to him. [[spoiler:Bobby ultimately proves incompetent with his challenges, as everyone he tried to save ends up dying grisly deaths, leaving him with nothing but guilt.]]
* LiarRevealed: While he survives his trial, it's likely that he was publicly exposed as a liar afterwards.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason why he published his false story about being a victim of Jigsaw. It would allow him to earn quick cash.
* SymbolicMutilation: His final test is to recreate the trap he made up: piercing his pecs and hosting himself up to connect wires. [[spoiler:It doesn't work when he does it exactly that way]], but the hooks' size and design imply that he also had to think logically, since he couldn't have known if the trap would have been actually possible in reality.
* TooDumbToLive: Let's be honest, lying about being caught by a SerialKiller who specifically targets those who are guilty of something, including liars, is not a very smart move, especially while said criminal is ''active''. Bobby should have known that his name would eventually come next, or have at least published the story after the events of the third movie, when Jigsaw was already dead.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While ''Saw 3D'' ends after his final test, Bobby's ultimate fate after his game is left unknown, since he remained in the psychiatric hospital after the SWAT team who came to stop the game was killed. Neither ''Jigsaw'' nor ''Spiral'' add any information about his aftermath, although the script of one of the original drafted films from which ''3D'' derived involved Bobby being taken to a hospital and meeting Gordon at the end.

Bobby's best friend (Cale), lawyer (Suzanne), publicist (Nina) and wife (Joyce), kidnapped by Jigsaw for being complicit in his falsified story about surviving a Jigsaw game.
----
* AmoralAttorney: Since Suzanne was Bobby's lawyer during his scheme, handling the legal work, she counts as this as she knew she was defending his lies for money.
* AssholeVictim: All of them except Joyce, who was the only one kept in the dark about Bobby's lies and was only presented as a good person.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
** [[spoiler:Nina gets her throat pierced by metal rods, Suzanne's face is impaled by metal spikes and Joyce gets burned alive by a ''brazen bull'' for Bobby's failures, which is horrifying for someone who did nothing wrong.]]
** It's fortunately averted for [[spoiler:Cale, who simply gets hanged]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: While Joyce enjoyed the money from Bobby's false story, she didn't know he was lying. As a result, apart from being his unwitting wife, she literally did nothing to warrant being a victim of Jigsaw.
* NoFullNameGiven: Joyce is the only one of the victims with a stated surname.
* SwallowTheKey: In the Silence Circle, Bobby has to free Nina with a key in her stomach, which he has to pick with a fishhook. Due to this, he has to be careful when pulling it out, as the hook can tear her apart from the inside.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Nina's trap advances faster if she screams during Bobby's attempts at saving her. Despite having a right to be afraid, Bobby repeatedly warns her to not scream and was doing well in fishing out the key to her survival. She keeps screaming regardless and [[spoiler:promptly dies]], causing Bobby to lampshade her idiocy [[spoiler:post-mortem]].
** In addition, Suzanne and Cale could also count, as they should have know taking part in this scheme would also make them targets of Jigsaw.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A deleted scene shows that Cale was the one who suggested Bobby to pretend to be a Jigsaw survivor, thus kickstarting the movie's main game.

Two teenaged victims of the opening trap in ''3D'', the Public Execution Trap. Deceived by a two-timing gold digger named Dina, they decide she's not worth it and let her die to save their lives instead.
----
* CockFight: They spend a good minute trying to kill each other, [[SubvertedTrope until they realize]] that Dina was a two-timing, backstabbing adulterer who was playing them both, causing them to put BrosBeforeHoes and get her cut in half.
* FaceHeelTurn: WordOfGod claims that they were the two pig-masked men who [[spoiler:helped Lawrence in subduing Hoffman]].
* LoveTriangle: They were both involved in relationships with Dina, so in the Public Execution Trap, Jigsaw gives them the choice to either attempt to kill each other with a table of saws in order to "prove who is the alpha male", or leave Dina to die. However, unlike most examples of this trope, the love triangle isn't resolved in favor of either "competitor", as when Dina's loyalty switches between whoever happens to be winning, both of them are convinced to call it a draw and allow Dina to be killed instead.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Invoked and then subverted. They can either fight to the death over the woman they both love or let her die instead. Realizing that she doesn't care which one of them dies so long as one of them saves her, they agree to let her die so both of them can survive.
* NoFullNameGiven: Their surnames are never stated.

The girlfriend of Brad and Ryan, who manipulated them into committing crimes for her and played them against each other.
----
* AssholeVictim: She played her boyfriends against each other and got them to steal things for her to try and impress her. In the trap, she doesn't hesitate to try and get both of her boyfriends to kill the other so her own life can be saved. This eventually backfires on her as Brad and Ryan take notice of it and decide to sacrifice her instead.
* FanDisservice: Dina is probably the biggest fanservice material in the whole franchise... until she's sawn in half and her intestines spill out, anyway.
* LiarRevealed: She essentially exposes through an OpinionFlipFlop that she's been playing both Brad and Ryan for money and comfort at the same time, thus cheating on both of them. Brad and Ryan decide to stop fighting in response, resulting in Dina's death.
* ManipulativeBitch: She manipulated Brad and Ryan to steal for her, and tries to get each of them to kill the other so her own life can be spared.
* NoFullNameGiven: Her surname is never stated.
* OpinionFlipFlop: When Brad starts to get the upper hand, Dina roots for him to kill Ryan. When Ryan starts to turn the tables, she starts rooting for Ryan. This gets them to see that she really doesn't love either of them, which prompts them to let her die.
* SayingTooMuch: Dina makes a mistake that proves fatal to her: she first cheers for Brad when it looks like Brad might win, but then when Ryan starts winning she immediately switches and starts cheering for Ryan. The fact that Dina is willing to "love" whichever man kills the other causes Ryan to realize that she doesn't genuinely love ''either'' man (or she would have been cheering only for the one she loved), so he voluntarily gives up the struggle and convinces Brad to do the same, and Dina is killed instead.
* TooDumbToLive: Had she not rooted for Brad and Ryan to kill each other, she may have lived.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He gets caught in a booby trap that slices his leg into three pieces.]]
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: His possible fate after Anna destroys the keys for his last test. However, not only is Ryan implied to have taken it in stride, he possibly bled to death before dehydration or starvation would do him in.]]
* AssholeVictim: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. [[spoiler: Back in high school, his drunken, reckless behavior caused a car accident that killed two of his best friends and another driver, then he incriminated one of his said friends for it. As if this wasn't enough, he committed other crimes afterwards, like selling credits that could not be paid, selling cocaine, not paying state taxes, and cheating on his two wives. While pretty bad things, he's still one of the ''least'' reprehensible of the people in his game,[[labelnote:*]]Mitch knowingly sold a faulty motorcycle that got John's nephew killed, Anna killed her baby and framed her husband who proceeded to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]], and Carly got an asthmatic woman she stole a purse from killed due to taking her inhaler. Logan is the only one less reprehensible since his only crime was accidentally mislabeling the x-ray that could have detected John's cancer earlier.[[/labelnote]] and none of that was really worthy of him bleeding out on a dirty barn floor.]]
* CallBack: Him trying to break open a door with a shovel is similar to a scene in ''Saw II'', where Xavier does the same with a studded baseball bat.
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: [[spoiler: When he's faced with the dilemma of losing his leg to save Anna and Mitch from the Grain Silo Trap, he adamantly refuses at first. After hearing enough of their desperate pleas, however, Ryan caves and gives up his leg.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When he realizes he's doomed, he sincerely apologizes for everything bad he's done in life and lies down quietly next to Anna's corpse. The fact his corpse is in the same position in the present implies he didn't try to escape his fate (not that he could).]]
* FatalFlaw: His temper and impulsiveness. The first instance of this is when he ignores Anna and Mitch's suggestions to not go through a door that Jigsaw warned them not to open. He loses a leg for this. The second and fatal instance of this is when [[spoiler:Anna decides to kill him, believing that's the answer to the riddle behind their final test. Rather than try to reason with her, he immediately begins to panic and calls her a "psycho bitch," provoking her to finalize her decision to kill him.]]
* FlippingTheBird: In the barn game's first trap, he does this towards the speaker from which the instructions are told, complete with a loud "FUCK YOU!".
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Ryan kills Carly when she refuses to make a critical decision, which would kill everyone in the game. When Mitch and Anna chew him out for it, he points this out to justify himself.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Ryan is a very unpleasant man who's easy to anger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ryan is fairly abrasive, unfaithful to his two wives, reckless, and irresponsible. But unlike many of the other Barn victims, he is not nearly as self-absorbed or ill-intentioned. [[spoiler:The deaths he caused are genuinely accidental, albeit brought on by his own recklessness. He also cuts off his own leg to save Mitch and Anna, then refuses to shoot Anna at the end. He even tries to warn her at the last second what will happen if she fires the gun.]]

Too bad the "happy" part was short-lived after he and anyone associated with him gets captured for one of Jigsaw's games. [[spoiler:Bobby ultimately fails at saving all of them.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His final test involves recreating the trap he lied about surviving in the first place: hoisting himself up by chains hooked through his chest muscles to stop a trap from springing. [[spoiler:His failure to recreate the trap as he described it cost him dearly.]] There were, however, several things he could have done instead that would have made the trap rather trivial to complete (for instance, the hooks were big enough for him to simply stand in), which was more than likely intentional on Jigsaw's part.
* IronicEcho: He created an acronym title for the book about his fake story with Jigsaw (S.U.R.V.I.V.E.), which supposedly imparts the lessons he learned from the apparent experience. When he actually takes part in a Jigsaw game, the phrases the acronym was meant to stand for are scrawled over various walls, doors and a staircase that he passes through, partially because they embody the values Jigsaw tries to instill in his victims.
* ItsForABook: Inverted. After seeing people explaining their own experiences in Jigsaw traps, Bobby uses them to make up his own experience as the theme for a book, down to scarring his own pectorals like the scars of said victims to make it seem more real. The success of the book kickstarts the film's main game, where Bobby is put in an actual trial by Hoffman long after Jigsaw took notice of him.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. Although he lied about being a survivor of one of Jigsaw's traps [[OnlyInItForTheMoney simply to become rich and famous]], he survives his trial (which was the last one Hoffman ran) with only a few injuries. That being said, [[spoiler:his incompetence at successfully completing most of the traps lead to the deaths of his staff, best friend and wife]], and in all likelihood his career as a writer would be over with him being exposed as a fraud.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After lying about surviving his own Jigsaw game, John posthumously gets even by making him actually experience the games, only not to save himself, but to save those close to him. [[spoiler:Bobby ultimately proves incompetent with his challenges, as everyone he tried to save ends up dying grisly deaths, leaving him with nothing but guilt.]]
* LiarRevealed: While he survives his trial, it's likely that he was publicly exposed as a liar afterwards.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The reason why he published his false story about being a victim of Jigsaw. It would allow him to earn quick cash.
* SymbolicMutilation: His final test is to recreate the trap he made up: piercing his pecs and hosting himself up to connect wires. [[spoiler:It doesn't work when he does it exactly that way]], but the hooks' size and design imply that he also had to think logically, since he couldn't have known if the trap would have been actually possible in reality.
* TooDumbToLive: Let's be honest, lying about being caught by a SerialKiller who specifically targets those who are guilty of something, including liars, is not a very smart move, especially while said criminal is ''active''. Bobby should have known that his name would eventually come next, or have at least published the story after the events of the third movie, when Jigsaw was already dead.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While ''Saw 3D'' ends after his final test, Bobby's ultimate fate after his game is left unknown, since he remained in the psychiatric hospital after the SWAT team who came to stop the game was killed. Neither ''Jigsaw'' nor ''Spiral'' add any information about his aftermath, although the script of one of the original drafted films from which ''3D'' derived involved Bobby being taken to a hospital and meeting Gordon at the end.

!!!'''Played By:''' Dean Armstrong (Cale), Rebecca Marshall (Suzanne), Naomi Snieckus (Nina), Gina Holden (Joyce)
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/Saw3D''
Bobby's best friend (Cale), lawyer (Suzanne), publicist (Nina) and wife (Joyce), kidnapped by Jigsaw for being complicit in his falsified story about surviving a Jigsaw game.
----
* AmoralAttorney: Since Suzanne was Bobby's lawyer during his scheme, handling the legal work, she counts as this as she knew she was defending his lies for money.
* AssholeVictim: All of them except Joyce, who was the only one kept in the dark about Bobby's lies and was only presented as a good person.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
** [[spoiler:Nina gets her throat pierced by metal rods, Suzanne's face is impaled by metal spikes and Joyce gets burned alive by a ''brazen bull'' for Bobby's failures, which is horrifying for someone who did nothing wrong.]]
** It's fortunately averted for [[spoiler:Cale, who simply gets hanged]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: While Joyce enjoyed the money from Bobby's false story, she didn't know he was lying. As a result, apart from being his unwitting wife, she literally did nothing to warrant being a victim of Jigsaw.
* NoFullNameGiven: Joyce is the only one of the victims with a stated surname.
* SwallowTheKey: In the Silence Circle, Bobby has to free Nina with a key in her stomach, which he has to pick with a fishhook. Due to this, he has to be careful when pulling it out, as the hook can tear her apart from the inside.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Nina's trap advances faster if she screams during Bobby's attempts at saving her. Despite having a right to be afraid, Bobby repeatedly warns her to not scream and was doing well in fishing out the key to her survival. She keeps screaming regardless and [[spoiler:promptly dies]], causing Bobby to lampshade her idiocy [[spoiler:post-mortem]].
** In addition, Suzanne and Cale could also count, as they should have know taking part in this scheme would also make them targets of Jigsaw.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: A deleted scene shows that Cale was the one who suggested Bobby to pretend to be a Jigsaw survivor, thus kickstarting the movie's main game.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/Saw3D''
Two teenaged victims of the opening trap in ''3D'', the Public Execution Trap. Deceived by a two-timing gold digger named Dina, they decide she's not worth it and let her die to save their lives instead.
----
* CockFight: They spend a good minute trying to kill each other, [[SubvertedTrope until they realize]] that Dina was a two-timing, backstabbing adulterer who was playing them both, causing them to put BrosBeforeHoes and get her cut in half.
* FaceHeelTurn: WordOfGod claims that they were the two pig-masked men who [[spoiler:helped Lawrence in subduing Hoffman]].
* LoveTriangle: They were both involved in relationships with Dina, so in the Public Execution Trap, Jigsaw gives them the choice to either attempt to kill each other with a table of saws in order to "prove who is the alpha male", or leave Dina to die. However, unlike most examples of this trope, the love triangle isn't resolved in favor of either "competitor", as when Dina's loyalty switches between whoever happens to be winning, both of them are convinced to call it a draw and allow Dina to be killed instead.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Invoked and then subverted. They can either fight to the death over the woman they both love or let her die instead. Realizing that she doesn't care which one of them dies so long as one of them saves her, they agree to let her die so both of them can survive.
* NoFullNameGiven: Their surnames are never stated.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Brad and Ryan's friendship was fractured by Dina's deception, but they reconcile after their test.

!!!'''Played By:''' Anne Lee Greene
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/Saw3D''
The girlfriend of Brad and Ryan, who manipulated them into committing crimes for her and played them against each other.
----
* AssholeVictim: She played her boyfriends against each other and got them to steal things for her to try and impress her. In the trap, she doesn't hesitate to try and get both of her boyfriends to kill the other so her own life can be saved. This eventually backfires on her as Brad and Ryan take notice of it and decide to sacrifice her instead.
* FanDisservice: Dina is probably the biggest fanservice material in the whole franchise... until she's sawn in half and her intestines spill out, anyway.
* LiarRevealed: She essentially exposes through an OpinionFlipFlop that she's been playing both Brad and Ryan for money and comfort at the same time, thus cheating on both of them. Brad and Ryan decide to stop fighting in response, resulting in Dina's death.
* ManipulativeBitch: She manipulated Brad and Ryan to steal for her, and tries to get each of them to kill the other so her own life can be spared.
* NoFullNameGiven: Her surname is never stated.
* OpinionFlipFlop: When Brad starts to get the upper hand, Dina roots for him to kill Ryan. When Ryan starts to turn the tables, she starts rooting for Ryan. This gets them to see that she really doesn't love either of them, which prompts them to let her die.
* SayingTooMuch: Dina makes a mistake that proves fatal to her: she first cheers for Brad when it looks like Brad might win, but then when Ryan starts winning she immediately switches and starts cheering for Ryan. The fact that Dina is willing to "love" whichever man kills the other causes Ryan to realize that she doesn't genuinely love ''either'' man (or she would have been cheering only for the one she loved), so he voluntarily gives up the struggle and convinces Brad to do the same, and Dina is killed instead.
* TooDumbToLive: Had she not rooted for Brad and Ryan to kill each other, she may have lived.

A victim of the Murder's Trial and the tertiary protagonist of ''Jigsaw''. While he's no saint, Ryan reluctantly takes a leadership role in the Murderers' Trial with the questionable mental states of his fellow victims.
----
* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He gets caught in a booby trap that slices his leg into three pieces.]]
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: His possible fate after Anna destroys the keys for his last test. However, not only is Ryan implied to have taken it in stride, he possibly bled to death before dehydration or starvation would do him in.]]
* AssholeVictim: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. [[spoiler: Back in high school, his drunken, reckless behavior caused a car accident that killed two of his best friends and another driver, then he incriminated one of his said friends for it. As if this wasn't enough, he committed other crimes afterwards, like selling credits that could not be paid, selling cocaine, not paying state taxes, and cheating on his two wives. While pretty bad things, he's still one of the ''least'' reprehensible of the people in his game,[[labelnote:*]]Mitch knowingly sold a faulty motorcycle that got John's nephew killed, Anna killed her baby and framed her husband who proceeded to [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]], and Carly got an asthmatic woman she stole a purse from killed due to taking her inhaler. Logan is the only one less reprehensible since his only crime was accidentally mislabeling the x-ray that could have detected John's cancer earlier.[[/labelnote]] and none of that was really worthy of him bleeding out on a dirty barn floor.]]
* CallBack: Him trying to break open a door with a shovel is similar to a scene in ''Saw II'', where Xavier does the same with a studded baseball bat.
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: [[spoiler: When he's faced with the dilemma of losing his leg to save Anna and Mitch from the Grain Silo Trap, he adamantly refuses at first. After hearing enough of their desperate pleas, however, Ryan caves and gives up his leg.]]
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When he realizes he's doomed, he sincerely apologizes for everything bad he's done in life and lies down quietly next to Anna's corpse. The fact his corpse is in the same position in the present implies he didn't try to escape his fate (not that he could).]]
* FatalFlaw: His temper and impulsiveness. The first instance of this is when he ignores Anna and Mitch's suggestions to not go through a door that Jigsaw warned them not to open. He loses a leg for this. The second and fatal instance of this is when [[spoiler:Anna decides to kill him, believing that's the answer to the riddle behind their final test. Rather than try to reason with her, he immediately begins to panic and calls her a "psycho bitch," provoking her to finalize her decision to kill him.]]
* FlippingTheBird: In the barn game's first trap, he does this towards the speaker from which the instructions are told, complete with a loud "FUCK YOU!".
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Ryan kills Carly when she refuses to make a critical decision, which would kill everyone in the game. When Mitch and Anna chew him out for it, he points this out to justify himself.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Ryan is a very unpleasant man who's easy to anger.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ryan is fairly abrasive, unfaithful to his two wives, reckless, and irresponsible. But unlike many of the other Barn victims, he is not nearly as self-absorbed or ill-intentioned. [[spoiler:The deaths he caused are genuinely accidental, albeit brought on by his own recklessness. He also cuts off his own leg to save Mitch and Anna, then refuses to shoot Anna at the end. He even tries to warn her at the last second what will happen if she fires the gun.]]
* NoFullNameGiven: Like most of the other barn game victims, his surname is never stated.
* ThatLiarLies: When Carly hesitates to tell the truth about what she did. "YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE LYING!"
* VillainRespect: Implied. [[spoiler:At some point in the present, Ryan's decomposed corpse was covered with a blanket presumably from Logan, whereas Anna's is left untouched]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Mitch's attempt to just cut his finger in the first game, only to have the chain jerk him forward and spill much more blood, foreshadows his reticence to reach his hand out to pull the brake in his trap later on, [[spoiler:which ultimately dooms him]].
* {{Greed}}: [[spoiler:He knowingly sold a defective bike to a man and could only look at the cash rather than think of the consequences.]]
