!!''Saw 3D'' characters:

[[folder:Bobby Dagen]]
!!Bobby Dagen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_1.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/SeanPatrickFlanery

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. To this end, Bobby decides to lie about being a victim, publish a book about his "experience", and go on the talk show circuit to rake in the cash and fame. Jigsaw takes issue with this...

* AssholeVictim: By proxy. While he himself lives by the end of the film (albeit injured), [[spoiler:his friends and wife are killed due to him failing to save them]].
* BecomingTheBoast: He falsely claims to have survived one of Jigsaw's death traps, in which he put two hooks through his pectoral muscles and climbed the chains attached to them in order to pull himself up to safety. Guess what his final test is when he's put through one of Jigsaw's trials for real, with his wife Joyce's life on the line? [[spoiler:It's cruelly subverted when a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs, as the pectoral muscles simply aren't strong enough to support Bobby's full weight, and the hooks tear right out of his chest as he tries to climb the chains. 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.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While Bobby's plan to make money isn't exactly terrible at a glance, he didn't make sure that Jigsaw was either dead or behind bars before publishing his false story.
* {{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.
* {{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.
* 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.
* 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.]]
* 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 in a trap of a SerialKiller who specifically targets those who are guilty and 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.

[[caption-width-right:350:Joyce Dagen]]
->'''Played by:''' Dean Armstrong (Cale), Rebecca Marshall (Suzanne), Naomi Snieckus (Nina), Gina Holden (Joyce)

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: Joyce gets burned alive by a ''brazen bull'' for Bobby's failures, which is horrifying for someone who did nothing wrong.
* 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.
* 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 from the movie reveals that Cale was the one who suggested Bobby to pretend to be a Jigsaw survivor, thus kickstarting the main game of the movie.

[[caption-width-right:350:Ryan]]
->'''Played by:''' Sebastian Pigott (Brad), Jon Cor (Ryan)

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.

[[folder:Dina]]
!!Dina
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dina2.jpeg]]
->'''Played by:''' Anne Lee Greene

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.
* 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.

----
* AssholeVictim: Every last one of them.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:As a result of Evan failing to win his game on time, Kara gets her face disintegrated by a moving tire, Dan's arms and jaw are torn off when Evan's car goes out of control, and Evan himself is sent flying out a windshield with all the skin on his back forcibly torn off his body, bleeding to death. Averted with Jake, who is simply run over by the front of the car Evan is in.]]
* FlayedAlive: In the Horsepower Trap, Evan is superglued into the driver's seat of a car. In order to save himself and the others, he has to pull himself loose by ripping off the skin from his arms and back.
* HateCrimesAreASpecialKindOfEvil: As a group of racists, Hoffman tests them for this reason.
* NoFullNameGiven: None of them have stated surnames.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Being white supremacist skinheads, this is a given.
* SymbolicMutilation: They're put in a trap for being racists, in which Evan's competence is fundamental for the others' lives. His task? Peeling the skin off his back to reach the lever that will stop the trap.

* HospitalHottie: A extremely attractive medical examiner.
* NightmareFetishist: She is absolutely obsessed with Jigsaw, to the point of trolling the dark web for sites and information on him and having an entire warehouse full of replicas of the various traps he built over the course of the series. [[EveryoneHasStandards But she is offended when Logan asks if she "gets off on this shit.'']]

->'''Played by:''' Paul Braunstein, Ryan Manning (young)

A victim of the barn game and the tertiary protagonist of ''Jigsaw''. While he's no saint, Ryan reluctantly takes a leadership role in the game 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 friends and another driver, then he incriminated one of the 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.]]

* AssholeVictim: Despite passing himself off as a NiceGuy, he [[spoiler:knowingly sold a bike with faulty brakes to a young man who just so happened to be Jigsaw's nephew, and covered it up in order to get full price for it, directly leading to the man's death in an accident. He ends up being sliced apart in a blender-like trap powered by [[KarmicDeath a motorbike that had the exact engine from the original bike that he sold]]]].
* FlayedAlive: [[spoiler:He's sent tumbling into the coils of the Cycle Trap [[CheatersNeverProsper when Anna tries to help him get through it]] and is spat out as a mutilated corpse.]]
* {{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.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The faulty engine fueling the Cycle Trap that mutilates Mitch belongs to the bike he sold to John's nephew.]]
* NoFullNameGiven: Like most of the other barn game victims, his surname is never stated.

Carly could have helped her but chose to run away with $3.53.]] [[DirtyCoward She refuses to risk her life for the other players despite the fact that all of them will die if she doesn't]], [[spoiler:and gets acid injected into her throat, dying an incredibly painful death]].
* BloodFromEveryOrifice: This is how she dies when [[spoiler:Ryan injects the three syringes of the Chain Hangers into her]].
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: [[spoiler:In the past, Carly robbed an asthmatic woman of her purse. Upon discovering her inhaler in the bag, she felt guilt over it and tried to return it to her. Unfortunately, she came back to find the woman already died of stress. This didn't stop Carly from keeping her money afterwards, which is probably one of the main reasons John tested her.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Carly is forced into a decision where she must pick one of three syringes that will force her to confess how much money she stole from a woman that died from her thieving. She refuses to do so, and to save the group, Ryan injects her with all three. As a result, Carly is literally melted from the inside out by acid.]]
* NeverMyFault: Deconstructed. Unlike the rest of the group, Carly is adamant about not admitting any wrongdoing in the past, not even twisting a narrative to better suit her [[spoiler:[[BitchInSheepsClothing like with Anna]]. As this would kill all the victims, Ryan kills Carly to save them]].

* FatalFlaw: His impulsiveness and short temper. Despite surviving the test John set up for him, Cecil doesn't undergo any kind of spiritual enlightenment like John intended. Instead, he goes into a homicidal rage and tries to kill John, leading to his death when John easily evades his attack and Cecil charges into a cage of barbed wire behind him.
* FiveFingerDiscount: Cecil is a thief. In a flashback in ''IV'', he robs from Jill's rehabilitation clinic, an act that ultimately leads to him accidentally causing the miscarriage of John and Jill's son, Gideon.
* IllKillYou: The moment he's out of his test, he rages on about how John is going to die.
* PosthumousCharacter: Long dead before the series started, he was Jigsaw's first victim.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: He doesn't develop StockholmSyndrome or forgive John for putting him in a death trap. No, he's royally pissed off and once he gets out, he immediately bum-rushes him with every intent of kicking his ass.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While he's not the only reason John became Jigsaw, him causing the miscarriage of John's son was essentially the beginning John's StartOfDarkness.
* VillainsWantMercy: When he wakes up to the situation John has put him in, he feebly begs for his life and makes half-hearted apologies about what he did to John.

Brenda was a woman who worked as a pimp. She contacted other young women, made them dependent, and then forced them to work for her as prostitutes. Eventually, she was prosecuted for her crimes. However, she was acquitted due to the assistance of her lawyer, Art Blank.

* AssholeVictim: She was a pimp who made women into her slaves. No one would miss her after she was thrown into a mirror.
* BareYourMidriff: Wears a shirt that reveals her navel.
* DirtyCoward: Tried to kill Rigg after she was saved only to be killed when he threw her into a mirror.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: She tries to kill Rigg after he saves her. However, she was ordered by Jigsaw to kill him should he save her.
* FemmeFatale: She was ordered to kill Rigg if he decided to save her.
* FlayedAlive: The trap starts to scalp her just as Rigg finds the three-digit number and saves her.
* LongHairIsFeminine: Hair so long it's caught in the gears of her trap. It nearly would have scalped her had Rigg not found the combination and saved her.

[[quoteright:322:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/i_0.PNG]]
->'''Played by:''' Marty Adams

A serial rapist and proprietor of the run-down Alexander Motel. He becomes one of the subjects of Rigg's game.

* AnArmAndALeg: Both arms and one of his legs are torn off. When his body is later found by the SWAT team, it's sitting upright at the end of the bed with one leg left.
* AssholeVictim: The man is not only guilty of multiple counts of rape, but he's kept photos and videos of the acts, just so he can get off to them. While his death is probably one of the most horrific in the series, it can be said karma caught up to him.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: He acts very friendly toward others in public, but in private is a sadistic rapist.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: He tries to gouge out both his eyes, fails, and all his limbs are promptly torn off his body.
* DirtyCoward: He's absolutely terrified when he's at Rigg's mercy, begging to be let go and lying that he felt regret for his actions (despite clearly keeping evidence of them to look over for his own pleasure) and paid for them long ago, when he was actually never convicted.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a pet dog named Chance, whom he truly seems to love. Basically his only redeeming feature.
* EyeScream: He's given a choice during his test: gouge out his own eyes or have all of his limbs torn off. He gets about halfway there before the timer runs out.
* FatBastard: He's obese and a serial rapist.
* HateSink: Can you really sympathise with a serial rapist?
* KarmicDeath: Suffers one of the most fitting traps and deaths in the series. His trap and both Ivan and Riggs's involvement in it is analogous to Ivan's crimes in the following ways: He's forced into position by Officer Rigg like how Ivan forced his victims into position, strapped to the bed in a very similar fashion to his victims, and Ivan has to blind himself like he blindfolded his victims. The purpose of the trap, should he fail, is to tear him apart, like how the tape mentions how he tore apart his victim's lives.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: It's definitely hard to feel sympathy for the guy who's not only raped several women but kept photos and videos of them.
* {{Sadist}}: He ''filmed and photographed'' himself raping women to watch over and over again.
* SerialRapist: Raped several women, even filming and photographing the acts to watch again.
* TheSociopath: A blink and miss moment is when Jigsaw's game for Ivan plays his snuff films, he briefly ''smiles'' before Rigg turns to face him, indicating he has no remorse for his heinous crimes.
* SymbolicMutilation: Ivan is forced to gouge his eyes, which have "led him blindly astray", in order to escape. If he doesn't, the trap will rip his body apart, which caused endless suffering to his victims.
* VillainsWantMercy: He begs Rigg not to hurt him, whining about how he's already paid for his crimes, despite the fact that he's escaped conviction at least three times.

[[caption-width-right:275:Morgan (top) and Rex (bottom)]]

->'''Played by:''' Janet Land (Morgan), Ron Lea (Rex)

The last of the victims Rigg has to go through before his final test. Rex was a tyrannical husband and father who viciously beat his wife and child on a daily basis. His wife Morgan was too terrified of Rex to testify against him. Rigg and Hoffman were once sent to investigate Rex's abuse, but due to inconclusive evidence other than implications from his quiet daughter, the case was dropped with the help of Art Blank.

* AlreadyDoneForYou: Unlike Ivan and Brenda, Morgan is already through with her test by the time Rigg arrives and he has no further involvement with the situation. This is the last bit of foreshadowing Rigg should not be actively involved with the victim's games.
* AssholeVictim:
** Rex is such a case of this that the game itself is solely Morgan's; the spikes impaling Morgan are non-lethal even if she removes them, but Rex has been impaled in such a way that removing his spikes would kill him.
** On a less lethal note, getting his nose broken by Rigg after he taunts him and then the charges getting dropped when Hoffman lies that it was self-defense. Undoubtedly brutality on Rigg's part and corruption on Hoffman's and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
* DomesticAbuse: Rex had regularly beaten his wife and daughter, Jane, into submission every day.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: In a deeply twisted way. Morgan has it fairly easy with her trap, and she's finally free of Rex and his abuse upon passing her test.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Morgan and Rex are bound by spikes that Morgan has to remove to free herself. Not the case with Rex, however, as he's doomed regardless of what he does.

A man placed in a trap with Art Blank. He and Art are chained to a wrench that has them both trapped in a room. He has the key that will unlock both of their chain collars tied around the back of his own collar. His eyes have been sewn shut as has Art's mouth to prevent him from realizing the situation and complicate matters for both of them.

* BitCharacter: We learn nothing about him, and his only role in the fourth movie is to function as part of the opening trap, which also serves as the introduction to Art Blank, who would become a major character throughout the rest of the film. [[spoiler:He also appears in a CallBack in ''3D'' with the reveal that Dr. Gordon was the one who sewed his eyes shut.]]
* EyeScream: His eyes are sewn shut so he's unaware of the situation, and Art's mouth has also been sewn shut so he can't communicate and explain it to him.
* ForWantOfANail: If he had only felt around the back of his neck, both he and Art could have gotten out of the situation easily.

The boyfriend and murderer of Hoffman's sister. Hoffman used his knowledge of Jigsaw to kill him and frame Jigsaw. When the real Jigsaw found out, he blackmailed Hoffman into becoming his accomplice.

* AssholeVictim: Brutally murdered his girlfriend and received nowhere near the adequate punishment for it. That is, until Hoffman gets to him.
* BastardBoyfriend: He murdered his girlfriend, who also happened to be [[WifeBasherBasher Hoffman's sister]].
* BlatantLies: He claims the murder was an accident, but a flashback shows that his girlfriend's throat was slit. Yeah, he "accidentally" slit her throat.
* DirtyCoward: He whines, yells for help, says it was an [[BlatantLies accident,]] and has trouble even completing the task of crushing his hands.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Eventually, the pendulum lowers itself enough that it begins to slowly cut him in half, despite completing his test.
* OffOnATechnicality: He was originally sentenced to life in prison, but was released after only five years due to an unexplained legal technicality.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His actions lead to Hoffman becoming Jigsaw's accomplice, and killing many, ''many'' people.
* VillainHasAPoint: His last words are used pointing out the fact that he did what he was told to do to pass his test and that he should have been allowed to live afterward. As Jigsaw later tells Hoffman, everybody deserves a fair chance, even murderers like Seth.

Mark Hoffman's beloved sister and only known family member. She was brutally killed in a domestic dispute with her boyfriend, Seth Baxter. When her killer was released on a technicality, Hoffman killed him and framed it on Jigsaw in order to bring her justice.

* MonsterBrotherCutieSister:
** Implied; to Hoffman's monster brother. Though her screentime is limited, the articles posted about her death imply she was the kinder of the two of them. [[SerialKiller Hoffman needs no explanation...]]

->'''Played by:''' Julie Benz (Brit), Carlo Rota (Charles), Meagan Good (Luba), Laura Gordon (Ashley), Greg Bryke (Mallick)

The primary victims of the fifth film. Brit was a successful businesswoman and the senior vice president of the Marshvard Group, a real estate development company. One day, she hired a drug dealer to burn down an apartment building to get her hands on the property. However, the building was still inhabited by eight people, who all died in the fire. Nonetheless, the Marshvard Group was granted a building permit for the property by Luba Gibbs, a corrupt employee of the Department of City Planning. Soon afterward, Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, two special agents working on the case, eventually suspected Brit and almost discovered her involvement in the fire. They planned to bring a charge against Brit as well as four other suspects - Ashley Kazon, a fire inspector, Charles Salomon, a journalist, Mallick Scott, a drug addict, and Luba Gibbs. However, when the only witness suddenly disappeared, the investigation was dropped.

* AssholeVictim: Charles is a smug asshole who repeatedly prioritizes his own survival over the rest, namely Mallick. Later, he outright tries to kill Mallick and boasts of the test being "the survival of the fittest" before [[KarmicDeath Luba helps Mallick and leaves Charles to die instead.]]
* AnArmAndALeg: Mallick comes close to losing his arm entirely in the final test, but it's subverted in that it is seen recovering in ''Saw 3D''.
* IdleRich: Mallick used his parents' money to finance his drug habit.
* IronLady: Brit is the senior vice president of a real estate development company, and will do sketchy things to get her work done her way.
* KarmaHoudini: Despite Brit and Mallick being involved in an arson and the fact that Hoffman left evidence of it at the scene for the FBI to find, both are walking free by the time of ''Saw 3D'' with no apparent legal punishment whatsoever.
* KillItWithFire: Mallick set a building with people living in it on fire, all to get a fix.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
** Mallick is clearly distraught by the arson he committed, angrily lashing out at Brit after he learns she organized the scheme
** Judging by the look on her face when Mallick angrily asks her if she knew about the eight people living in the warehouse when she decided to have it burned down to take the property, Brit seems to have realized the gravity of what she's done.
* OffWithHerHead: Ashley is killed this way as the only victim of the first trial.
* OhCrap: Brit and Mallick at the end realize too late that the traps could've been easily passed with minimal injury to themselves if all five players had worked together. See PowerOfTrust below.
-->'''Mallick:''' "Your lifelong instincts tell you to do one thing but I implore you to do the opposite." Oh God.... whoops...
-->'''Brit:''' Yeah, big fucking whoops!
* PowerOfTrust: Although the test the Fatal Five go through seems like a survival of the fittest competition at first, all of them could have survived if they cooperated as revealed later. However, through ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, only Mallick and Brit make it to the end, with Brit making it clear she would have likely killed Mallick if she had to.
* PragmaticHero: Brit kills Luba instead of Mallick because he would be less likely to turn against her.
* SymbolicMutilation: The final trap of their game reveals to the two remaining survivors that if they had worked together, they each could have given two pints of blood each instead of five.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Ashley is killed minutes into their introduction, and we barely learn anything about her other than her role in the arson.

[[folder:William Easton]]
!!William Easton
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/william_6.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/PeterOuterbridge

The main character of ''Saw VI''. He is the head of a local health insurance office and is in charge of, among other things, allowing or denying claims. One of his customers was John Kramer; Easton personally denied coverage for an experimental treatment for John's brain tumor. That was probably not a good idea.

* AllForNothing:
** He manages to guide Debbie out of the steam maze, incurring serious burns from hot air in the process, upon which they realize that the key to her freedom is sewn within William's side. As he tries to get it himself, Debbie begins swinging a nearby circular saw at him, escalating things into a fight for no substantial reason. Unsurprisingly, Debbie's time runs out as a result, and she is killed.
** [[spoiler:His death could very much be considered this. After going through a series of demanding traps, which leads to him realizing the error of his ways and the value of the lives of the clients he had indirectly killed by denying coverage, William gets killed by the son of one of said rejected clients, ultimately making his redemption completely meaningless.]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive:
** Subverted; Jigsaw considers him one, for denying customers coverage when it could have saved their lives or eased their sickness, but it's clear that doesn't enjoy doing so and even tries to save everyone he can over the course of Jigsaw's test.
** It's still played straight in the clinic party scene, though, where William was talking with John, bragging about his so-called "formula" that he created himself to determine who gets coverage or not.
* DecoyProtagonist: As he realizes, [[spoiler:the main game isn't his: it's that of the family of one of the people he's let die]].
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:As the acid melts his torso, his upper body detaches itself.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even from the beginning of the movie, he clearly takes no pleasure in refusing health coverage to his clients; he meets with them personally and even agrees with Harold calling him a criminal. Immediately after the game begins, he does everything possible to help the other victims, even being willing to cut himself open to help his lawyer while she's coming at him with a buzzsaw.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: He passes all the tests and learns his lesson about helping people. [[spoiler:Then it's revealed that the family of one of the people he let die are also playing a game: Letting him live or not. They choose not to, as they never forgave him, and he dies one of the most violent and painful deaths in the series.]]
* SadisticChoice: Most of his tests revolve around this. He first has to choose between two people and leave the other to be hanged, then must choose at least two out of six of his employees from being blasted by a shotgun.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Despite learning his lesson and passing all his tests, [[spoiler:he dies one of the most violent and painful deaths in the series]].
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: William wears a white shirt during his trial, which is stained in blood from the beginning due to him having had [[TreasureChestCavity a key surgically placed inside him]]. [[spoiler:He's eventually killed in the Acid Room.]]

Her obsession with the Jigsaw case drew the ire of John Kramer when she wrote a book about him. Jigsaw kidnaps Pamela as an incentive for William to go through the game he set up for him.

* AllThereInTheManual: WordOfGod claims that Pamela is [[BreakTheCutie relatively]] fine after the events of the movie. She was planned to make a cameo in the survivor meetup in ''3D'', but she didn't make it into the film.

* DamselInDistress: She is kept in a cage for most of the running time of ''Saw VI.''
* MotorMouth: Befitting her sensationalist nature, she's very chatty and has little sense of personal space, which draws the ire of Jill and Hoffman.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Her obsession with Jigsaw leads her to [[spoiler:find the letter Hoffman used to blackmail Amanda]]. While Jill denies knowledge of it when Pamela pesters her over it, she's actually furious enough over it to later [[spoiler:sabotage Hoffman's game]], making Hoffman go completely mad and have his identity ousted to the public when Jill seeks police protection in ''3D''.

[[spoiler: In reality, John Kramer had no intention to harm either Brent or Tara, but instead left them there for an opportunity to take revenge on William if he makes it through to the end of his test.]]

* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Brent knowingly [[spoiler:sentences a man to die by being dissolved in acid.]] To be fair, he is horrified immediately after this.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hank_in_umbrella_health.jpg]]
->'''Played by:''' Gerry Mendicino
The first victim of William's trial, introduced in a trap with William known as the Oxygen Crusher. While hardly anything is known about him, he has gained great notoriety in the fandom for being tested because he ''smokes'' despite a history of health issues.

* DisproportionateRetribution: While chain-smoking despite a history of health issues can be seen to be in line with John's philosophy of punishing people inconsiderate of their lives, that is still an ''absurdly'' petty reason to put someone in a death trap. Worse yet, Hank was merely a janitor for William's company and not complicit in his corrupt work at all.
* NoFullNameGiven: His surname is never stated.
* UnwinnableByDesign: The Oxygen Crusher consists of two contraptions consisted of two big metal clamps aiming at the victims' bodies from the sides. Once the game began, a highly sensitive pump measured their breathing activity. Each time one of them took a breath, the clamps would close in and eventually crush their body. Once someone dies, the trap would deactivate with the second victim free to go. However, due to Hank's smoking habits and health issues, there is legitimately no way he could ''ever'' win against William even if the latter intentionally tried to lose. Due to the expansive nature of William's trial, it seems Jigsaw was even aware of this and never expected Hank to win.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: One of the most underdeveloped victims in the series. We know his occupation and the ludicrous reason John tests him, but nothing more.

----
* DisproportionateRetribution: On both counts. Addy is notable for having done ''absolutely nothing wrong'' and enjoying her life. While she worked for William, she merely scheduled his appointments and was not complicit in his work. Allen himself simply maintained William's files and documents, having no role in denying people insurance like his other workers.
* LonersAreFreaks: Allen has no friends or family, and therefore no one to miss him if he dies unlike Addy. This is a fact Jigsaw uses to tip sympathy in Addy's favor.
* NoFullNameGiven: Neither of them have stated surnames.

----
* AmoralAttorney: Debbie fiercely fought back against anyone that threatened William or his company's policies.
* AssholeVictim: Of all the victims with a connection to Easton, she was the most complicit in William's corrupt practices. Debbie also tried to viciously kill William, which while she can't necessarily be blamed for, makes her slightly more antagonistic than the rest.
* BoomHeadshot: As she fails to kill William in time, the device attached to her chest launches a metal rod directly at her head, killing her instantly.
* CallBack: Her game, where she must kill William to remove a key from his stomach in order to take off a device that will kill her, is a direct callback to Amanda's test in the first film.
* FanDisservice: The steam causes her blouse to stick to her body rather tightly, but this is never focused on by the camera, and she dies in a rather gruesome manner before the scene can become true fanservice material.
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Despite William helping her through the first half of her game, the steam maze, she immediately tries to kill him upon meeting him.

A group of insurance analysts who used to work for William in finding errors in policies to potentially deny people health insurance. To survive, they have to rely on the help of William. Standing on a pedestal outside the enclosure was a room with two buttons inside. Every time the carousel came to a standstill, William has to simply press both buttons simultaneously in order to save the victim in front of the shotgun. In return, the shotgun would go into an upright position and shoot above the other person's head without harming them, before returning to its original position. However, [[SadisticChoice only two people could be saved while the other four inevitably had to die]].
----
* AintTooProudToBeg: Given all of them have their lives hinge on William's decisions and only two can make it out, every victim begs and pleads for their lives.
* BadLiar: Gena makes a pathetic attempt at claiming she's pregnant to gain William's sympathy. The stilted acting and panic make it too obvious she's lying, however, and she's called out for it by the other victims.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: As aforementioned, their jobs were looking for loopholes in William's policies to deny people health insurance.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: Josh has what is absolutely, without a doubt, the most badass death speech in the whole franchise.
-->"Aww, well, that's it, isn't it? It's over! You MOTHERFUCKER! You spineless, pussy-whipped motherfucker! That's all it takes, eh? A bitch says one thing and it's all over! You know what, William? Your policy is bullshit! Fucking bullshit! Well, you listen to me, you son of a bitch! I did everything for you! LOOK AT ME! '''WHEN YOU'RE KILLING ME, YOU LOOK AT ME!'''"
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Played with. Josh has his turn come around when he knows that his death is sealed. He has the mental wherewithal to deliver a furious FinalSpeech to William (listed under DyingMomentOfAwesome above), but he notably whimpers right before he's killed.
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: In a 3-to-3 gender ratio, both survivors are women while all three men die.
* NoFullNameGiven: None of them have stated surnames.
* SymbolicMutilation: William having to choose two of them (out of six) symbolizes that his policy only covered one third of the company's insurance cases. William must also give himself stigmata to save the two people he deems being hurt for.
* TemptingFate: Aaron, the first victim to get killed.
-->'''Aaron:''' Listen to me, Mr. Easton. I am the one who should live! ''(is stopped before the gun first)'' Jesus Christ! Please, Mr. Easton! MR. EASTON! PLEASE! FOLLOW THE POLICY, MR. EASTON! DO IT! PLEASE! MR. EASTON, FOLLOW THE POLICY! FOLLOW THE POLICY! ''(gets killed by the gun)''

[[folder:Bobby Dagen]]
!!Bobby Dagen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bobby_1.png]]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/SeanPatrickFlanery

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. To this end, Bobby decides to lie about being a victim, publish a book about his "experience", and go on the talk show circuit to rake in the cash and fame. Jigsaw takes issue with this...
----
* AssholeVictim: By proxy. While he himself lives by the end of the film (albeit injured), [[spoiler:his friends and wife are killed due to him failing to save them]].
* BecomingTheBoast: He falsely claims to have survived one of Jigsaw's death traps, in which he put two hooks through his pectoral muscles and climbed the chains attached to them in order to pull himself up to safety. Guess what his final test is when he's put through one of Jigsaw's trials for real, with his wife Joyce's life on the line? [[spoiler:It's cruelly subverted when a SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs, as the pectoral muscles simply aren't strong enough to support Bobby's full weight, and the hooks tear right out of his chest as he tries to climb the chains. 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.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: While Bobby's plan to make money isn't exactly terrible at a glance, he didn't make sure that Jigsaw was either dead or behind bars before publishing his false story.
* {{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.
* {{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.
* 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.
* 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.]]
* 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 in a trap of a SerialKiller who specifically targets those who are guilty and 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.

->'''Played by:''' Dean Armstrong (Cale), Rebecca Marshall (Suzanne), Naomi Snieckus (Nina), Gina Holden (Joyce)

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: Joyce gets burned alive by a ''brazen bull'' for Bobby's failures, which is horrifying for someone who did nothing wrong.
* 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.
* 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 from the movie reveals that Cale was the one who suggested Bobby to pretend to be a Jigsaw survivor, thus kickstarting the main game of the movie.

->'''Played by:''' Sebastian Pigott (Brad), Jon Cor (Ryan)

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

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.
* 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.

----
* AssholeVictim: Every last one of them.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:As a result of Evan failing to win his game on time, Kara gets her face disintegrated by a moving tire, Dan's arms and jaw are torn off when Evan's car goes out of control, and Evan himself is sent flying out a windshield with all the skin on his back forcibly torn off his body, bleeding to death. Averted with Jake, who is simply run over by the front of the car Evan is in.]]
* FlayedAlive: In the Horsepower Trap, Evan is superglued into the driver's seat of a car. In order to save himself and the others, he has to pull himself loose by ripping off the skin from his arms and back.
* HateCrimesAreASpecialKindOfEvil: As a group of racists, Hoffman tests them for this reason.
* NoFullNameGiven: None of them have stated surnames.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Being white supremacist skinheads, this is a given.
* SymbolicMutilation: They're put in a trap for being racists, in which Evan's competence is fundamental for the others' lives. His task? Peeling the skin off his back to reach the lever that will stop the trap.

A victim of the barn game and the tertiary protagonist of ''Jigsaw''. While he's no saint, Ryan reluctantly takes a leadership role in the game 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 friends and another driver, then he incriminated one of the 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.]]

* AssholeVictim: Despite passing himself off as a NiceGuy, he [[spoiler:knowingly sold a bike with faulty brakes to a young man who just so happened to be Jigsaw's nephew, and covered it up in order to get full price for it, directly leading to the man's death in an accident. He ends up being sliced apart in a blender-like trap powered by [[KarmicDeath a motorbike that had the exact engine from the original bike that he sold]]]].
* FlayedAlive: [[spoiler:He's sent tumbling into the coils of the Cycle Trap [[CheatersNeverProsper when Anna tries to help him get through it]] and is spat out as a mutilated corpse.]]
* {{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.]]
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:The faulty engine fueling the Cycle Trap that mutilates Mitch belongs to the bike he sold to John's nephew.]]
* NoFullNameGiven: Like most of the other barn game victims, his surname is never stated.

It culminates in him building a copycat trap with his bandmates, which he tests himself in order to prove John's philosophy.

He does panic and yell at the bandmates just before the timer ends, though, so his chance of survival isn't probably good.
