History Characters / SawOtherCharacters

The frontman of the in-universe band Wrath of the Gods and Adam's best friend. When Adam goes missing with found connections to the Jigsaw case, he decides to make a documentary regarding Jigsaw in ''The Scott Tibbs Documentary''.

* MortonsFork: Even if he had been able to remove the final chain in time, the door to the room was welded shut. Technically, despite the attempt to rig his test, he could have possibly survived by cheating and removing the visible batteries from the bomb's timer or throwing the bomb out the window, but with the mercilessly short timer of a minute and 37 seconds and no foreknowledge of the door being welded shut, his chance of surviving is still virtually nonexistent due to just how much of the time he would have spent getting out of the chains.

* TooDumbToLive: He draws his gun on an armed FBI agent that warned him to stand down. Although to be fair, Jeff was definitely not in the right state of mind with everything he went through.

* UncertainDoom: His fate was left hanging and never made clear until the seventh film.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Adam's actor, Leigh Whannell, is Australian, and though he's not perfect at hiding it, he's leagues ahead of Cary Elwes.
* TragicDropout: In the original draft of the script, Adam says that he really wanted to be a veterinarian growing up, but thought it was impossible when he saw the grades he would need to get there. When Lawrence says that he's seen kids graduate high school from a hospital bed, Adam says that they got farther than he did.

** Gus ignores every warning to not use a key to open a certain door. When he peeks into the peephole, [[MoeGreeneSpecial he subsequently gets his eye blown out by a gun.]]

* WorfHadTheFlu: When Xavier attacks Jonas for the code number behind his neck, Jonas overpowers him but briefly succumbs to the nerve gas. This allows Xavier to win the fight.

* DecoyProtagonist: As he realizes, [[spoiler:the game in ''Saw VI'' isn't his: it's that of the family of one of the people he's let die]].
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:As the acids melt his torso, his upper body detaches itself.]]

* ShaggyDogStory: Despite learning his lesson and passing all his tests, [[spoiler:he dies one of the most violent and painful deaths in the series]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They don't appear in the survivor meeting in ''3D,'' but like with Pamela, WordOfGod is this is due to Devon Bostick and Shauna [=MacDonald=] being too busy to reprise their roles.

* LonersAreFreaks: Allen has no friends or family, and therefore no one to miss him if he dies unlike Addy. A fact Jigsaw uses to tip sympathy in Addy's favor.

* TeamDad: Jonas is by far the most reasonable member of the group, and tries to corral the rest of the party to work together. He even tries several times to relate to Xavier, but while most of the rest of the victims are willing to listen, Xavier is too AxCrazy and ends up murdering him.

The rest of the unlucky group of convicts John Kramer abducted for the main game of ''Saw II''. While most of them are indeed real criminals, what they all have in common is that they were framed by [[DirtyCop Eric]] for crimes they didn't commit. [[AdultFear This is to potentially complicate the situation by having Daniel in the game.]]

The other main character of the original ''Saw'', locked in the bathroom with Dr. Gordon. A photographer by trade, Adam was paid by David Tapp to take pictures of Lawrence.

-> '''Played by:''' Alexandra Bokyun Chun

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He doesn't appear after ''Saw II'', despite surviving and his father having further roles. He's only being mentioned again the film's DVD short ''The Scott Tibbs Documentary'', where Scott attempts to interview Daniel in a hospital before a security guard kicks him out. WordOfGod is that Daniel was meant to appear in the [[ContinuityCavalcade Jigsaw Survivor Group meeting]] in ''Saw 3D'', but he couldn't be included due to scheduling issues with his actor Erik Knudsen.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He doesn't appear after ''Saw II'' despite surviving and his father having further roles. WordOfGod is that Erik Knudsen simply didn't have time to reprise his role.

* 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 sabotage Hoffman's game, making him go completely mad and have his identity ousted to the public when Jill seeks police protection]].

While Jill denies knowledge of it when Pamela pesters her over it, she is actually furious enough over it to later sabotage Hoffman's game, making him go completely mad and have his identity ousted to the public when Jill seeks police protection]].

* AdultFear: Eric understandably experiences this while watching his 17-year-old son Daniel be thrust into a game alongside a group of people whom he had previously framed for crimes they hadn't actually committed.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: When he was still an intern, he accidentally mislabeled two x-rays, resulting in John Kramer's brain tumor not being found until it was too late.

->'''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.

* 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. Played straight during the party flashback where William was talking with John Kramer, bragging about his so called "formula" that he created himself to determine who gets coverage or not.
