Main Characters
Pigsaw
The series's main antagonist. An evil puppet who constantly forces people to play his deadly games.
- Affectionate Parody: Of Jigsaw obviously.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Pigsaw is a robotic puppet who was created by some scientists who were experimenting with combining human genes with AIs. As soon as Pigsaw obtained sentience, he destroyed the laboratory where he was created and escaped to an island.
- Antagonist Title: Pigsaw, the one behind the Saw Games.
- Becomes a case of Protagonist Title in Pigsaw Final Game.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Since Pigsaw's goal is to force others into his games, he always succeeds from the very beginning of each game.
- Big Bad: The one responsible for the deadly games.
- Deuteragonist: Serves as this in Obama And Pigsaws Gift and Obama And Pigsaw Versus Aliens. See Enemy Mine below for more information.
- Dub Name Change: The Spanish versions of the latest games call him "Jigtrap".
- Enemy Mine: He sides with Obama in Obama And Pigsaws Gift by telling him that Santa Claus needs help (albeit, only because he wanted to receive his own present).
- He does it again in Obama And Pigsaw Versus Aliens to stop an alien invasion.
- Enfant Terrible: According to what he says in Santa Saw Game, when he was a kid he burned a car, assaulted a supermarket and even planted a bomb in a school.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Despite everything, Pigsaw is a Fair-Play Villain whose games can actually be won and if he does require the player to kill someone to progress, it's always going to be an actual villain and never an innocent person.
- Karma Houdini: Pigsaw never received any punishment for his crimes, always managing to get away with them and continuing his games.
- Karma Houdini Warranty: Pigsaw finally receives his ironic punishment in Pigsaw Final Game, where he himself is kidnapped by Obama and forced into a game. This, however, is ultimately subverted when it's revealed that it was All Just a Dream of Pigsaw himself.
- Villain Protagonist: Becomes this in Pigsaw Final Game, where he's the player character.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Pigsaw ultimately means well with his games, wanting to teach his victims a lesson and help them be better... although sometimes he kidnaps them simply because the fans requested it.
- Would Hurt a Child: Pigsaw isn't above kidnapping and forcing children into his games... although he ISN'T willing to blackmail literal babies into playing them.
Pigface

- Affectionate Parody: Of Pighead.
- Animal Motif: Pigs. Do we really need to explain why?
- Bag of Kidnapping: He is seldom seen without it when kidnapping his victims under Pigsaw's orders.

Barack Obama
The 44th president of the United States of America, appearing in various games, among which his own game series and the Saw Games.
- Celebrity Power: This Obama is skilled enough to face even outright supernatural enemies and save the world more than once.
