Short film characters:
David
Played By: Leigh Whannell
Appearances: Saw (short film)
The protagonist of the original Saw short film. David was a hospital orderly abducted and put through a grueling test by a serial killer because of his arrogant attitude.
- Decomposite Character: In the first film, his character is split between several ones:
- Adam is played by the same actor as him, Leigh Whannell, and displays a similar attitude.
- Tapp takes David's name as his first name.
- Amanda is put through the same test as David.
- Like David, Zep is a hospital orderly.
- No Full Name Given: His surname is never stated.
Rich Skidmore
Played By: Rich Skidmore
Appearances: Full Disclosure Report
The host of the Full Disclosure Report documentary series, which addresses the aftermath of the film's events in the short film of the same title.
- As Himself: He has the same name as his actor.
Scott Tibbs
Played By: Zach Starr
Appearances: The Scott Tibbs Documentary
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, Scott decides to make a documentary regarding Jigsaw in The Scott Tibbs Documentary, eventually setting up a Jigsaw-esque trap with his bandmates for him to test in order to see if Jigsaw's method actually works.
- Ascended Extra: Scott was first mentioned by Adam in the first film. He then became the central character of The Scott Tibbs Documentary.
- Ax-Crazy: Downplayed. While he's not violently unhinged or murderous, he progressively becomes more psychotic as he isn't able to get any information in regards to the Jigsaw case. It culminates in him building a copycat trap with his bandmates, which he tests himself in order to prove John's philosophy.
- Uncertain Doom: Scott's fate in his trap is left unknown, as the outcome isn't seen due to his bandmates taking the camera and leaving the room he's in before the trap's timer runs out. He does panic and yell at the bandmates just before the timer ends, though, so his chances of survival aren't probably good.
- With Friends Like These...: He seems to be a toxic friend for Adam, given how he ruined one of his birthdays for him, doesn't feel sorry when he goes missing, and the fact that his general attitude towards his other friends and bandmates is shitty.
