After Gordon escaped this trap and later becoming John's third apprentice, John believed he was his best apprentice out of him, Amanda and Hoffman. And entrusted him to look after Jill after his death and promised no more secrets will be kept from him. William Easton was John's insurer however William refused to give him insurance after John had colon cancer, William denied him health coverage in order to make more money himself, not caring if this will result in John's death.
As part of his new plans, Jigsaw planned to capture him and force him through a number of tests to survive and escape. After John's death, Hoffman carried this out. Jigsaw had a toll of 86 victims in total, 55 or 57 of whom have failed their tests while the other 22 were successful.
Jigsaw builds lethal traps for his test subjects, which often represent a flaw in the victim's life. Jigsaw calls these tests "games" and tells the victim the "rules" of the test usually by audio or video tape.
The rules are tasks that the victim must perform in order to pass the test and survive; however the tasks often involve self-mutilation. Most of the traps are made by scavenged materials, rusty bolts, decaying iron or anything else he believes will help him create a new game.
On occasion, Jigsaw had use psychological torture for the victim's test. However, not all traps require self-mutilation, as one trap required a victim to destroy his deceased son's possessions to get the key to save a second victim. Many of the games involve clocks, counting down timers or other measured time constraints provided to the victims.
Jigsaw elaborated his appreciation of time, outlining the importance of savoring every moment. He also stated his belief that telling someone the time they would die would awaken an alertness of every moment in existence. Jigsaw intends through these lethal traps and tests to force the victims to prove to him that they are worthy and deserving to continue living, and also to learn to abandon what he percieves to be their vices. Jigsaw often expressed a desire for his victims to succeed, but stressed their fate was always in their own hands.
The instructions for each game often echo this idea: Live or die. Make your choice. Billy, a puppet, is an icon of Jigsaw. Jigsaw often uses Billy for the purpose of delivering messages to his victims via a television screen but at times it has also been physically present with the victims during the tests.
Jigsaw provided the voice for Billy when it delivered the messages. It was eventually revealed Billy was originally going to be created for his unborn son, Gideon. Another one of Jigsaw's trademarks is the use of microcassettes to deliver instructions to his victims, disguising his voice. He accomplished this by speaking into a reel-to-reel tape, then slowing down the playback.
Often the victim would find a microcassette recorder left for them with a tape already loaded in, while at other times the tape would be found separately in an envelope marked with the victim's name or the tape on its own reading "Play Me". One tape was found in Jigsaw's stomach during his autopsy. Both of his apprentices, Amanda Young and Mark Hoffman, eventually began making their own microcassettes but not always altering their voices.
The pig mask is a thermatic prop worn by Jigsaw and his apprentices to conceal their identities while abducting their victims. The first known pig masks to have been latex strap-on masks used at a year of the Pig-Chinese New Year festival. Jigsaw had took them and donned one, while using the other one to hold his chloroform-soaked rag.
The second mask was then used to knock out his first victim, Cecil Adams, by placing the mask over his head with the chloroform rag still inside. Along with Billy and Jigsaw himself, the mask has become one of the most iconic symbols of the movies. Cut outs were made, in the shape of jigsaw puzzle pieces, from the flesh of Jigsaw's failed and dead victims. Jigsaw received the nickname "Jigsaw" from the police and the press. These pieces were suppose to represent the piece the victim was missing to pass their test.
Though Jigsaw had also other people assisting him. Ryan and Brad worked for Gordon and acted as his muscle while capturing Hoffman to lock him inside the Bathroom and leave him to die. Zep Hindle also worked for Jigsaw in taking Gordon's daughter and wife hostage and was ordered to kill them if Gordon failed, but only because Jigsaw was testing him and promised him an antidote if he does so.
Jigsaw is usually seen wearing a black theatrical robe with a large hood and red lining when running traps or abducting victims. Amanda wore a similar robe to Jigsaw's in an attempt to symbolically emulate her mentor. Hoffman though, while wearing a pig mask, always wore the dark blue rain parka he'd worn since the murder of Seth Baxter, further illustrating the gap between him and Jigsaw. Also both Pighead and Pighead II they wore similar robes to Jigsaw, the only difference is that it is red.

So are you going to watch yourself die here today, Adam, or do something about it? Adam has no clear goal, then. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox!
Gordon, this is your wake-up call. Now you will be the cause of death. Your aim in this game is to kill Adam. You have until six on the clock to do it. There are ways to win this, hidden all around you. Just remember, X marks the spot for the treasure. If you do not kill Adam by six, then Alison and Diana will die, Dr. Let the game begin. Gordon loses his game. The clock strikes six, and Adam is still alive.
Zep heads for the bathroom, and gets caught up in a rather lo-fi car chase with Tapp. Meanwhile, Gordon, who heard some of the commotion at his house down a phone line, gets rather worked up. He believes that Adam has died, but declares that Gordon was too late in doing the deed.
He failed to win the game, and that is the price for losing. Adam took a bullet, but still stepped up to kill Zep and save Gordon. Gordon assures Adam that he will survive his bullet wound. Gordon crawls out of the bathroom to go find help.
Years later, in Saw: The Final Chapter aka Saw 3D , we learned that Gordon made it as far as a steaming pipe in the corridor outside the bathroom. He used the hot metal to cauterise his stump, and passed out from the pain of doing so. As a reward for success, Jigsaw would have given Zep the antidote to the slow-acting poison coursing through his veins. Is that what Jigsaw wanted? His background would then be elaborated and his philosophy expanded in later Saw titles.
Kramer is a former engineer with an inoperable frontal lobe tumor. Thus, he began capturing people who he decides have a moral or personal flaw and exploits that particular flaw with a customized torture trap, forcing the person to come to terms with their issue or allow it to be their demise.
The games regularly involve self-mutilation, harming others, or psychological torture.
