Jennings Foster

== Biography ==
=== The Jigsaw Case ===
Jennings Foster was a CSI investigator for the Crime Scene Investigation Unit as part of the Metropolitan Police Department. At some point in his career, Jennings investigated a serial killer case. The first victim was a drug addict named Cecil Adams, who died of blood loss after falling into a cage filled with razor wire. 
Soon afterward, the remains of two other victims were found - Mitsuka Ito, a member of the local Yakuza, and Ronnie Navarro, a drug dealer and member of the Blood Eye Gang. The two of them were put in a trap, which consisted of a pulley system and several large barrels filled with sulfuric acid. Those were propped up above the victims, whose hands were strapped to ropes attached to the pulley system. If both of them had pulled simultaneously, the pulley would have given them enough slack to reach the exit door. However, Detective David Tapp assumed that something prevented them from working together. Eventually, both of them died when their bodies were spilled with acid. While the acid had not left much of their corpses, the jigsaw pieces cut from their bodies suggested that the murder was another crime committed by Jigsaw.
=== Seth Baxter's Death ===
As the games continued, the police soon found the corpse of Seth Baxter, who had been sliced in half by a giant pendulum blade. Therefore, Detective Fisk informed Hoffman and went to the crime scene along with him. Upon seeing the victim, Hoffman identified him as Seth Baxter, the ex-boyfriend and murderer of his sister, Angelina Acomb. Fisk, who knew the story about the murder of Angelina, was surprised by this but stated that Seth had become what he deserved. Due to Hoffman being potentially biased, the further investigation on Seth's death, which soon became known to the public as the "Pendulum Murder", was taken over by Detective Kerry. However, Hoffman still asked Fisk to keep him informed, to which the latter agreed. Unknown to his colleagues, Hoffman had actually killed Seth to take revenge for his sister and had thereby imitated Jigsaw's modus operandi. 
=== Paul Leahy's Death ===
Sometime later, the next victim, Paul Leahy, was found in a basement approximately three weeks after his death. He had been forced to crawl through a fenced area filled with razor wire in order to save his life and escape the basement. When Detective Tapp and Detective Sing arrived at the crime scene, they were expected by Kerry, who had already gathered information from the forensics and therefore was able to tell them about Paul's game as well as his fatal injuries and presented them an audio tape, which had been used to give Paul his instructions.
=== Mark Wilson's Death ===
Shortly afterwards, Tapp, Sing and Kerry were also present at the crime scene of Mark Wilson's game, who had died after accidently igniting himself with a candle in an attempt to find an antidote for a slow-acting poison in his blood. At the crime scene, Kerry found a peephole used by Jigsaw to witness his game and remarked that she had seen one of those before at Paul Leahy's crime scene as well. Furthermore, she told them about a penlight found at the place of Mark's death. Tapp ordered her to send it to the laboratory to see if they could find any fingerprints on it. 
=== Amanda Young's Survival ===
Soon after Mark's body had been found, Amanda Young, a drug addict, came to the police station after escaping one of Jigsaw's games. After a doctor examined her wounds, she was interrogated by Detective Tapp. Amanda told him how she had woken up at an unknown location and found herself strapped to a chair. While she was unconscious, Jigsaw had put a mechanical device on her head and hooked it into Amanda's upper and lower jaws. Amanda had received her instructions from a mechanical ventriloquist puppet named Billy, which spoke to her via a video recording. The doll described the device on her head as a "reverse bear trap," which would rip her mouth open if she did not free herself within 60 seconds. Therefore, she had to cut the key to the device from the stomach of her supposedly dead cellmate, Donnie Greco. When the tape ended, Amanda successfully freed herself from the chair and ultimately obtained the key by disemboweling her fellow prisoner, who was, in fact, still alive at that point. Upon securing the crime scene, the police found the trap, whereas Donnie Greco's body was missing. However, they positively identified him by investigating the blood evidence. 
=== Steven Sing's Death ===
Minutes later, Tapp and Sing arrived and entered the building. While examining the location, they found the K2K graffito and recognized it as the same one from the video. When they searched the hideout, they suddenly caught a sound and discovered a man named Jeff Ridenhour strapped to a mechanical chair. However, when they heard a nearby elevator, they went into hiding. Moments later, Jigsaw arrived, disguised with a black cloak and hood. Tapp and Sing observed him as the latter approached Jeff and told him he wanted to use him to test a bigger project. At this moment, the detectives left their hiding spot and aimed their weapons at Jigsaw. Jigsaw reacted quickly and activated the mechanical chair by stepping on a button on the floor. Subsequently, two drills started to approach Jeff's head from both sides. While Sing desperately tried to deactivate the contraption, Tapp held Jigsaw at gunpoint. Even though Jigsaw told them that the key to the trap was in a box next to Jeff, Sing could not find the right one in time as dozens of keys were attached to the key ring.
Nonetheless, Sing saved Jeff by shooting the drills in the last nick of time. However, the shots distracted Tapp and allowed Jigsaw to slash his throat with a hidden blade and run away. Sing pursued the killer and shot him in a hallway, causing him to collapse. Thinking that he was dead, Sing approached his body and accidentally stepped on a tripwire. This carelessness proved fatal as the wire triggered another trap, which caused Sing to be killed by four shotguns attached to a ceiling beam. Afterward, Jigsaw, who wore bulletproof body armor under his cloak, left the factory unharmed.
