John Kramer

John Kramer, AKA Jigsaw, is the main antagonist of the Saw franchise. He is a former civil engineer dying from an inoperable brain tumor that had developed from colon cancer. After a suicide attempt, John found a new appreciation for his life, and decided to dedicate the rest of his life to inspiring the same appreciation others by testing their will to live. His methods include forcing his subjects through deadly scenarios, which he refers to as his "games" or "tests", in which they were forced to inflict pain upon themselves or others in order to escape. These tests were typically symbolic of what John perceived as a flaw in each person's character or life. The Jigsaw name is given to him by the media for his practice of cutting a puzzle piece-shaped chunk of flesh for those who fail.
