Billy the Puppet

Billy the Puppet is a major character from the Saw series.
== Charactah Account ==
Billy is a creepy puppet in a snappy suit, usually used by Jigsaw to deliver messages to his victims via video screen.
Billy was a mechanical puppet resembling a male clown. Its face was pale white with a protruding brow and cheeks that had red spirals painted on them. His red lips formed a grin, his eyes were black with red irises and his head was topped with black, messy hair. Additionally, he wore a black tuxedo with a white shirt and gloves, a red bow tie as well as red shoes and always had a red handkerchief in his breast pocket.
Due to being a mechanical construction, Billy was able to move on his own. Most of the time, Jigsaw used video recordings of him to inform his victims about their situation. However, at times, Billy also appeared to the victims in person and occasionally rode an old red tricycle John had used in his childhood.

== Trivia ==
* In the 2007 film Dead Silence (which is made by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the creators of the Saw films), one of the puppets, who appears on the film's poster and wears the same outfit as Jigsaw's puppet, is named Billy. The Saw puppet is also seen in the movie for a brief second, in a shot that reveals all of Mary Shaw's puppets in the attic above the theater.
* A graffiti-style painting of Billy's face can be seen on a wall in James Wan's film Death Sentence.
* In the scene in Insidious where Josh is working late in the classroom, Billy is drawn in chalk on the blackboard behind him. Underneath the drawing the number eight is shown, symbolizing that there may be an eighth Saw film. In 2017 this symbol turned out to be correct.
* Billy made a cameo in Snafu's web comic: Grim Tales from Down Below. Only a picture of Billy in a wheelchair can be seen. Billy is the godfather of Grim Jr.
* Caliborn, a character from the Internet comic Homestuck, shares many similarities to Billy in both the red swirls on his cheeks and a fascination with games.
* Billy with his Bowler Hat appears in Saw during Amanda's Reverse Beartrap tape for less than one second.
* In the 2018 film Upgrade, at one point during the hacker building sequence, doll that looks like Billy can be seen painted on one of the walls. Leigh Whannell, the director for this movie, also wrote the first Saw feature film screenplay.
* It is unknown if Logan Nelson made use of a Billy puppet during his Jigsaw game.
