==Summary==
At one time Mark Hoffman was an honest cop, until the death of his sister. At that point he took the law into his own hands and killed the murderer, pinning the blame on the Jigsaw Killer. Unknown to him this got the attention of the real John Kramer (A.K.A. The Jigsaw Killer), who kidnapped him and blackmailed him into helping his cause. Though hesitant at first, he eventually became a willing follower, even carrying on John’s work after his death.

Intelligence: At least Gifted, likely Genius (Mark Hoffman is a highly skilled and intelligent detective who has dedicated over two decades to his job as a lieutenant. He orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of Seth Baxter with meticulous planning and execution. Despite lacking engineering expertise, he single-handedly designed and constructed the Pendulum Trap all on his own. During his reign as a Jigsaw Apprentice, he encrypted audio files and altered voice tapes to mimic Jigsaw's voice, evading detection by law enforcement. A skilled manipulator and strategist, he consistently outwitted and misled the FBI for months, if not years. Successfully hacked into police surveillance cameras, enabling him to monitor their movements and eliminate them using his Sentry Gun Trap. Hoffman created a diverse array of traps and conducted trials for numerous individuals, at the same time while forcing the belief of a regular police lieutenant without being apprehended. Trained by John Kramer to continue his legacy after Karmer’s passing, Hoffman effectively carried on his work for an extended period of time)
Weaknesses: Overzealous, easily angered, and tends to be controlled by emotions (revenge, sadistic urges, etc.)
