Dr. Lawrence Gordon was the man responsible for diagnosing John Kramer's cancer and was initially a suspect in the Jigsaw case. As Jigsaw, John targeted Gordon for engaging in an affair with his medical student despite having a loving family. Gordon was placed in a trap alongside Adam and tasked with killing him before the time-limit ran out or his wife and daughter would be executed. He failed to do this but instead severed his own foot to free himself from his shackles, attempting to crawl to freedom. A flashback in Saw III showed him lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. Saw V showed that Hoffman set up Gordon as a Jigsaw suspect by placing Gordon's pen-light at a Jigsaw crime scene.

When Leigh Whannell asked Cary Elwes what he thought about his character's fate on the commentary for the Saw: Uncut Edition DVD, Elwes responded with, "Let's face it, guys. He's severed his whole leg off. The loss of blood alone, even with that pathetic tourniquet he made with his shirt. It's a wrap. He's not going to get two blocks. "Darren Lynn Bousman said on the DVD commentaries for Saw IV that his intent was to leave Dr. Gordon's fate an unanswered question and let fans make up their own minds. In a November 2009 podcast interview with Matt Horn of Demon FM, he asked Patrick Melton, co-writer of IV, V, VI and the upcoming VII, if Dr. Gordon's fate would be answered before the series ended, stated that his fate would be revealed in VII, the tentative last installment of the series.

Mark Rodriguez Wilson

• Portrayed by Paul Gutrecht.
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw

Mark, a 30 year old software analyst, was one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, targeted because he feigned illness and injury to excuse himself from his responsibilities when he was in fact perfectly healthy. Mark was stripped naked and informed that he had a slow acting poison in his body, the antidote being locked in a safe in the room. Mark had to overcome the broken-glass covered floor and use a candle to read the safe combination written on the wall, wary of the fact his flesh was smeared in a flammable substance. Mark eventually fumbled with the candle and the substance ignited, burning him alive; his charred corpse was found later by police.

Paul Leahy

• Portrayed by Mike Butters.
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw, Saw IV, Saw V

Paul was one of Jigsaw's earliest victims, chosen because he attempted suicide by cutting his wrists despite having a 'good' life with a wife and kids.

In Saw V, Paul is shown being kidnapped by Jigsaw and Hoffman for his test in Saw.

Steven Sing

• Portrayed by Ken Leung.
• Appeared in: Saw, Saw V

Steven Sing was a detective who was called to the crime scene investigation of one of Jigsaw's victims. He and his partner, David Tapp, were assigned to the case.

Jigsaw arrived and activated the device forcing the detectives to choose between arresting him or saving Jeff. Sing shot the drills and deactivated them before pursuing Jigsaw through the warehouse after Jigsaw had slashed Tapp's throat. While in pursuit, Sing accidentally activated a tripwire which triggered four shotguns hidden above to fire and kill Sing. Sing's death triggered Tapp's obsession with Jigsaw. In Saw V, Sing was given a police memorial.

Zep Hindle

• Portrayed by Michael Emerson (film) and Jeff Shuter (animated comic).
• Appeared in: Saw: Rebirth, Saw

Zep was an orderly who worked in the hospital where John Kramer, the Jigsaw Killer, was treated for his cancer. He formed a sort of bond with John while he was being treated, but was considered to have "issues of his own" by him. John seemed to see a lot of his own actions in Zep's goals, reminding him of himself before he was diagnosed with cancer. Zep would later be forced to watch Adam Faulkner and Dr. Gordon play out their game that took place in a bathroom. If Lawrence failed to kill Adam by 6 o'clock, then Zep would be forced to kill Lawrence's wife and child, whom he had been holding hostage, in order to save himself from the slow-acting nerve agent in his bloodstream. He would then have to kill Lawrence himself and presumably retrieve an antidote from Jigsaw. Lawrence failed, but his wife and daughter managed to escape from Zep's grip before he could kill them, as Zep was attacked by David Tapp, a former detective who was watching the Gordons' home from across the street. Zep was forced to flee down to the sewers to kill Lawrence, but Tapp followed him, which resulted in a small fight. Zep managed to shoot Tapp in the stomach and continue to the bathroom, where he found Adam and Lawrence. Lawrence shot Adam, and tried to shoot Zep, but didn't have enough bullets. As Zep was about to kill Lawrence, Adam pulled his leg out from under him and attacked him with a toilet cover, bludgeoning him to death with it.

Throughout the film, Zep is presented as a red herring, with the audience being encouraged to believe that he was Jigsaw, rather than a victim of one of Jigsaw's games. On the commentary for Saw, Leigh Whannell and James Wan stated that they wrote the scene to show that Zep enjoyed the sense of power he was given over others which he did not have before. Zep's decomposed corpse was later seen in Saw II and Saw III.

In her attempt to reach an antidote, her wrists became trapped between razor blades. Xavier found her but declined to help her, leaving her to die. In Saw IV she is shown prior to John Kramer becoming Jigsaw, offering him 'company' in her role as a prostitute.

It was revealed in the commentary for the second film that there was a key already in the lock at the back of the trap Addison died in, and all she had to do in order to live was to turn it and grab the antidote. According to the Saw II website, Addison was written to be 29 years old..

Lieutenant Daniel Rigg

• Portrayed by Lyriq Bent.
• Appeared in: Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V

Daniel Rigg was a SWAT officer who first appeared in Saw II, assisting detectives Eric Matthews and Allison Kerry in arresting Jigsaw, but ultimately failed to capture the felon after Eric helped Jigsaw escape. He held the rank of Sergeant for this film, but was promoted to Lieutenant before the events of Saw III. Appearing only briefly in Saw III, Rigg was eventually put into a series of tests as the protagonist in Saw IV, in which he had to rethink many of the Jigsaw Killer's ideals. He suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach in his final test; and it was revealed that he died of blood loss in Saw V and was also given a memorial, along with Detectives Eric Matthews, Allison Kerry, David Tapp, and Steven Sing.

Lyriq Bent has remarked that: "I didn't know what to expect of his character in the fourth movie. Lieutenant Rigg has really come into himself. In Saw II, he was really the strong, silent type that really didn't know what was going on around him. You had a sense that there was something going on with him internally, and I think that sparked a lot of curiosity in the audience. They wanted to know, 'Who is this guy, and what's he all about?' In Saw IV, you get to find out who he is, and what he's all about, and how he feels about the situation that he's in, and how he feels about the type of work that he's in and people and all that. And I think he's a character that people are gonna like, because they can relate to him on so many different levels. He's a real person. In Saw IV, you get to go on a journey with him, and it's pretty much an emotional journey. At the end, I only hope that the audience will be as exhausted and worn out as he is, because he becomes this broken man."

Jeff was kidnapped and subjected to a series of encounters with those he held accountable for the incident, faced with the choice of helping them to live or allowing them to die in their individual traps. Jeff's final test was a confrontation with Jigsaw himself to prove he had learned how to forgive. Jeff claimed to forgive Jigsaw before cutting open his throat. In killing Jigsaw, Jeff inadvertently killed his wife Lynn by triggering her trap. Jigsaw's final message was for Jeff to undergo another test to save his daughter but he was killed by Agent Strahm before he was able to do so.

When asked whether he liked his character even though he hesitated in saving people, Angus Macfadyen said, "Yeah, well, I think it's kind of set up in the film that even though you think he could save them, even when he tries to, it's set-up so it all seems a little too late. That was something we were discussing was how long do you wait and pause? Because if you've done that in one room, you know you can't do that in the next because otherwise it's going to be too late for that person. So we were having lots of debates. And also because each scene, you can't play them all the same. You've got to build in each one. So did I like him? I don't think he liked himself very much."
