Clinging to his life, John discovered that only when he knew his death was impending did he really begin to value his life. As John observed other people wasting their lives, people underserving and unappreciative of the life being denied of him, John started his mission to make people appreciate their lives and realize how precious life truly is, one person at a time. His first test subject was Cecil Adams, the man responsible for his unborn son's death, Cecil survived the Knife Trap but tried to attacked John which led to him falling into a pile of razor wire and die.
John spent the next months of his life observing and planning meticulously for his "subjects", painstakingly creating devices to test their desire to live, often through ironic means. For example, Paul Leahy, a man who had slashed his wrists for attention, was sentenced to crawl through a maze of razor wires in order to survive. Placing his victims in death traps, each victim was left a chilling message explaining the "crime" they had committed to deserve their fate and how they could escape alive.
Each was conveyed either by a distorted. They often involved quickly thinking, ethically difficult decisions, self-mutiliation or in some cases putting a victim through psychological trauma that John would often be present to view, unknowing to the victim. As the number of victims increased, authorities nicknamed him as "The Jigsaw Killer" or simply "Jigsaw" for John because of the Jigsaw Piece of Flesh that he would cut from an unsuccessful victim.
The piece was not to be intended to be used as a signature but simply to represent the "piece" of the "human puzzle" that the victims were missing: the survival instinct. Though police intensity continued to increase as more and more bodies were found in incredible and brutal devices, Jigsaw carried out his mission undauted.
Hoffman, seeking revenge for his sister's murder at the hands of Seth Baxter, placed Baxter in a self-created Pendulum Trap that proved to be inescapable. Hoffman ended up pinning the murder on Jigsaw, given the methods used, which earned the ire of John.
Capturing and sedating the corrupt detective and restraining him in a chair, which was connected to a double-barrel shotgun, John told Hoffman that he was not amused by being given credit for the work that was not his. Using his knowledge against Hoffman, John blackmailed Hoffman into becoming his apprentice, showing him a better means to "rehabiliate" the subjects.
Over time, Hoffman became a more willing apprentice, assisting John in capturing some of his test subjects as well as providing John with the crucial files of. The first victim to survive one of Jigsaw's traps was Amanda Young who was placed in the Reverse Beartrap and was forced to kill her cellmate to obtain the key to escape it. One night she returned home following a police interrogation about her ordeal. John confronted her, seeing potential within her. Amanda agreed to become his second apprentice, seeing him as a savior and planned to continue his work after he finally succumbed to the cancer.
John set about training Amanda to possess the beliefs and skills needed to carry out his legacy, struggling to help her cope with her emotional responses to the brutal nature of their work. The pair grew closer with Amanda being great importance to John and Amanda reiprocating these feelings.
Jigsaw's health continued to rapidly decline, gradually reducing his mobility as his body degenerated and withered, confining him to a makeshift hospital bed. He was forced to ensure that Amanda was prepared before his death, but he knew that she was already experiencing problems and not following the rules of Jigsaw's games. Amanda had became a full-out murderer, creating inescapable traps that offered no salvation to their victims. John couldn't allow Amanda to continue on his path when he died, so he prepared a test which would possibly prove if she's capable of carrying on his work.
However Amanda's inclusion as an accomplice in the games had frustrated Hoffman and caused a strain in his relationship with John, so he set out to ensure Amanda failed her test by threatening to tell John that she was partically responsible for Gideon's death.
As John lay on his deathbed, Amanda, at his order, captured Dr. Lynn Denlon, testing her with the ability to keep John alive until another victim, Jeff Denlon, could pass his tests. To ensure Lynn's help, John had Amanda place the Shotgun Collar on her neck that was linked to his heart rate. It would detonate if John died or if Lynn moved out of range. John struggled to cling to life and see his final test complete but his condition deteriorated rapidly, causing Amanda great distress.
Amanda's anxiety grew into hostility towards Lynn, jealous of the attention that Jigsaw was giving to her, intended or otherwise. Her condition worsened when John hallucinated about his ex-wife, Jill Tuck, and said he loves her which Amanda mistakened that for Lynn. As the tests continued, Amanda began to become.
His depression over the loss of his child hit its climax when he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. After Kramer and his wife had separated and he had cut himself off from the outside world completely, he decided to take his own life, driving his car over a cliff. Kramer survived the crash, and overcame a copious amount of pain to crawl to safety.
Kramer realized it was only in this moment of great danger that he truly appreciate the life he had.
The Jigsaw killer was born. Kramer crafted a philosophy built on awakening people who seemingly had no respect for human life and giving them an appreciation for it. Kramer adopted the alias Jigsaw and used his engineering experience to devise dangerous mutilating traps for his victims. Cecil Billy Otis shed a lot of blood surviving the trap built by Kramer, which he immediately proved it had taught him nothing by lunging at Kramer.
Jigsaw then began plotting the traps and tests for dozens of victims. But Hoffman had a severe mental breakdown after his little sister was beaten to death by her boyfriend, Seth Joris Jarsky. After he was apprehended, Seth was acquitted on a technicality, which caused Hoffman to lose faith in the justice system.
John Kramer found out about what Hoffman had done and punished him by putting him in a trap of his own. The original Jigsaw did not kill people. Bear traps are designed to catch and hold the leg of a bear, not cut it off. Your leg may be badly bruised, but it should not be severely injured or amputated.
The function of this trap is similar to the blood eagle, a method of ancient Nordic execution. Otherwise, the trap would be activated after 60 seconds. Then, Jeff shoots Amanda in the neck. Moreover, Bobby Dagen's self-help group showed that the survivors of the traps were left with both mental and physical scars, trauma that will never go away. Overall, Jigsaw died deluded that putting people in lethal situations could ever help them. Apart from freelance writing, Saim is a lifestyle blogger, co-owning the blog 3 States Apart.
