The dossier
The ruthless heir of Jigsaw
Mark Hoffman lacks the philosophical nuance and strange empathy of John Kramer. He views the traps not as a path to redemption, but as an incredibly effective method for executing his enemies and covering his own tracks.
Costas Mandylor brings a cold, terrifying physical intensity to the role. Hoffman is a survivor above all else, capable of enduring horrific pain and committing unspeakable acts of violence to ensure he is the last man standing.
His tenure as the primary antagonist drives the back half of the Saw franchise. Hoffman is a fascinating escalation of the series, shifting the threat from a brilliant philosopher to an unstoppable, heavily armed terminator.
