Connections to John Kramer (aka, Jigsaw)

Being the nerd that I am I have decided to write out all the known connections between Saw characters. I tried to stay in chronological order the best I could, but there are no promises.
Let's start with John Kramer...

Jill Tuck:
Ex-wife. Ran the Homeward Bound clinic with John's slogan, "Cherish Your Life." Treated future Jigsaw victims Amanda, Cecil, Gus, Paul, Michael, Troy, and the unnamed man. The only known survivor who was a user of the clinic was Amanda who inadvertently caused the loss of Gideon Kramer, John and Jill's unborn son. Jill was under heavy scrutiny by Agent Peter Strahm when the FBI got involved with the Jigsaw murders, but he never uncovered evidence to keep her under investigation. Jill knew about John's work but lacks the desire to continue it on a permanent basis. She was left a box negotiated through John's last will and testament and was determined to carry out his final wish.

Gideon Kramer:
John and Jill's deceased, unborn child.

Det. Mark Hoffman:
Police detective who has been involved in every Jigsaw case. Framed John via the Pendulum Trap for the murder of Seth Baxter, the man who killed Mark's sister Angelina. Shortly after he was captured by John and tested. After intriguing him, Mark was recruited as an apprentice and continued to do so until after John's death. He was warned by John of another test through a hidden tape cassette and was placed in the Reverse Bear Trap 2.0 after attempting to walk away untested and scot free.

Amanda Young:
Ex-con and heroin addict. A regular at Jill's drug clinic, Amanda inadvertently caused the death of Gideon Kramer by forcing Cecil to break in and rob Jill. She was later captured and tested via the Reverse Bear Trap and was the only known Jigsaw survivor up to that time. By surviving the test she was successfully "reborn" in John's eyes. She was later recruited as a second apprentice and tested again after her traps appeared to be unwinnable. The final game resulted in her death after being shot in the neck by Jeff Reinhart.

Dr. Lawrence Gordon:
Oncologist and surgeon. Served as John's doctor while undergoing cancer diagnosis and treatments. Was captured and placed in the Bathroom Trap while a secondary game with his family was being held. After gaining knowledge of the secondary game he chose to saw through his foot to escape. Dr. Gordon's whereabouts are still unknown.

Adam Faulkner:
Undercover photographer. Served as a victim in the Bathroom Trap and was Dr. Gordon's target to win. He was left chained in the bathroom by John and was later suffocated to death by Amanda. No further connection to John is known.

Zep Hindle:
Orderly. Was a frequent orderly for John while he underwent cancer treatments. Was the main subject of the secondary game played during the Bathroom. His aim in the game was to kill Dr. Gordon's wife and daughter if he failed. He monitored the Bathroom Trap and was ultimately killed by Adam. Any further connection to John is unknown.

Alison Gordon:
Lawrence Gordon's wife. Involved in Zep's game. No direct connection to John is known.

Diana Gordon:
Lawrence and Alison Gordon's daughter. Involved in Zep's game. No direct connection to John is known.

Det. Tapp:
Police detective who was involved in the Jigsaw murder investigations. He was tricked into following Dr. Gordon as a suspect and continued to follow him even after his name was cleared. He was injured by John in a raid attempt of his lair. His partner, Det. Sing, was killed in action during the raid attempt. He survived his injury but was later indirectly killed by Zep.

Det. Sing:
Police detective who was involved in the Jigsaw murder investigations. He was killed in action by a Shotgun Trap hidden in the hallways of John's lair.

She was the officer who located Dr. Gordon's penlight, which John had Hoffman plant, at the scene of Mark's death. She convinced Det. Eric Matthews to assist her in investigating John and tried to help him stay in his game and not lose his temper after finding out John had abducted his son, Daniel. When Eric failed and was led away from the lair she located Daniel kept in the safe being administered oxygen. She was the officer who first found the inconsistencies in Troy's chain trap and was soon after captured and placed in the Angel Trap. She was killed in the trap.

Det. Eric Matthews:
Police detective who is known for his fearlessness and intimidation. He is also known to have framed suspects by planting evidence to obtain false convictions. Was led to John via the Venus Fly Trap and discovered that he had abducted his son, Daniel, and placed him in a game. John gave Eric a game proposal directly after his discovery to sit and listen to him until the time clock ran out. Eric allowed his temper to take over him and failed his test. After being brutally assaulted, John led Eric to the house Daniel was kept in. While frantically searching for his son he was knocked out and chained to the Bathroom by Amanda, one of the suspects he framed and sent to prison. He escaped, was captured again, held captive for 6 months, and ultimately killed by Sgt. Rigg after he failed his final test.

Was placed in a game by John in an attempt to teach him his methods and prove that he couldn't save everybody. He was ultimately set up to appear at the scene of Kerry's death. By failing his final test he caused the death of Eric Matthews and Art Blank. He was killed by a gunshot wound fired by Eric.

She was killed by the Shotgun Collar when John's life ended.

Jeff Reinhart:
Lynn Denlon's husband. Placed in a game through the Gideon Meatpacking building. Was faced with those involved in the death of his son, Dylan. Ultimately shot and killed Amanda after seeing her shoot his wife, Lynn, in the abdomen.

Agent Peter Strahm:
FBI agent. He was brought in with his partner, Agent Perez, to find the person aiding John and Amanda. He also made it his mission to uncover the involvement of Jill Tuck in the Jigsaw murders. He was led to the Gideon building and warned not to proceed after finding the dead bodies of John, Amanda, Lynn, and Jeff. He chose to proceed and was captured and placed in the Water Cube. He survived by giving himself a tracheotomy with an ink pen. He began to investigate and suspect Mark Hoffman, even after being taken off the case. He was framed as the second Jigsaw apprentice the police had been searching for by Mark Hoffman and led to the crushing room where he was killed. Peter was framed to give immunity to Jill.

Agent Lindsay Perez:
FBI agent. Brought in with her partner, Agent Strahm, to find the person aiding John and Amanda.

He was placed in the Pendulum Trap, and unwinnable trap, shortly after being released from prison on a technicality. It was observed and made clear by John that it was not one of his own traps.

*sigh*
That's all I have for John and yes, it took a long time to write. I don't think I made any mistakes and if I did, don't base them on speculation. I based everything on what we know for sure as of right now.
I'm currently working on a connection list to Amanda and plan on starting one for Det. Hoffman, Jill, and Det. Matthews.

Stay tuned, I guess.
