Mark Hoffman

Personality:   In his early life, Mark Hoffman was a honorable and responsible police officer, eager to bring justice to both, criminals and their victims. Therefore, he was also willing to break the law for the sake of protecting others if he felt that they were treated unfairly otherwise. He was also a loving brother, sharing a deep and emotional relationship with his sister, Angelina, who was his only family. Therefore, her death had a big impact on Hoffman's life and personality. After Angelina was killed by Seth Baxter, Hoffman suffered a mental breakdown, resulting in severe depression as well as a drinking problem. As his mental state worsened over time, he began to show relatively obvious signs of sociopathy to the point that he even used lethal violence against suspects and criminals. Hoffman's personality became monotonous and apathetic to the suffering of others. He appeared to harden himself to the outside world, burying himself in his work and simply going through the motions rather than passionately fighting for others who had been wronged like he once had. Hoffman rarely talked to people about matters that were not related to work. Despite this, Hoffman still acted as a hard-working officer and lost nothing of his colleagues' respect for him. Hoffman was also a very vengeful person, willing to go to great lengths in order to get his revenge, going as far as to build an elaborate mechanical trap for Seth Baxter and making it inescapable, framing Jigsaw for this. He went as far as to make his voice sound like the one of Jigsaw. In the case of Jill Tuck, he even killed numerous of his former colleagues without any hesitation. When taking revenge on someone, Hoffman used to do so by using brutal, symbolic, vicious and painful methods to kill the person or persons. His personality took another drastic turn when he was recruited by John Kramer to help him with his work. While Hoffman seemingly had no problem with killing criminals, he initially felt remorse for putting innocent people in John's gruesome traps. However, he eventually got used to this kind of work and at some point even began to take pleasure in torturing and killing others. After John's death, when he did not need to continue for fear of being exposed for what he did to Seth Baxter, Hoffman decided to continue it simply because he enjoyed it. Hoffman did not get along well with Amanda Young, who competed with Hoffman for John's affection. Hoffman saw Amanda as an ungrateful junkie who wasted her life, while Amanda saw Hoffman as only good for manual labor. Because Hoffman never fully adopted John's methods and philosophy, preferring only to torture others for personal amusement, he never wore the black and red robes that John and Amanda wore. Whenever Hoffman abducted victims for a trap, he would wear the blue parka he wore the night he killed Seth Baxter, to further drive a wedge between himself, John and Amanda. Hoffman also appears to struggle with being faced with the consequences of his actions, as shown when he turned away while watching the deaths of Peter Strahm or Jill Tuck and even Seth Baxter. It should be noted that Hoffman was highly intelligent and was, therefore, able to plan and execute extremely complex operations. Hoffman was capable of designing his own mechanical traps and talking in riddles to police and test subjects. Despite this, Hoffman was capable of being confused and surprised. As shown when Lawrence Gordon was revealed to have been an accomplice to John ever since surviving his test and had been ordered to punish Hoffman if he took things too far. This shows that he did not think about the possibility of John having a plan to deal with him in the same way he did Amanda if he strayed from John's philosophy. Besides this, he was also able to escape dangerous and potentially deadly situations by unconventional means. This ability made Hoffman especially dangerous and unpredictable. He's also sadistic and gets off to seeing people tied up.
