Biography[]

David was a orderly at a hospital that did not appreciate his job or life. He complained about his job and the way his life was going, coming off as rather grumpy and arrogant. He was later kidnapped by the killer known as Jigsaw. He was put into one of Jigsaw's sadistic games. He had the device known as the reverse beartrap attached to his head. A puppet on a television set told him that he only had one minute to free himself before the trap went off and killed him. David began to panic once more. He soon found a seemingly dead body on the floor. Realizing that the key to his trap was inside the man's intestines. David cut the main open and removed the key from his stomach. David used the key to free himself, seconds before the trap went went off. David let out a horrified scream. He began to cry, due to what he had just witnessed. A Puppet soon appeared and congratulated David. In a panic, David fled and ultimately found a way out of the building.

Following his near-death experience, David went to the police station and was interrogated by a homicide detective. The cop asked him what had happened to him and wanted to know if David had any enemies at the hospital who could have done this to him, which David denied. However, instead of trying to calm him down, the detective put David under pressure and even rebuked him when he learned from David's initial report that the man he had to cut open had still been alive at that point. Ultimately, this caused David to burst into tears, suffering a mental breakdown.

It's unknown what happened to David afterwards.

Personality[]

Following the survival of his near-death experience, the fact that he had killed a man to save himself took a toll on David’s mental state, leaving him emotionally unstable. When he was interrogated and put under pressure by the detective, David suffered a mental breakdown. He was terrified by the traumatic events and felt guilty for killing his cellmate.

Trivia[]
