Flashbacks from Saw IV reveal the earliest roots of the series, which presented John Kramer as a successful civil engineer and devoted husband to his wife Jill, who opened a rehab clinic for drug addicts. Tragically, Jill lost her baby due to the inadvertent actions of a drug addict named Cecil, who fled the scene. John grieved over the loss of his child and distanced himself from his friends and wife.

Jill and John eventually drifted apart and divorced. After this turn of events, John found himself in a rut that he was too complacent with to give up. This lifestyle continued for years until John became sick and was diagnosed with an inoperable frontal lobe tumor. Extremely bitter over his squandered life, John began observing the lives of others, and was even more depressed when he sees them squandering the gift of life that he had just been denied. After surviving a suicide attempt when he drove his car off a cliff, John became "reborn", and nurtured the idea that the only way for someone to change is for them to change themselves. He designed a test for Cecil and decided to use the rest of his existence to design more of these traps, changing the world "one person at a time", thus assuming the identity of the "Jigsaw Killer", so named because he removed a puzzle piece shaped chunk of flesh from those who do not escape his traps.

Few of John's victims are able to survive his brutal tests, which are often ironically symbolic representations of the problems in the victim's life and require them to undergo severe physical or psychological torture to escape. The first surviving victim, Amanda Young, views Jigsaw as her hero who ultimately changed her life for the better. Amanda, upon Jigsaw's request, agrees to become his protégé. She oversees Detective Eric Matthew's test in Saw II, but is angry when she observes that the test has not changed his selfishness and begins designing inescapable traps, much to Jigsaw's chagrin. Forensic Hoffman, who seems to be on the trail of Jigsaw since Saw II is eventually revealed to be his actual successor when Amanda fails to abide by Jigsaw's rules.

In the first Saw, Jigsaw has chained Dr. Lawrence Gordon, who diagnosed his cancer, in a dilapidated industrial washroom with Adam Faulkner, the private investigator who has been taking pictures of the doctor cheating on his wife. Lawrence has instructions to kill Adam in eight hours, or else his wife and daughter will be killed. Meanwhile, detectives David Tapp and Steven Sing, who suspect Lawrence of being the killer, follow a trail of clues from his other traps. Eventually, Lawrence saws his own foot off to escape and leaves Adam alone, when it is revealed that the supposed corpse that has been in the room the entire time is actually a disguised Jigsaw, who leaves Adam sealed in the room to die. Flashbacks from later films show that Amanda returns and suffocates Adam as a mercy killing.

Saw II begins with the police tracking a severely weakened Jigsaw in his newest lair. However, another test is in place, as he has kidnapped the son of Detective Eric Matthews and trapped him and a group of seven convicts previously framed by Matthews in a house that is slowly being filled with a toxic nerve gas, Amanda among them. He will trade Daniel Matthews' life for Detective Matthews' time conversing with him until the game is concluded. Matthews loses his patience and assaults Jigsaw, and Jigsaw escapes as Eric goes to the house shown on Jigsaw's screens, only to discover that the test in the house occurred much earlier and was videotaped; although his son is safe, Matthews is knocked unconscious by a masked figure who is later revealed to be Amanda. Matthews wakes up imprisoned in the bathroom from the first film, in the foundation of the house.

The events of Saw III and IV occur concurrently. Saw III begins when Jigsaw, weakened from his disease, is confined to a makeshift hospital bed, and Amanda picks up his work, designing traps of her own. However, these traps have no escape, as Amanda is convinced that Jigsaw's traps have no effect. A kidnapped doctor is forced to keep Jigsaw alive while another test is performed on Jeff, a man obsessed with vengeance on the drunk driver who killed his son. Jigsaw, unwilling to allow "a murderer" to continue his legacy, designs a large, complex test for Amanda, which she ultimately fails, resulting in the deaths of both Jigsaw and Amanda. Saw IV, meanwhile, revolves around tests meant for Officer Rigg, which are overseen by Forensic Hoffman, who has been chosen to be Jigsaw's second apprentice in the event that Amanda is not capable of assuming that role. Rigg fails his tests and is left in the factory by Hoffman, who later discovers Jigsaw's and Amanda's bodies.

Saw IV ends on a cliffhanger when an autopsy is performed on Jigsaw and a cassette tape coated in wax is found in his stomach. The tape informs Hoffman that, although he has been chosen to continue Jigsaw's purpose, he should not expect to go untested, and that Jigsaw's games have just begun.
