Biography[]
Film[]
After the death of his twin brother Bobby Saint, John and his father Howard came to a tortured Mickey Duka and an angry Quentin Glass as they are discussing and finding out the truth about the meeting gone wrong. Howard was going to kill Mickey Duka, but found out that Duka had told the truth, and spares his life, although Howard shoots and kills one of his own henchmen.
At the Castle family reunion, Howard's men including John, Quentin Glass, another man and Lincoln began their attack. They killed most of Frank Castle's family and left Frank to die in the mess in Puerto Rico. After the massacre, John returned to Tampa, Florida & wasted no words; smacked Mickey Duka in the stomach with today's The Daily Bugle newspaper (about the Castle Family tragically slaughtered in Puerto Rico) so roughly disrespectful so the Saints, including John and Quentin partied in the club called Saints and Sinners. Then he and the others do their dirty business as usual.
On an unwatched beach one night, John Saint with Howard's other men are smuggling their pay of their dirty money, his father Howard Saint expects all fifteen boats to arrive unharmed, John finds an unusual surprise in one of the boats, when he sees one of the explosives saying "Enemy on Front" and hears the rapid beeping of the bomb, then he dove from the boat to the water before the bomb exploded in the boat. He then sees the Punisher in the distance then to the blazing boat in frustration.
During Castle's ambush in Howard's casino, Saints and Sinners, John is trapped in the dust and debris that has fallen on to him. Castle finds him an eight pound trip wire activated grenade in his hand to give him a scary distraction after his gun is swiped out of his reach. John is killed when his arm gives way and screams no, causing the grenade to explode on him.

- Main article: Jigsaw (The Punisher 2005)
Despite his proximity to the bomb, the explosion actually pushed him out of the building, thus sparing him a lethal burn or kinetic shock; however, he was sent through a plate glass window, eviscerating his face, with the best possible surgery only with the best possible outcome of giving him a jigsaw-like pattern of scars on his face, hence his new identity of Jigsaw.
Jigsaw would manipulate various criminal gangs from the Kingpin's organisation in New York, Italian mob in New Jersey, to the Yakuza in Japan, exploiting their weaknesses when the Punisher dismantled them. For his expansion scheme, Jigsaw would take control of a Yakuza gang called the Rising Sun; only half of the group defected to him, but it was enough for him to become the new greatest criminal threat.
Meanwhile, he would be stealing advanced technology, including from Stark Industries, where he would obtain a prototype Iron Man armour for his own purposes. Jigsaw wore the armour before engaging Frank to avenge his own murdered family. Despite an exhaustive battle, the Punisher was able to defeat Jigsaw, removing the armour to return to Stark later, while tossing the weakened man from a helicopter, which finally caused his death when he crashed through a SWAT van roof.
