While initially shaken by the situation, Mallick quickly turned into a character viewers could root for. An addict in need of salvation, Mallick was placed among the Saw V group of schemers and scammers for essentially causing the fire that led to the cover up. Mallick definitely had some wavering moments, but his ability to outlast, guided by Brit, lead to his salvation. His ultimate willingness to follow through on plans and never back down are inspiring and horrifying at the same time.

Saw II had plenty of
haphazardly stumbled through the nerve gas house just praying they'd
survive. Their meekness, weakness and general unwillingness to actively
follow through led to many of them succumbing. The fact is outside of Amanda
Young and Daniel Matthews who stood out for their partnership, Xavier
Chavez was the only real potential survivor. Easily one of the series most
villainous characters, Chavez was brutal and fully willing to do anything it
took to live. He openly criticized, manhandled and eventually attacked the
others in the home. He also scores additional points for figuring out the code
to escape.

Using her intelligence to defy all expectations, Lynn Denlon was
the star of Saw III. Wearing a shotgun collar, the doctor was charged
with operating on Jigsaw, all while a crazed Amanda Young stood by anxious and
aggressive. However, Denlon's calm demeanor and ability to charm kept her on
Jigsaw's good side and eventually, succeeded in her task. Unfortunately the
increasingly unhinged Young cost her everything and blew her own test in the
process; killing the empowered Denlon in the process. Denlon was one of the
most intelligent and poised in the franchise and deserved more than her sad
end.

Instantly acting as the more level-headed, driven partner of
Mallick, Brit is one of the series more underrated characters. She was able to
make it to the end with little to no help from others and near consistently
kept her cool. She's a rare leader in a collection of more sheepish
characters. Her awareness, determination and aggression all help her survive in
the end. While Mallick may have been a surprise survivor, no one should have
ever doubted that Brit would walk out in the end.

Similar to Daniel Rigg, Allison Kerry is often ignored in the
pantheon of great Saw characters; this supporting protagonist actually
had quite a run in her. Not only did she eventually go all in on her trap, but
this perceptive detective drew conclusions and made decisions others ignored or
couldn't make. Had it not been for an unbeatable trap, Kerry probably could
have become an impressive force against Jigsaw and his network of minions.
She's a bit relentless, but engaged in her career, she's a perfect character
who- like Denlon - had a future. You know, if Amanda hadn't unfairly worked to
take it away.
