Mark Hoffman

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

Previously, Mark Hoffman was a respected and responsible police officer who sought to do justice to both criminals and their victims. He was even willing to break the law to protect others if he felt they were being treated unfairly. He was also a loving brother, sharing a deep emotional relationship with his sister, Angelina, who was his only family. After Angelina was killed by Seth Baxter, Hoffman suffered a mental breakdown, which led to severe depression, as well as alcohol problems. As his mental state only worsened over time, he began to show obvious signs of sociopathy to such an extent that he even used murderous brutality against suspects and criminals. Hoffman became deaf to the suffering of others. He seemed to have hardened himself to the outside world, buried himself in his work and just walked by, rather than fiercely fighting for others who were offended, as he once was. Hoffman rarely talked to people about issues that were not related to work. Despite this, Hoffman still acted as a hardworking officer and did not lose the respect of his colleagues. В то же время Хоффман очень мстителен и был способен пойти на многое, чтобы отомстить. Он зашел достаточно далеко, чтобы отомстить Сету Бакстеру: он соорудил сложную механическую ловушку, имитирующую почерк Пилы, но не оставил шансов на спасение. In the case of Jill Tuck, Hoffman killed many of his former colleagues without the slightest doubt. When it comes to revenge, Hoffman is ruthless and does not shy away from dirty methods. At the same time, he adheres to a certain symbolism, according to the principle of "an eye for an eye." Seth Baxter, who cut Angelina Ecomb's throat, was cut with a pendulum, and Jill, who tried to execute Hoffman with a jackhammer, was seated by the detective in the same chair to which she had chained him earlier, after which he put a similar device on her head.

His personality underwent another decisive turn when he was recruited by John Kramer. While Hoffman seemed to have no problem killing criminals, he initially felt remorse for putting innocent people in John's terrible traps. However, he eventually got used to this kind of work and at some point even began to enjoy torturing and killing others. After John's death, when he didn't have to continue to fear exposure of what he had done to Seth Baxter, Hoffman decided to continue his business just for the fun of it. However, Hoffman's most dangerous trait is intelligence. He is able to plan and perform extremely complex operations. Without a certified engineering degree, Hoffman is able to create his own traps that are not inferior to John's creations. It is also in Hoffman's power to mislead his colleagues from the police. For a very long time, he managed to hide his involvement in crimes and divert the investigation to the side. In addition, he is also able to avoid dangerous and potentially fatal situations by resorting to non-standard solutions, as well as adapt very quickly to the unexpected.
