Chuck is a minor antagonist in Saw II: Flesh & Blood. He is one of the many criminals arrested by Detective Tapp who serve as enemies throughout the game, wanting revenge on his son Michael Tapp, the protagonist.
What makes him a Hate Sink?[]
- He was a drug dealer.
- When he was arrested, he successfully falsely incriminated his best customer, Robert, who trusted Chuck completely, as an accomplice to his dealings, getting Robert wrongfully sent to prison in order to get himself an undeserved reduced sentence for supposedly testifying against his partner.
- Because of him, Robert's drug addiction dramatically worsened while he was in prison. This also led to the Jigsaw Killer, John Kramer, abducting Robert and placing him in a similar test, to try and "cure" Robert of his addiction. This ultimately leads to both Chuck and Robert dying when they fail their tests.
- His "test" is to move forward from the column he is chained to and take someone with him back to the column, which will somehow release him from the chain around his neck, while keeping himself from harming the person with the razor blades that have been embedded in his arms. Instead, upon seeing Michael, he becomes extremely angry and tries to move forward and murder Michael with his razor blades before taking his corpse back to the column to free himself. This shows that he is murderously vengeful against Detective Tapp for rightfully arresting him for his drug crimes, and extends that hatred to his son Michael. It should be remembered that he got off lighter than he should because of his incrimination of Robert, meaning that he doesn't think he should have been punished at all, and Tapp or his son deserve to be murdered by him for his arrest in spite of him getting off lighter than he should have. This also indicates he has absolutely no remorse for what he did to Robert.
- Aside from his unlikable actions and rotten personality, he is also incredibly stupid. He thinks it's a good idea to let Michael know he's going to kill him instead of pretending to just want Michael to cooperate and help free him from the column by lying that he will do his best not to hurt him with the razor blades and trying to act like a sympathetic victim of the Jigsaw Killer to Michael to get him to sympathize with him. This shows that he doesn't think smart. Furthermore, he threatens Michael by saying that the chain can't hold him forever and he will soon break free from it and kill Michael. Obviously, there is no way a normal human can break a metal chain on their own, and there is no way a genius engineer like the Jigsaw Killer, John Kramer, would make such an oversight as to invest in a chain that weak. These remarks make him look incredibly foolish. While one could make the argument that Chuck is blinded by rage, unlike Robert, Chuck has no legitimate reason to be so angry. While Robert is mad at Michael because his father arrested him for a crime he did not commit (albeit, Robert should have been more understanding since he was likely aware of the fact that Detective Tapp was unaware of Chuck's lies), Chuck is mad because he was rightfully punished for a crime he actually did perform (and got off for lighter than he should have).
- Overall, Chuck is a traitorous, remorseless, murderously vengeful drug dealer who holds people accountable for what their family members do, refuses to accept responsibility for his crimes, and gives in to unjustified blind rage instead of thinking smart. He is also an idiot, believing that he can break a metal chain around his neck and that the obviously highly intelligent and resourceful man who somehow learned that he had falsely incriminated Robert when even the police couldn't figure that out, kidnapped him and brought him to an abandoned chemical plant, and hooked him up to a column with a metal chain with a wench that regularly extended to allow him to move forward a certain distance before pulling him back on a periodic sequence, would be foolish enough to use a chain that weak.
- One final reason to hate Chuck is that if he catches you, it's instant death, and the checkpoint leading up to him is farther back than it needs to be and requires you to repeat puzzles to get back to him and try again.
