Biography[]

Early Life[]

Franklin Sing was a young boy and the son of Melissa Sing and Steven Sing, a homicide detective who worked for the Metropolitan Police Department. His life changed dramatically when his father was killed by a trap set up by a wanted serial killer known as Jigsaw. Following Steven's death, Melissa suffered from severe depression. Unable to cope with her grief, she began neglecting herself and her son and blamed her husband's partner, Detective David Tapp, for her crisis as she deemed him responsible for Steven's demise. On one occasion, Elizabeth Harris, Franklin's school counselor, sought talks with Melissa as Franklin had come to school unfed and with dirty clothes. However, Melissa did not respond to her call, which caused Elizabeth to report the situation to the County Office of Child Protective Services. (Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood)

Abduction[]

Due to the child neglect and Melissa's hatred for Tapp, she and Franklin were eventually abducted by Jigsaw. He took them to the abandoned Whitehurst Insane Asylum and put Melissa in a gruesome trap in the asylum's chapel. Melissa was forced to stand between two metal plates equipped with numerous rotating saw blades with her hands strapped behind her back. (Saw: The Video Game)

Captivity[]

Eventually, Detective Tapp saved Melissa from Jigsaw's trap as part of his own game set up by the killer. Melissa followed him to the Pine Ward, but after only a few minutes, she left him again. Before abandoning him, she stated that she could not forgive Tapp for her husband's death and that he deserved this game. Shortly afterward, Jigsaw sent his pig-masked accomplice after her to force her to play another game. After subduing her, Pighead sewed her mouth shut and gave her an audiotape recorded by Jigsaw, which informed her that he had also abducted her son. To save him, Melissa had to follow Jigsaw's instructions and keep Tapp on track until 6:00. Eager to see Franklin again, Melissa accepted her task and put several obstacles in Tapp's path. (Saw: The Video Game)

Escape[]

Later that night, Melissa and Franklin were released after Tapp had chosen to let go of his pursuit of Jigsaw in exchange for the freedom of all the victims trapped at Whitehurst. (Saw: The Video Game, Saw II: Flesh & Blood)

Personality[]

Little can be said about Franklin Sing's personality due to his short screen time.

Trivia[]
