Biography[]

Early Life[]

Ray Watkins was the husband of Marie Watkins. In his early life, he used to work at an unknown plant. However, it was temporarily shut down at one point, forcing Ray to look for another job to nourish his family. Eventually, he became the head custodian of the Whitehurst Insane Asylum. Therefore, he had to go to another city and regularly sent his money to his family, hoping the plant he used to work at would soon open up again. While he was away, Ray often sent letters to Marie in which he talked about his work and how much he missed her. (Saw: The Video Game)

The Whitehurst Insane Asylum[]

Soon after taking up the new job, Ray had problems adjusting to his work, especially since the executives seemingly did not care about the custodial staff's safety. For example, they used a boiler, which was too small for the size of the building. Therefore, it had to be permanently kept on high pressure to heat all of the rooms. One day, one of the seals broke near the boiler, causing hot steam to come out of it. Thereby, one of Ray's colleagues, Bruce, was severely injured and probably lost his arm afterward. On other occasions, people started to get sick due to poisonous substances released by mixing the cleaning chemicals. Furthermore, Ray was unsatisfied with most of his co-workers, deeming them too incompetent.

However, he quickly started to get along with the patients of Whitehurst and became friends with them. Therefore, he became convinced that these people were not truly insane. One of these patients was a woman named Emma, who reminded Ray of his wife due to her looks, smell, and laugh. He even passed on seeing his family during the holidays to stay with Emma and his other friends. Eventually, however, he quit his job at Whitehurst for an unknown reason and was succeeded by Francis Merkin. (Saw: The Video Game)
