While we know that Ben Barnes will be portraying the character of Jigsaw in the show (albeit a pre-disfigured version), the topic of the series' main villain has continued to elude online discussion. We now, however, know that Paul Schulze will be playing William Rawlins, and today's trailer just provided our first glimpse of him.

Introduced by Garth Ennis during the aforementioned Max series, Rawlins formed a partnership with another Punisher villain, Nicky Cavella, and did a whole lot of nasty things with the CIA during his time spent with the Agency. The character also - wouldn't you know it - lost an eye after getting on the wrong end of Castle, which makes placing this particular scene of torture a somewhat difficult task.

We can guess that Frank is the one tied up, but why?
