He is supposed to be the ship's doctor for my pirate crew. The idea of the saw instead of the arm started from the fact that in the pirate crews the ship's doctor was also a carpenter as he used the saw to cut wood as well as to cut bones. So I got the idea of a completely mad doctor (a villain a bit like the Joker so to speak).
I also explored a different version of this character, in which instead I gave him a more elegant and refined look (I imagined him a bit like Jafar as a type of villain), in which case I thought of removing the prosthesis-saw to make the character more sneaky, two-faced.
However in the end I chose the first version which was more in line with the original idea I had for this character.
