Miss Perumal
Jackson is an Executive, a staff member at the Institute and a henchman to Mr. Curtain. He usually appears in tandem with his fellow Executive, Jillson. He is rude and dismissive to the Mysterious Benedict Society, and he demonstrates a whole-hearted dedication to Mr. Curtain. The children later learn that Jackson was one of Mr. Curtain’s “special recruits” to the Institute—an orphan who has been kidnapped and brainwashed. Special recruits are usually more devoted to Mr. Curtain than other students, since they owe Mr. Curtain a debt of gratitude for taking them in. Though the children bear some sympathy to Jackson and Jillson after learning this, the Executives are too horrible to elicit any goodwill.
