Julia Sigsby is the main antagonist of the novel The Institute. She is the director of The Institute, a top secret agency which tortured and killed children with telekinetic or telepathic powers in order to save the world from complete destruction.

History[]

Julia ruled The Institute with an iron fist and was strongly disliked by the children there as well as most of the workers. She also watched the children move about The Institute via surveillance cameras and was not afraid to severely hurt children in order to make them do what she wanted. Following Luke Ellis's escape, she joined several other members of The Institute in the operation to capture him. This mission failed and Julia was placed under arrest by the DuPray police department. She was later killed by Stackhouse after being ambushed.

Personality[]

Julia is an evil psychopath who shows zero remorse for her actions nor does she care what happens to the children as long as they don't escape The Institute. She is prone to get angry rather quickly and seems to have a strong dislike of children. She has been assaulted a few times by children who are either angry or scared, which doesn't bother her. She is also extremely controlling, forcing children to do things they don't want to do by frightening them with the threat of hurting them. Despite her hatred and general disregard or lack of care for the children at The Institute, she still seems to show them a bit of respect, at one point telling her assistant not to joke about Kalisha Benson, saying that she was one of The Institute's charges.

Appearance[]

Julia is an extremely thin woman who wears a plum colored suit. Her hair is thinning and she has the facial appearance of a strict headmistress who won't stand nonsense from any student.
