Doctor Jackall hired Catrin Cheshire to help find the Queen’s Jewels and made a mesmerizing automaton to hypnotize the Chief Whip and the Barkingham Yeomen to easily get the Queen’s Jewels. He wants the Jewels in order to complete an alchemical process in order to stay as his more powerful duality, Mister Hound.

Wizard, you vex me. It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it. I have discovered the duality of self. In doing so, I tapped into an alternate, more powerful form. One unbound by rules and conscience. Call him Mister Hound! But I cannot maintain Hound’s form for long. I am trapped in this weak, pitiful body of Jackall. However, with the Queen’s Jewels, I can perfect my alchemical solution, and become Mister Hound forevermore. You understand the call of power, do you not? Leave me to my research, or else we will become mortal enemies.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a Gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of Jekyll Hyde, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or simply Jekyll and Hyde. The novella follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll, and a murderous criminal named Edward Hyde. It is revealed at the end of the novella that Jekyll and Hyde are the same person, with Jekyll transforming into Hyde via an unnamed chemical concoction to live out his darker urges.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is one of the most famous pieces of English literature, and is considered to be a defining book of the gothic horror genre. The novella has also had a sizable impact on popular culture, with the phrase “Jekyll and Hyde” being used in vernacular to refer to people with an outwardly good but sometimes shockingly evil nature.
