The Home Office security supervisor, described as cadaverous, has a detrimental effect on those around him. His involvement tends to evoke fear and distress, highlighting the negative impact he has on the environment. Babies cry out, women become fearful, and those who are innocent are often unfairly punished, suggesting a pattern of harshness and blame. This creates a pervasive atmosphere of anxiety and injustice.

This portrayal illustrates the supervisor's role as a figure of authority who misuses his power. Instead of promoting safety and fairness, he creates a culture where blame is misallocated, and people suffer from his arbitrary decisions. This dynamic reflects broader themes of power, fear, and the consequences of a flawed justice system, which are crucial elements explored in Christopher Fowler's "Bryant & May Investigate the Victoria Vanishes."
