He is the director of the Bank of Evil and Victor "Vector" Perkins' father.
He is voiced by Will Arnett.
Personality[]
Mr. Perkins is an even tempered, yet cold-blooded and ruthless man. In Minions: The Rise of Gru, he is depicted as a bank teller in the 70s for the Bank of Evil. Mr. Perkins first encounters a young Gru who accompanies Wild Knuckles in a bank heist scheme where Wild Knuckles fakes a heart attack, which allows Gru to steal the Mona Lisa from the bank vault.
Despite this incident, Mr. Perkins stayed on at the Bank of Evil and was eventually promoted to director. He dislikes Gru (possibly the pittance of profitability in Gru's former criminal activities as well for stealing the Mona Lisa when he was a child) and stated that he preferred to use younger villains, such as his son, due to their grander and trend-worthy vision. Mr. Perkins also compared Gru to an apple and crushed two apples when speaking to him on different occasions. The reason for this is because younger villains are overly ambitious for their own good and eager to make a name for themselves compared to already established career villains like Gru who were extremely successful at their jobs, making the new blood envious as well potentially more dangerous and harder to control.
Perkins has a strong bond with his son Vector. On his desk, there is a picture of him giving Vector a piggy-back ride when Vector was young. He praises Vector more than he admonishes him.
In Descriptictable Me 4 he at some point got caught by the AVL and is in their prison.
