George Washington

George Washington is better known as "Sticky" among friends, mainly because everything he reads sticks in his head and also because he is rather slender. Of the four to join the Mysterious Benedict Society, Sticky was the most reluctant to join the group. In the first book, his high intellect helps the society with morse code, which helps them contact Mr.Benedict, Rhonda, and Number Two (Pencilla). In the Perilous Journey, he helps the society translate all foreign languages they come across (they are on an international scavenger hunt). In the end he also motivates everyone and also puts more effort into getting Mr.Benedict and Milligan to safety. Reynie refers to this as "Sticky at his finest". In the Prisoner's Dillema, he uses his intellect as usual, but in this book his claim to fame is tricking the Ten Man Sharpe into knocking himself out. Sticky is famous polishing his spectacles when nervous, and memorizing things with the merest glance.
