Is the comma necessary?

It has always been Jackson, who assigns the English articles to the editors.

Is the comma after "Jackson" necessary?

Thanks!

Not just unnecessary, but incorrect.

N.B. For future reference, please be aware that questions about commas will normally be answered in this forum only where, as in this case, they relate to restrictive vs. nonrestrictive clauses/phrases (i.e. essentially a grammar, rather than a simple punctuation, issue.)
