Sir Benjamin Lockwood is a philanthropist and John Hammond's original partner on the Jurassic Park project. Following the death of his Daughter, he sought to resurrect her using InGen's cloning technology. This lead to a falling out between the pair and saw Lockwood ousted from the project.
The Chairman of the Lockwood Foundation who would later back an expedition to Isla Nublar to rescue the last remaining dinosaurs on the island before they were wiped out by an active Mt. Sibo. Though Lockwood planned for the animals to be relocated to an Island Sanctuary, the expedition was usurped by the Head of the foundation, Eli Mills. Mills had arranged for the capture and transport of the dinosaurs back to the Estate for sale by auction to fund his real agenda; the creation of the Indoraptor.
Upon discovering this Lockwood was outraged, threatening to reveal everything to the public leaving Mills with no choice but to smother the ailing man in his bed, claiming he had died in his sleep.
Biography
Jurassic Park
John Hammond partnered with Lockwood as young men, endeavouring to find a way to bring Dinosaurs back to life through a process they were developing called De-Extinction. The first successful attempt was in the Basement Lab at Lockwood's Estate in California.
At some point during the project, his Daughter died, supposedly in a car accident. Consumed by grief, Lockwood began planning to use the technology that he and Hammond had developed to bring her back to life. Hammond was horrified by what Lockwood wanted to do and forced him off the project.
Later Life
Lockwood would continue with his plan to revive his Daughter however and was eventually successful in creating Maisie, and identical clone. He and his housekeeper Iris would raise her as his Granddaughter, with no knowledge of her true origin or Mother.
In his later life, Lockwood would hire Eli Mills straight out of college to guide his fortune into the future. As the years progress he would gradually fall into ill health, eventually becoming wheelchair bound and requiring additional oxygen.
Isla Nublar Crisis
Lockwood Foundation Expedition
Seeking the right the wrongs of the past, Lockwood organised an Expedition through his Foundation that would travel to Isla Nublar and rescue the endangered animals for transport to a new Island Sanctuary.
