Sir Benjamin Lockwood is John Hammond's partner in developing the technology to clone dinosaurs, though he is not mentioned in prior films or novels. Lockwood had a daughter who died in a traffic collision and he aimed to use the technology to clone her. This led to his falling out with Hammond. His cloned daughter Maisie was born nine years before the events of "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" and twelve years after Hammond's death. With the help of housekeeper Iris, Lockwood raises the clone to believe that she was his orphaned granddaughter named Maisie and that his daughter was Maisie's late-mother.
