Played by James Cromwell, Sir Benjamin Lockwood first appears in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," and his inclusion in the "Jurassic" canon is a bit problematic when you think about it. Said to be a close friend of John Hammon's and the original co-founder of InGen, Lockwood only appears in "Fallen Kingdom," with a brief mention again in "Dominion." While that's not an issue in itself, it becomes one when we realize that Lockwood was involved in the creation of the original Jurassic Park, though he isn't ever mentioned in the original 1993 movie.
To make matters more confusing, "Fallen Kingdom" explains Lockwood's absence as being due to the fact that he wanted to clone his deceased daughter, Charlotte (Elva Trill), but that doesn't seem to be possible. In "Dominion," we learn that Maisie (Isabella Sermon) isn't a clone of Charlotte, but rather her genetically created daughter, meaning the entire story (and likely the conflict between him and Hammond) was fabricated.
Furthermore, though Hammond gave Simon Masrani his blessing to buy InGen, as the company's co-founder (and likely among its primary investors), Lockwood would've needed to give his own blessing too. When you think about Hammond and Lockwood's professional relationship behind the scenes and InGen's ultimate buy-out, Masrani's ownership of the company doesn't make a lick of sense considering Lockwood's own fortune. Maybe the death of his daughter impacted him so deeply that he no longer cared about the genetic engineering company, but his actions in "Fallen Kingdom" seem to imply otherwise.
