Lockwood Manor Staff
Domestic servants in a fortress built for extinction.
The Lockwood Manor Staff comprised the private household and security personnel serving William Lockwood at his secluded estate in Northern California. Unlike the corporate mercenaries of InGen or government agents hunting dinosaurs, this group operated within a domestic sphere forcibly transformed into a sanctuary for genetically engineered creatures. Their primary function was to maintain order in a home where residents included not only humans but also the world's first hybrid dinosaur, the Indoraptor.

Lore & Background
When security was compromised by Eli Mills' mercenaries, the staff found themselves on the front lines of a battle they never signed up for. Their loyalty shifted from employment to survival as chaos engulfed the estate, with some aiding Owen Grady and Claire Dearing against the raiders. The manor became a battleground where the line between family and monster blurred, culminating in a confrontation that left the estate in ruins and many staff members lost to the night's violence.
In Their Own Story
The rain hammered against the stained glass of the grand foyer, drowning out the distant roar from the upper floor. A veteran housekeeper, accustomed to polishing silverware rather than facing beasts, gripped a heavy fireplace poker with trembling hands. She wasn't trained for war; she was trained to serve tea and answer phones. Yet, as mercenaries stormed the hallway shouting orders that sounded like commands of conquest, she stepped in front of the locked study door where the creature slept. Behind her, the house shook again—not from thunder, but from the heavy tread of a dinosaur defying nature itself. In that moment, her job description changed forever.
Reader's Guide
The faction dissolved following the catastrophic events of 2018. With the manor destroyed and dinosaurs escaped, remaining personnel were scattered or vanished into the aftermath. Their collective story serves as a poignant reminder that the Jurassic Park saga is defined not just by scientists and soldiers, but by the everyday workers who kept the machinery running until it broke.
