**Eli Mills** is a major antagonist in the iconic *Jurassic Park* franchise, serving as the main antagonist of the 2018 science-fiction action film *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom*, the unseen overarching antagonist of Season 3 of the Netflix spin-off *Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous* and a posthumous overarching antagonist in its 2022 sequel *Jurassic World: Dominion*.

He was the assistant and finance manager of Benjamin Lockwood, one of the co-founders of the original Jurassic Park (alongside John Hammond) and the arch-nemesis of Maisie Lockwood. He also seeks to make a profit off of selling the dinosaurs trapped on the island of Isla Nublar by any means necessary, which includes killing those who either outlived their usefulness or stand in his way.

He was portrayed by Rafe Spall in his first villainous role.

## What Makes Him Pure Evil?

* He created dangerous hybrid dinosaurs with the assistance of Dr. Henry Wu, intending to use them as weapons for the black market bidders to buy for their own immoral schemes, such as using them as weapons in warfare, which could have disastrous consequences with numerous people ending up dead; something Mills was completely aware of, with at least one of the hybrids being made specifically to kill.
	+ He had Wu create a hybrid dinosaur known as the *Scorpios rex*, and while Mills rejected it when it was shown to be hostile, it was only out of pragmatism in order to not risk business loss.
	+ The creation of the *Scorpios rex* is what indirectly led to Wu's obsession with hybrids and, eventually, the creation of the *Indominus rex*, leading to the downfall of Jurassic World.
* He sent several mercenaries of his, led by Hawkes, to Isla Nublar to find the *Indominus rex*'s corpse and retrieve a bond sample from her remains. Several mercenaries die during the mission (which Mills doesn't so much as mention) and in the long run, this leads to Hawkes and his fellow mercenaries facing the Nublar Six (whom they repeatedly almost kill), being recruited by Daniel Kon for Mantah Corp's shady businesses and culminates with all of the mercenaries, Hawkes included, getting killed. While Mills can't be truly blamed for this as he couldn't have known this would happened and it's implied working for Mr. Kon is something Hawkes has done independently, it still goes back to him.
	+ He is willing to kill his mercenaries if they fail to carry out his orders, if Wu's dialogue with the mercenaries is of any indication (“unless you want Mills to have your head, help me look!”).
* He created the *Indoraptor*, a hybrid designed with “every bone and muscle designed for hunting and killing” under command as a weapon of war, yet let his mercenaries abuse and mistreat him throughout his lifespan locked up in a cell, to the point the *Indoraptor* got a nervous twitch on his claw and turned into a homicidal and unhinged killing machine.
* He hired Ken Wheatley and his men to go to Isla Nublar to collect its dinosaurs so he can sell them on a black market auction, and asked him to leave Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, Zia Rodriguez and Franklin Webb on Isla Nublar to their deaths.
* Upon discovering Maisie Lockwood after she comes across the *Indoraptor* while exploring Lockwood Manor's basement and believing she was spying on him, he locked her up in her room to prevent her from intervening and foiling his plans.
* He smothered Sir Benjamin Lockwood, his own elderly employer, with a pillow to death just for discovering his plans even though Lockwood didn't really pose a threat to them.
* While he did spare Iris, the caretaker, after she discovered Lockwood’s corpse, it was out of pragmatism to maintain his non-threatening appearance.
* He had several dinosaurs, including Rexy, tased and abused by his men.
* He imprisoned Owen and Claire inside Lockwood Manor to prevent them from interfering (in the novelization, it’s implied he intends to let them starve to death).
* He sold at least 5 different dinosaurs to arms dealers and terrorists so they can use them for whatever sinister purposes they wanted, even trying to sell the *Indoraptor* to a sinister Russian arms dealer even though Wu warned him that the *Indoraptor* was an unstable prototype, dismissing his concerns by saying that they could make more. Said Russian arms dealer was also planning to buy carnivores so he could pit them against each other in a $5,000 pay-per-view cage match.
* When Wu points out that the people will create more *Indoraptor's* and use them as weapons, Mills chooses to ignore him. In the novelization, Mills even acknowledges that Wu is right, but decides he cares more about the money.
* He sacrificed one of the auctioneers by using him as a human shield to distract a *Stygimoloch*.
* He threatened to kill Owen and Claire with two of his mercenaries so he can get Maisie back, presumably with the intent to experiment with her due to Maisie being a clone Lockwood biogenetically engineered in the image of his late daughter Charlotte.
* He is indirectly responsible for the *Indoraptor’s* rampage throughout Lockwood Manor, which resulted in the deaths of Wheatley, Gunnar Eversol, three wealthy auctioneers and the two mercenaries that Mills had cowardly left to be devoured by the *Indoraptor* with no remorse, thus would've led to the hybrid killing Owen, Claire and Maisie hadn't it been for Blue, who fights and eventually slays the *Indoraptor*. This basically means that it was entirely Mills' fault as he was indirectly responsible for the creature's rampage which he feels no remorse for, making this as his actions and not the *Indoraptor’s* since his abuse of the creature which drove it insane and his attempt to sell it instead of returning it to the basement had led to it escaping.
* He took the bone sample of the *Indominus rex* so that he can make more hybrid dinosaurs to sell, uncaring that the dinosaurs were escaping into the wild and killing his mercenaries, thus he would have fled with the sample if not for Rexy's intervention, leading to Mills' death at the jaws of the *Tyrannosaurus*. This also led to the sample getting trampled and smashed by Rexy as she walks away after killing Mills, ending the creation of future hybrid dinosaurs and leaving Mills' plan in vain.
* Although his death was horrific as he was devoured and torn apart by Rexy, it wasn’t played for sympathy and he indeed deserved it for his heinous actions.
* Even after his death, he is indirectly responsible for the de-extinct dinosaurs roaming freely all over the Earth, causing several ecological disasters and killing several people, which allowed Lewis Dodgson and BioSyn to endanger the world with their mutant locusts, which were able to eat all crops, all just to sell food products at the expense of possibly threatening all of the planet's population to extinction if they couldn't afford them.
* While Lewis Dodgson did far worse, he had massively more resources than Mills, as Dodgson was a CEO who had control over an entire organization whereas Mills was just a simple businessman who had henchmen. Thus, they cannot be compared to each other.
