**Eli Mills** is one of the secondary antagonists (alongside Commander Vic Hoskins) of the Jurassic Park franchise. He is the main antagonist of the 2018 blockbuster movie *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom*. He was a co-conspirator and equal associate for Commander Vic Hoskins and is one of the two creators of the *Indoraptor*, alongside Henry Wu. After understanding that his boss had died, he secretly attempts to continue Hoskins's legacy and use dinosaurs for warfare.

It was later revealed that he and Hoskins both worked for Lewis Dodgson, who bribed many InGen workers to create superweapons for him and later cover up their crimes by eliminating dinosaurs and terminating Owen, Claire and Masie.

## History

### Background

Eli Mills was one of Maisie Lockwood's guardians, and was working for Benjamin Lockwood, who intended to further Masrani's work. However, Eli was secretly working under Hoskins's tasks (thus secretly being bribed by no other than the Byosin leader Dodgson) to sell dinosaurs as weapons, and he had been tasked to create the *Indoraptor* (which, in Hoskins's eyes, was a smaller-sized *Indominus*). Eli sent his mercenaries, lead by Ken Wheatley, to capture the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar and transport them to an InGen base, where the InGen associate Gunnar Eversol would sell the dinosaurs as weapons in a military auction.

### *Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom*

As Mills is about to sell the *Indoraptor* and the latter in a military auction, Henry Wu advised him to at least give the dinosaurs a mother. However, Eli declines him, as he is too obsessed with completing his tasks and selling the dinosaurs.

However, Maisie discovers Hoskins's final schemes, and went to tell Lockwood about it. At first, Lockwood doesn't believe it; however, Eli comes into the room, plotting to murder Lockwood himself. Lockwood orders Eli to pick up the phone, but instead, he picks up the pillow beneath the phone, and smothers Benjamin Lockwood to death with it. In that moment, seemingly nobody could stop him from accomplishing his tasks. Eli later meets Iris, who demands him to give her children back. It is revealed at this point that Maisie had a brother who was murdered due to disobedience. Mills disagrees to give Maisie back to her, and claims guardianship on Maisie as part of a plan to turn her into a weapon as well. Later, Henry Wu advises him not to sell the *Indoraptor*. However, Eli disagrees, as he is too obsessed with his tasks, and is trying hard to sell the hybrid in the highest bidder to military companies.

However, Owen helps the *Indoraptor* escape, and Eli Mills watches as the latter caused rampage in the base. As the *Indoraptor* pretended to go back to his cage, Ken tried to kill him. However, the dinosaur tricked Ken into thinking that he is dead, and as Ken came to take out one of his teeth in order to check if he's dead or alive, the *Indoraptor* bit Wheatley's arm off, and killed Ken. Gunnar tried to escape, but the *Indoraptor* manages to kill him as well.

Eli eventually finds Owen, Claire, and Maisie. He orders Maisie to come to him, but Maisie would rather stay with Owen and Claire. Eli reveals that Maisie was not his granddaughter, but a clone of Lockwood's daughter, and that he took responsibility on her as part of a plan to turn her into a weapon as well and sell her. However, the *Indoraptor* burst into the scene, and a scared Eli cowardly escapes the building before being eaten. As he goes to his car and prepares to abandon the base, Maisie lets the dinosaurs loose, and they start running on top of his mercenaries. Eli pathetically hides under a car, and when he thinks it is over, he attempts to look around, but he is eaten alive by Rexy/Roberta a second after that.

## Trivia

* He was an enforcer for Hoskins, but since Hoskins is now dead, he took charge of some of the operation.
* After Commander Vic Hoskins, he could be considered as the secondary antagonist or even a major antagonist of the franchise, in competition with the *Indoraptor* or Henry Wu.
* Despite being the film's central antagonist and the main antagonist during most of the storyline, he is far more scheming than the *Indoraptor*, although he is not even close to being as dangerous, aggressive, and sadistic. Not to mention his by far, the most pathetic villain in the franchise.
