Dominc Lockhart

Dominic H. Lockhart is a C.E.L.L. Lieutenant Commander and the main human antagonist in Crysis 2.



Background
Lockhart joined Hargreave-Rasch and C.E.L.L.'s Urban Pacification Division in 2015. Prior to this, he was a USMC marine.

Lockhart was a brutal and violent C.E.L.L. commander who served the interests of the CryNet Systems board of directors and major shareholders. As leader of C.E.L.L forces of New York City, Lockhart was a proponent of conventional warfare and intrinsically disliked the 'post-human super-soldier' concept.

Lockhart was a major opponent of the development of CryNet system'sNanosuit 2.0 - known as the N2 Program, and suggested his primary concern was the health risks posed to Nanosuit drivers. However, it is suspected that his strong stance against the N2 Program was in response to having lost his nephew, who was a member of the Nanosuit 1.0 project, through unknown circumstances involving the Nanosuit. He is personally calling it Hargreave's "Bastardized Cyborg dream".

Lockhart also attended meetings with the Senate and attempted to persuade them and CryNet to stop funding for the Nanosuit 2.0 project. However, CryNet stated that they will still continue the project while following several protocols and having Lockhart personally supervising the project.

Lockhart was given orders from CryNet founder Jacob Hargreave to apprehend Prophet and recover the Nanosuit 2.0; however, Lockhart became incensed in killing Prophet as his personal grudge, after many C.E.L.L operatives were killed trying to capture Prophet and for besting his men with the Nanosuit, and eventually putting him at odds with Hargreave and Tara Strickland.

Crysis 2
Lockhart, completely unaware of Prophet's death, pursued Prophet's successor Alcatraz, who obtains the Nanosuit 2.0, and mistakes him for Prophet. He and Strickland ambush Alcatraz and Nathan Gould at the CryNet building on Wall Street and successfully capture them. However, this endeavor was short lived as Alcatraz escapes from Lockhart's custody when the Ceph attack.

As the plot unfolds, Lockhart begins to ignore instructions from Hargreave. Supported by his loyal group of C.E.L.L. soldiers, Lockhart became consumed with eliminating Alcatraz, not realizing that his attempts on Alcatraz's life would jeopardize the struggle against the Ceph. Lockhart's forces attacked and failed to kill Alcatraz at the Hargreave-Rasch building. There Lockhart came into direct conflict with Hargreave, who berated the Commander for his vendetta on Alcatraz. Lockhart retorts that he has been given direct orders to kill Alcatraz by the CryNet Board of Directors and simultaneously placed Hargreave under house arrest.

Alcatraz finally came face to face with Lockhart at the Prism, where Lockhart was headquartered, prepared to eliminate Alcatraz. Under Hargreave's orders, Alcatraz kills the C.E.L.L. commander by throwing him face-first out a CryNet nano-shielded window and into the pavement, effectively ending his life.
