Biography[]
Background[]
He was a District Attorney who worked in stopping the cartels from spreading drugs to the US. However, after 9/11, Lockwood and former Army Ranger turned DEA Agent James McGrath began secretly working with the cartels in smuggling drugs into Miami in the hopes they could secure the border and prevent further terrorist attacks, with this conspiracy eventually spreading across Miami law enforcement. As such, he also had a hand in Johnny Tapia's smuggling of ecstacy into Miami in 2003. Over the years, he's helped move product into South Florida, as well as having key witnesses killed, informants go missing, and destroying evidence.
Present[]
He started dating MPD Captain Rita Secada, who is Mike's ex-girlfriend, and both attended Mike's wedding with his physical therapist Christine. Meanwhile at the wedding party, Marcus suffered a heart attack due to his unhealthy eating disorder. Two weeks later it was announced that Captain Howard was involved with the cartels, which the FBI is investigating about. Determined to prove Howard's innocence, Mike and Marcus decided to investigate Howard's old case involving the conspiracy. Then he appeared when Mike requested that they should transport Armando Aretas, who is Mike’s illegitimate son and the one who knows about the ones involved with the Cartels, which Lockwood agreed. In secret, Lockwood was conspiring with McGrath and his team and revealed the shipment of Armando, which caused the helicopter crash and framing Mike, Marcus and Armando as fugitives with Law Enforcement and criminals hunting them down.
When Armando recognized McGrath and identified him as the real culprit behind Howard's murder, Mike called Rita to inform of the situation, which Lockwood eavesdropped upon her. Lockwood then tipped off McGrath and the latter sent mercenaries to capture Mike and Marcus' families, which the latter family was saved by Reggie. Christine and to an extent Callie, Howard's granddaughter were captured by McGrath. Mike then realized that Lockwood is the mole and warned Rita about it. Lockwood then revealed his true colors and almost killed Rita before being saved by Kelly. Lockwood then revealed to Rita the reason for his actions and collaboration with McGrath and the Cartels, all the while AMMO was recording his voice to call McGrath.
Using Lockwood as bait, the team engages in a fierce gunfight with McGrath's men at a former alligator-themed amusement park. Lockwood tried to escape by threatening the pilot via gunpoint, which Rita shut down the plane by a rocket launcher. Both Lockwood and the pilot survived. Dorn went to check on Lockwood, only for him to shoot at the former in the elbow. Rita then kicked Lockwood to a alligator pit, where he was devoured by Duke, the albino alligator.
Trivia[]
- Lockwood is the first villain of the franchise to have any political power (not including James McGrath or Eddie Dominguez who were in law enforcement).
- It’s unknown if Lockwood, like McGrath, allied himself with Isabel Aretas at any point, but it is possible due to the assassination of Captain Conrad Howard.
