'''Lockwood''' was the codename of an otherwise unnamed [[UNIT]] investigator, Operative 8954B, who possessed telepathic powers. He was the head of a Containment Team sent to a UNIT facility after [[Sally Arnold|Dr. Sally Arnold]] had exposed a dormant Nestene pod to deep-space transmissions, re-establishing contact with the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. With the building placed under quarantine and searched by UNIT operatives including [[Daniel Matthews (Auton)|Daniel Matthews]] and [[Ramsay|Sergeant Ramsay]], Arnold helped the team find a hidden room containing more Nestene pods and also [[Third Doctor|Doctor John Smith's]] UHF transmitter from a previous encounter ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]''). However, though the transmitter was useful in destroying the original pod, unsealing the doors allowed the reactivation of a second pod and also of the [[Auton]]s still held in the warehouse. The Autons captured Lockwood briefly and later revealed they had implanted a 'seed' in his mind (metaphorically, presumably) with which they could maintain a psychic connection. The second Nestene pod was able to escape through an air vent and evade capture for a further two years ([[BBV]]: ''[[Auton (video)|Auton]]'').
'''Lockwood''' was the codename of an otherwise unnamed [[UNIT]] investigator, Operative 8954B, who possessed telepathic powers. He was the head of a Containment Team sent to the highly classified UNIT storage and research establishment known as [[the Warehouse]] after [[Sally Arnold|Dr. Sally Arnold]] had exposed a dormant Nestene pod to deep-space transmissions, re-establishing contact with the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. With the building placed under quarantine and searched by UNIT operatives including [[Daniel Matthews (Auton)|Daniel Matthews]] and [[Ramsay|Sergeant Ramsay]], Arnold helped the team find a hidden room containing more Nestene pods and also [[Third Doctor|Doctor John Smith's]] UHF transmitter from a previous encounter ([[DW]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'').

Lockwood, Matthews and Arnold continued to search for the missing alien, with Matthews eventually abandoning the search to go on a trip to Africa to dig up alien artefacts, before it was eventually tracked down to Sentinel Island, where it had re-energised and taken over the island community in an attempt to revive ancient Nestene creatures buried beneath the Earth's surface. Lockwood teamed once again with Ramsay and also with a UNIT psychic, [[Natasha Alexander (Auton Trilogy)|Natasha Alexander]]. They halted the Auton plot but not before one of the ancient Nestene creatures was brought to life. The creature suddenly vanished, with Lockwood apparently having absorbed its energy ([[BBV]]: ''[[Auton 2: Sentinel]]''). In the aftermath of the confrontation, Arnold was taken to Millhampton by [[Ross Palmer]] to try to locate Lockwood and Alexander. There, Arnold learned that UNIT had been secretly investigating Lockwood's connection to the Nestenes. Lockwood was by now a captive of the Autons and was being used as a conduit to communicate with the Nestene Consciousness. Using a weapon provided by Ramsay, Lockwood ended his life, his death preventing the Auton take-over ([[BBV]]: ''[[Auton 3: Awakening]]'').
