History[]

Background[]

Not much is known about Gunnar Eversoll's origins other than his status as an auctioneer, presumably fine with working with criminal elements from around the globe. At some point prior to Fallen Kingdom, Eversoll was contacted by Eli Mills in order to set up selling the last remaining dinosaurs on Isla Nublar to willing buyers at Lockwood Manor. Though he seemingly was unimpressed by the matter.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom[]

Gunnar Eversoll was the host of an auction in Lockwood Manor to sell the dinosaurs, except Blue. He is an accomplished auctioneer who is unconcerned with morals or ethics regarding what he sells, merely caring about the profits. Indeed, his arrogance nearly makes him call the whole thing off when Eli Mills admits that the dinosaurs he's supposed to be selling have yet to arrive, but he is convinced to stay when Mills shows him a promotional video of the new hybrid. He is shown selling off an Ankylosaurus, a juvenile Allosaurus, a Baryonyx, a Stegosaurus, and the Indoraptor to numerous buyers.

Before the Indoraptor could be auctioned off, an escaped Stygimoloch and Owen Grady sabotaged the auction, causing panic as Eversoll hid and the event was ruined. After witnessing mercenary Ken Wheatley's horrible death by the Indoraptor, Eversoll made a break for the elevator while it was distracted. Three terrified auction attendees had already taken refuge in the elevator, one of whom motioned frantically for him to keep quiet. Eversoll shoved one of them away from the buttons so he could get it working, but this knocked the terrified woman out in front of the cage and caused her to scream in terror at the hybrid, garnering its attention. Eversoll barely managed to remember and enter the correct code for the lift as the Indoraptor got out of its cage and charged them, getting there just as the doors shut in the nick of time. Satisfied that they were safe, Eversoll turned to the three attendees and laughed nervously at the narrow escape. However, they weren't safe for long; the Indoraptor, whether by purpose or accident, broke the door mechanism with its tail, causing the doors to open again. Eversoll realized this in time for the Indoraptor to let loose a terrible bellow at him, blowing his hair back, before it proceeded to maul a screaming Eversoll and the three attendees to death.
