History[]
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory[]
Season 1[]
The Handler was sent by The Broker to kill the Nublar Six. She hired Dudley Cabrera in an attempt to kill Brooklynn first. Later, she sent her Atrociraptor against Darius and the rest of the Nublar Six. After Darius, Ben, Sammy, and Bumpy thwarted the assassination attempt at Sammy’s ranch, she recalled the raptors into a modified water truck and drove them off to where the three were heading.
She later made herself known when she sent her raptors after Darius and Kenji, but they killed Daniel Kon instead, who sacrificed himself to save his son and redeemed himself for his past evil actions. When Mateo rescued Darius and Kenji, she recalled the raptors, knowing they wouldn’t be able to catch up to them. She later appeared during the final battle and sent her Atrociraptors to kill Cabrera before he betrayed them and because he had become useless to her employer before sending them after the Nublar Six again. However, they were thwarted again by Mateo, who drove a truck into the warehouse and knocked her and the Atrociraptors unconscious, freeing some of the dinosaurs and resulting in her henchman Jensen getting killed.
The raptors would continue hunting the Nublar Six and Mateo upon waking up. After the battle was lost, she came to and attempted to send her Atrociraptors after the Nublar Six again. However, after realizing that they were too injured from their previous battle against Big Eatie and an Allosaurus to fight any further, she simply looked at the Nublar Six furiously before fleeing with her Atrociraptors, caressing Ghost gently, then escaping to presumably rejoin the Broker.

Personality[]
The Handler presents a chilling demeanor, characterized by her eerie silence, sparse whispering, and robotic-like behavior, including a notable lack of blinking. Her willingness to deploy her raptors as lethal weapons without hesitation showcases her ruthless and heartless nature. However, a contrasting facet of her personality emerges in her interactions with the Atrociraptors, demonstrating a deep affection and bond. She handles them with gentle care, frequently caressing them, evoking a maternal instinct, and prioritizes their well-being, even retreating to prevent their harm. Her anger and glare towards the campers suggest a personal investment in her raptors' safety, hinting at a complex and multifaceted personality that blurs the lines between cold calculation and maternal devotion.

Trivia[]
- Concept art (shown above) indicates that the handler was going to be either an elderly woman, a black woman, or even a man before sticking with the final design.
- She is one of the only woman characters in the canon franchise to have her own leitmotif, that being a resonating synthetized piece akin to Marco Beltrami.
- In some ways, the Handler can be considered a foil to Kash D. Langford from Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, although both are significant villains in their respective series.
- While both demonstrated a remorseless nature and did not hesitate to utilize dinosaurs as living weapons, Kash was short-tempered and prone to violent outburst, in stark contrast to the Atrociraptor Handler, who demonstrated a chilling but silent nature, rarely making any noise beyond the whistles that she used to control her raptors.
- Although both villains apparently shared a callous willingness to use dinosaurs as a source of profit, Kash never demonstrated the same affinity for certain individual dinosaurs that the Handler showed with in her relationship with Ghost, Panthera and Tiger. The gentle manner that the Handler showed towards the Atrociraptors under her care and her usage of a whistle to control them was a strong divergence from Kash, who sought to control dinosaurs with technology while expressing psychopathic desire to see uncompliant dinosaurs come to harm.
- Ironically enough, it was Kash's reliance on his technology that led to his demise while attempting to kill Daniel Kon without success, unlike the Handler, who successfully murdered Kon with the raptors that she controlled through more naturally created signals.
