Here are the human chracters who appeared in the latest Jurassic World film.
Owen Grady, portrayed by Chris Pratt
Owen Grady is the main character and an on-site staff member at Jurassic World. He conducts behavioral research on the park's resident Velociraptors. It is acknowledged that Claire Dearing, a operations manager at Jurassic World, and Owen had a failed relationship in the past. Owen doesn't believe in genetic modification of dinosaurs to up the 'wow' factor saying "They're dinosaurs, wow enough."
Claire Dearing, portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard
Claire Dearing is the park operations manager at Jurassic World, and the aunt of Zach and Gray Mitchell. The film acknowledges that Claire and Owen Grady had a failed relationship in the past.
Vic Hoskins, portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio
Victor "Vic" Hoskins is the main human antagonist, who is the head of security operations for InGen. In the film, Vic wanted to use the tamed Velociraptors as weapons, much to the disapproval of Owen Grady, who is able to communicate with them. Owen argues that the raptors are not tamed enough to be weapons, since they are still wild and he's the only one they'll listen to, and later proves his point when a he stops a raptor from nearly attacking an employee who accidentally fell into their paddock. Later in the film, the park's latest attraction, the Indominus rex, escapes its paddock. Simon Masrani, the owner of the park, is then killed in a helicopter crash caused by Pteranodons. Vic then takes charge and instructs that the raptors be used to kill the Indominus, with Owen reluctantly agreeing. However, after the plan fails and the Indominus communicates with the raptors to turn on the others, Vic and the team decide to evacuate. However, before they can do so, Vic is killed by one of the raptors before the others have time to escape.
Simon Masrani, portrayed by Irrfan Khan
Simon Masrani is the CEO of the Masrani Global Corporation, and the owner of Jurassic World. His father, Sanjay Masrani, started the company as a telecommunications business before eventually passing leadership to his son. The business was then expanded into oil and bought InGen after the death of John Hammond in 1997. In the lead-up to the fourth film, his company promoted Dr. Henry Wu into the Masrani Global Corporation's ranks. The lead-up also mentioned how Simon's company set up a lab in Siberia to harvest Cenozoic DNA from old glaciers as part of a plan to add the cloned animals of that time to Jurassic World. In 2002, Masrani set out to construct the Jurassic World theme park, which opened on Isla Nublar in 2005. After the events of Jurassic Park Masrani seeks to follow Hammond's initial vision while fixing and improving upon all that made Jurassic Park a disaster. Masrani made safety the number one priority of Jurassic World. Masrani is also a trained pilot. Masrani piloted a helicopter that chased after the Indominus rex during the events of Jurassic World, eventually crashing into the Aviary and killing two others and himself, when Pteranodons and Dimorphodons attacked the helicopter.
Dr Henry Wu, portrayed by BD Wong
Dr Henry Wu is the chief geneticist in Jurassic Park, and head of the team that created the dinosaurs. He is a former child prodigy, gaining early attention from his undergraduate thesis at MIT, and was personally recruited by John Hammond after finishing his doctorate. He proposes genetically altering the dinosaurs to make them more manageable, citing that many of their early assumptions about the behavior and biology of the animals had been wrong, but could not get Hammond's approval. When he is later presented with the fact that the dinosaurs have been breeding, essentially proving that he had failed to engineer them properly, he mistook it as a "tremendous validation of his work".
In the years following the failure of Jurassic Park, Dr Wu continued his work on DNA and even created a new plant called the Wu flower through the DNA of different plants. Masrani Global Corpration's CEO Simon Masrani took over InGen and promoted Dr. Wu. In November 2014, the new InGen facility named "Martel" opened in Siberia. The goal of Martel was to extract Pleistocene datedorganic materials from glacial ice. Wu showed excitement for the project believing it will expand InGen's genome library, but he withheld from speculating about using any found materials to create Cenozoic animals for Jurassic World at the moment. Later on, Wu explains to Simon Masrani how the Indominus Rex was made. When Vic Hoskins takes command of the park, Wu is evacuated to the Costa Rican mainland, along with the rest of the InGen team.
Zachary Mitchell (Nick Robinson) and Gray Mitchell (portrayed by Ty Simpkins)

Lowery Cruthers, portrayed by Jake Johnson
Lowery Cruthers is the park's tech-savvy operations overseer. When the Indominus Rex escapes, he strongly advises against Vic's idea to capture it. When Simon is killed, and Vic takes command of the park, he remains working in the control room, but warns Claire of Vic's plan. After the plan fails, Lowery remains in the control room, while the others are evacuated. Lowery is later forced by Claire to release the Tyrannosaurus Rex from it's enclosure, so it can try and defeat the Indominus Rex. After the Indominus Rex is killed, he is evacuated to the Costa Rican mainland, along with other survivors.
Katashi Hamada, portrayed by Brian Tee
Katashi Hamada is a Jurassic World security guard and commander for the park's ACU (short for Asset Containment Unit). Hamada and his team were called to stop Jurassic World's remaining Indominus rex who had escaped her paddock, along with another team led by Austin. During their pursuit, Hamada discovered the Indominus rex clawed out her tracking implant. As he analyzed the implant, blood began to drip on him. As he looked up, he saw blood dripping of the trees and hearing around behind him. When he turned around, he saw the Indominus rex, which was hiding in the bushes and ordered his men to shoot it. The I. rex grabbed Hamada while the latter screamed and feared for his life. His men managed to temporarily stun the animal, which led to loose it's grip on Hamada. He tried to crawl away, but the I. rex crushed him under her foot, killing him instantly. He had sacrificed himself to save his men.

The Pteranodon again picks her up, but the Mosasaurus appears and eats the Pteranodon and Zara.
