Jurassic World: Chaos Theoryreveals the identity of the dinosaur Broker, and it gives the show a deeper connection to the rest of the franchise. Focusing on most of the Nublar Six,Chaos Theoryhas pushed the main characters fromJurassic World: Camp Cretaceousinto a dangerous world. Especially after the apparent death of Brooklynn at the hands of a mysterious conspiracy, the main characters fromJurassic World: Chaos Theoryhave been hot on the trail of the Broker.
However, Brooklynn’s mission inChaos Theoryseason 2ends up exposing more about the conspiracy. The real power player behind the events of season 2 has actually appeared in a previous entry of the series, and has the potential to become the driving villain for the franchise going forward. Here is howChaos Theoryseason 2 reveals the truth behind the Broker and how she factors into the overarching lore of theJurassic Parktimeline.
The Broker Is Soyona Santos, The Dinosaur Smuggler From Jurassic World Dominion
Soyona ConnectsChaos TheoryDirectly ToDominion
The Broker inJurassic World: Chaos Theoryseason 2 turns out to be Soyona Santos, the mysterious power player who factored into the plot ofJurassic World: Dominion. Played by Dichen Lachman in both the show and film, Santos is a powerful figure within the dinosaur black market. Santos was one of the more dangerous human characters inDominion, working to help smuggle dinosaurs to the highest bidder.

This put her into direct conflict with the heroes of that film, who — like the Nublar Six — believe dinosaurs fit into the ecosystem. Santos is a cold and calculating figure in both the film and show, with a knowledge and expertise that allows her to effectively control dinosaurs. This is especially evident inChaos Theory, where her tactics and conditioning are so effective that can help overcome other training that scientists imparted on dinosaurs.Santos' role inChaos Theoryfurther cements her as a major factor in theJurassic Worldfranchise.
Soyona Santos' Dinosaur Operation Is Bigger In Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Cloning vs Smuggling)
Santos' Dinosaur Plan Went From Clones To Smuggling
One of the big reveals ofChaos Theoryseason 2 is that a group of people, including the Soyona Santos, are working to genetically modify and clone their own kinds of dinosaurs. As Brooklynn discovers “Lab Partners Part 2,” Santos sees greater potential in creating her own line of dinosaurs. Instead of hunting, capturing, and transporting dinosaurs,this would allow Santos to effectively turn dinosaurs into a commodity. In this sense, Santos shares a common motivation found in many flawed characters across the course of the franchise — the belief that they can control an inherently wild nature.
Unlike previous villains in the Jurassic franchise, however, Santos seems to be aware of the dangers associated with this and does everything she can to remain ahead of potential problems. This means that even clever attempts to bring her down fall apart. Given her presence inJurassic World: Dominionand her apparent return to the world of smuggling, it’s clear she’ll survive the events ofChaos Theory.
Soyona Santos' Partnership With Biosyn Explained
Santos Has Connections To One OfJurassic World’s Oldest Villains
A common element between Santos' appearance in bothJurassic World: DominionandJurassic World: Chaos Theorycomes down to her apparent partnership with Biosyn. A leading genetics company that was teased as a rival of Hammond’s company inJurassic Park, Biosyn has been an underlying threat in the franchise since the very beginning of the series.Jurassic World: Dominionhinted at a connection between her and the company, something that is reiterated inJurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Biosyn is confirmed inChaos Theoryseason 2 to be working with Santos, with the Broker escaping the events of the season with no consequences. Escaping from the rest of the Nublar Six alongside Brooklynn, Santos confirms to the young woman that she will continue to be partnered with the company. Santos working alongside Biosyn could be the key to expanding her smuggling efforts in future seasons (and give Brooklynn a chance to target a major franchise villain), all while setting the stage for their partnership to continue into the events ofJurassic World: Dominion.

Jurassic World: Chaos TheoryIncluding Santos Connects The Show Directly To The Films
TheJurassic Worldfranchise hasn’t had an entry since 2022’sJurassic World: Dominion, althoughthe upcomingJurassic World Rebirthis poised to bring audiences back into a dinosaur infested world. AlthoughChaos Theorytechnically happens before the events ofDominion,the return of Santos to the franchise highlights her importance to the series going forward. Santos' survival and partnership with Biosyn, which was hinted at in Dominion, seems to be the primary thread setting up Jurassic World Chaos Theory season 3.

While the Nublar Six might not interact directly with the film characters or plot, their existence on the sidelines of the film’s plot underscores the interconnected nature that had previously been somewhat downplayed.This makesChaos Theoryand Santos more important to the overarching series lore, with the show expanding Santos' presence. It’s possible her advancements and genetic work could even be repurposed by others to create more clones of the dinosaurs.
Why The Broker Is Letting Brooklynn Live & Working With Her
Santos Develops A Surprising Connection With Brooklynn
In bothChaos TheoryandDominionbefore it, Santos proved to be a ruthless operator who had little restraint when it came to dispatching people who got in her way. However,she has shown an extraordinary amount of patience for Brooklynn. She’s manipulated her and circumstances around her to keep her close, seemingly to use her to find the rest of the Nublar Six. However, Santos seems to gain an apparent appreciation for Brooklynn after she saves her life.
Although she’s proven willing to activate traps to kill Brooklyn if she needs to, it’s clear in the final moments ofChaos Theoryseason 2 thatSantos would prefer to keep Brooklynn alive. Although there could be additional motivations unseen by the audience, part of this seems to genuinely stem from an appreciation forBrooklynn’s potential inChaos Theory’s future. Santos could see a possible ally (or failing that, a pawn) in the young woman, and could continue to shape her into a genuine threat.
The Broker Is The New Jurassic World Villain
Santos Is One Of The Franchise’s Best Villains
Due to the casually lethal nature of the dinosaurs present in theJurassic Worldfranchise, overarching human villains are hard to find. Although some do exist, they don’t tend to last long in the series.Santos seems to be the exception to the rule. As a broker with connections to both the black market and the corporations that operate in the light of day, Santos can fit into multiple antagonistic roles within the franchise going forward.

The Broker’s Role In Chaos Theory Season 3
The Series Is Setting Her Up As The Big Franchise Bad
As the timeline approaches the events inJurassic World: Dominion,Santos’s alliance with BioSyn will play a much bigger roleinChaos Theoryseason 3. Clearly, the Nublar Six is setting out to find Brooklyn and hopefully learn she didn’t really betray them. However, since Santos is the bad guy inDominion, she will survive whatever season 3 throws her way, although she will have to pivot to her new role. Ending the second season with the dinosaur eggs in her possession sets up her role as a major player.
The third season ofChaos Theorypicks up immediately after the second season finale and runs parallel to the events in the Amber Clave Black Market in Malta duringJurassic World Dominion.While the Broker, Santos, and BioSyn play key roles in the season, the most important part of the third season is the Nublar Six and their dealings with Brooklyn. As the second season showed, this is all the Broker’s doing. It also ties everything into the first movies, which is the most exciting part of the new season.
