Lockwood is no more than a tenant to Heathcliff renting Thrushcross Grange for the summer time. In the first chapter of Wuthering Heights Lockwood talks about going and making the owner, Heathcliff, his acquaintance since he will be staying there.
‘Mr. Lockwood, your new tenant, sir. I do myself the honour of calling as soon as possible after my arrival, to express the hope that I have not inconvenienced you by my perseverance in soliciting the occupation of Thrushcross Grange: I heard yesterday you had had some thoughts—’ Chapter 1
The only reason Lockwood begins to learn things about Heathcliff is because he complained to Nelly and Nelly tells him about how Heathcliff became what he is today.
