Lara's well-educated butler. He's been offering his services to the Croft family since a long time before Lara was born. He's always polite to Lara and he's a good friend of hers. He is the roomer of the Croft estate. However, in the training levels of tomb raider 1,2 and 3, he is just a short wrinkled guy that follows you with a tray of tea. He moves and makes weird sounds like sighs, making you wonder why he hasn't retired yet. In Tomb Raider 5 though, we realize that he's aware of many Lara’s secrets - he's the one to open her trophy room. He once lived with his wife(I don't know what happened to her, maybe that's a weak point of the storyline)in Connusie. Lara, when she was a 16-year-old teenager, stayed there with them for a while.
These three thugs were hired by Natla to finish Lara off. The annoying Skateboarding Kid kept shouting "You firin' at me? You firing at me? Huh? Ain't nobody else here, so you must be firin' at me!" and was armed with a pair of Uzis. Shotgun Sam carried a shotgun and the Cowboy's weapons were the Magnums. All three were killed somewhere in 1996.
A scientist seeking for power. He encountered Lara in India, where she had just found the Infada Stone. He told her about the rest of the artifacts made from the same meteorite material and hired her to travel around the world to retrieve them. He seemed to be a friendly guy then, but he "forgot" to tell Lara that this particular meteorite material resulted in genetic mutation when tested on humans. When Lara found out the truth, she got really angry,(Level: Antarctica) but Willard managed to escape from her by knocking her over with his table. Lara run after him and she found him again in the Meteorite Cavern Level. He had mutated into a giant human-spider that threw magic green bolts. Lara managed to defeat him in 1998, by removing the meteorite that gave him power.
He's a good-looking but always dirty Texan guy, whose level of stupidity is extremely high. That is because he was hit in the head by a donkey when he was young(lol). He wears a red T-shirt, faded jeans and cowboy boots. Lara meets him twice in her quest for the Scion(he's hired by Natla) and eventually kills him. Before that, though, he meets him in her quest for the Philosopher's stone, where she gets rid of him by defeating him in a gun battle (1996).
He's a well-educated French guy, who is clever but not very talented in gun battles. Together with Larson, hardly putting up with his stupidity of course, they tried to get the Philosopher's stone. Lara was after this artifact as well. Due to his gullibility, Lara managed to leave him helpless in a deep pit, but he somehow survived the big fall. The second time they met though, in St. Francis' Folly, the consequences of the battle for the second Scion piece were extremely fatal for him.(1996)
She's the head of the Natla Technology company and she's the most popular tomb raider villain to date. May it be for her good looks, attitude or character. I personally think that all things combined have given this result. To get on with the story, she once was one of the rulers of Atlantis and had under possession one of the three pieces of Scion. If she had used its powers wisely, nothing bad would have happened. But, Natla believed that natural selection was at an all time low and abused her powers to create a race of monsters .Her monsters went mad and destroyed the island of Atlantis. Qualopeg and Tihocan, the two other rulers, stripped her of her powers and froze her into what they thought would be an eternal prison-the Ice Cylinder. But Natla never felt sorry for her creations. And when she escaped from the prison-it took several hundreds of years- she hired some people, including Lara, to find the three pieces of Scion. After retrieving all three pieces, she would be able to create mutated species again and become the ruler of the world. After realizing that Lara was not a money-thirsty jackal and that she could cause serious problems to her plans, she tried to get rid of her. And that was the beginning of her final destruction. Lara defeated her in the Great Pyramid in 1997,even though she had transformed into a winged demon with sharp claws and she disappeared from the Earth's surface, never to return.

She's an attractive blond woman about 30 years old. Her hands are always well-manicured and she's dressed in elegant and expensive clothes. She is the head of the Leigh Cosmetics Corporation. She used her assistants as guinea pigs despite having promised them good accommodation e.t.c and they ended up as faceless people, because of a failed experiment that had something to do with an everlasting beauty potion. She had the Eye of Isis under possession and Lara battled her to retrieve it. She had a kind of magic wand (septher) that threw magic green bolts and she tended to giggle like a maniac. Although normal weapons couldn't cause the slightest damage to her, Lara managed to defeat her in 1998.But she was somehow resurrected from the dead and battled Lara again on her guest for the Hand of Randthmore and in spite of the fact that she was very sure that she was going to win that time, she was defeated for a second time with fatal consequences.
Lara's former mentor but also a ruthless rival. He first met Lara after an archaeological lecture of his at her school, where he was impressed by the clever questions of the 16-year-old teenager, that showed a bright interest in archaeology. Although convincing her parents was difficult, they eventually gave in and let her join Von Croy on his expedition to a Cambodian Temple, where the Iris artifact was located. When they found the artifact, they had their first argument, which had very bad consequences on their relationship. Lara wanted Von Croy to show some respect to the inscriptions' warnings, whereas he, being greedy and hungry for fame, wanted to get to the artifact straight away. He got his leg trapped somewhere when he was about to grab the Iris and he got locked in the temple. Lara attempted a rescue but she had to flee to save her own life. However, Von Croy managed to escape from the temple together with the Iris,(maybe that large knife he had with him helped him out?)which he put in his headquarters. He wanted to take revenge from the girl that had betrayed him. Lara stole the Iris and the hatred between the two grew stronger. Later on, he was possessed by Seth and tried to kill Lara, but when Seth's spirit abandoned him, he tried, unsuccessfully, to save her from the temple of Horus. And then ,he devoted the rest of his life trying to find her in the pyramids of Egypt. I find his character quite interesting. It has so many sides-the arrogant and egoist archaeologist that wants to become famous, the jealous mentor that realizes that his pupil has excelled him, the lunatic power-thirsty jackal that wants to take the artifacts from Lara and then kill her and finally, the father that sees his daughter vanish into the darkness and devotes his life to finding her again. In the next Tomb Raider game, his life will come to an abrupt end. He will be hired by Peter Van Eckhardt to steal five 14th century paintings from the museum of Louvre and he'll phone Lara Croft for assistance. And then ,he will be the victim of a horrifying murder. Lara will come into suspicion for the crime and you'll never be quite sure of her innocence.
Born in Maroco, in 1949. This French guy was a friend of Lara and guided her through Russia, giving her information about how she could get to the German U-boat to find the Spear of Destiny. Before that though, he had been teaching her for several years, recognising her potentional. He had no children and because of that, he treated Lara as if she were his daughter.
Lara had dealt with this guy once in the past and she remembered that experience as "unpleasant memories".Sergei Michalov hired an admiral of the Russian Navy to set off to find the legendary Spear of Destiny. When Lara found the artifact, he rushed to grab it from her, ignoring her warnings about how dangerous the artifact would be for someone who didn't deserve being its bearer. Sergei was killed by the deadly wrath of the artifact.
Kurtis is an ex-Legionnaire and experienced warrior with limited occult abilities. He can move objects-for example, he can move a key to the other side of the door with his telekinetic abilities. Raised as an initiate in an ancient order called the Lux Veritatis, Kurtis took on his father's role after the Alchemist hunted down and killed the last of the Order. As the sole remaining descendant, Kurtis is now on a quest for revenge against those that wiped out the Order and killed his father. Although Lara will still play a large role in fighting scenes, he'll be more action-oriented than her. While Lara has her twin pistols, Kurtis has a trademark weapon of his own: the Chirugai which can be used to target and attack multiple enemies in one big swoop. This razor sharp disk can be even manoeuvred in mid flight using Kurtis' limited telekinetic powers. If that's just a little to wacky for you he also carries a pistol with a laser-targeting system that kills monsters.
Lara will meet him in the museum of Louvre. He will seem to be a step in front of her, but eventually, they'll team up, because they are both after the same goal, each one for his entirely different reasons. Kurtis Trent may have his own game series later on. Read the
