Lara is the product of a privileged childhood, and was sheltered from the harsh realities of life. Growing up, Lara spent time travelling with her parents on archaeological expeditions, until they mysteriously disappeared. She developed a worldly outlook and a passion for ancient mysteries. After graduating college, she took her first major job as a crewmember on the ship Endurance.
After serving two combat tours with the RMC (Royal Marine Commandos) Conrad Roth left the military and put his specialized skills to use as wreck-diver and freelance treasure-hunter. Roth traveled the world, earning a reputation for toughness, competence, and a willingness to bend inconvenient laws restricting traffic in historical artifacts. Those qualities attracted the attention of wealthy private collectors including Laras parents. For several years, Roth accompanied Richard Croft on over a dozen treasure-hunting expeditions, acting as a guide and, when necessary, bodyguard. Roth has modeled his style of leadership on that of his hero, the explorer Ernest Shackleton. The welfare and safety of his crew is paramount to Roth and he prides himself on instinctively knowing who is going to make a good crewmember. He is also a hands-on leader who knows how to boost the morale of his shipmates, have fun and remain both optimistic and realistic.
Lastly, there is the crew. When the Endurance splits in half and the group separated, Lara must find them and regroup at all costs.
Lack of supplies and inclement weather may be the least of Lara and her friends' problems. Carniverous predators lurk the island at every corner, and bands of mercenaries infest the environment as well. To protect herself and regroup with her friends, Lara will have to toughen herself against the harsh terrain.
Survive.
