Travels aboard the Endurance and becomes central to the island’s mystery.
Quick notes
- The Endurance crew anchors the story. Lara travels with an expedition rather than beginning as the established veteran of earlier games.
- Sam connects the crew to the island mystery. Sam’s family background and the island’s ritual history make her especially important to the plot.
- Roth is Lara’s experienced mentor. Roth provides guidance during the early survival story.
- Mathias leads the human opposition. Mathias controls the Solarii and pursues his own interpretation of the island’s supernatural threat.
