−	In [[Rise of the Tomb Raider]], Lara's father plays an important role, although he is only seen in flashback scenes. When Lara was still a child he was researching the undying [[Prophet]] and the [[Divine Source]], a mystical artefact that grants immortality. For this he was discredited by his colleagues who thought he left the path of pure science as well as the press that ridiculed his attempts at explaining the supernatural. In the end he committed suicide, leaving behind Lara - who now is an orphan as her mother already died a long time ago - and his girlfriend [[Ana]].

She returns to her [[London]] flat where she has gathered her fathers research and meets Ana there. As soon as she deciphers a clue that leads her to the lost city of [[Kitezh]] an Trinity operative appears and steals her work.

−	Some time after arriving in [[Siberia]] Ana reveals herself as being part of [[Trinity]] and having only ever entered into a relationship with Lord Croft in order to spy on him.
