Zip
He will return in Tomb Raider Legend, where he will support Lara from home, via her headset. In a demo-video we can see or rather head him giving her hints about a Boulder and talk to her about the mission.
He works with Alister Fletcher.
Tomb Raider Legend
Description from the official site
Zip is the tech guy of Lara's team, responsible for providing technical and logistical support for Lara's endeavors worldwide - he's the guy in the van or the server room at Lara's Mansion, and Lara's constant remote companion via radio headset. A wisecracking guy who's part ultra-techno-geek and part street savvy. He used to be over the top, but a few years in prison toned him down a notch and increased his resentment towards all things establishment. A former computer hacker, he works with Lara for the challenge and the thrill of it. He's personally loyal to Lara, and it really is the most fun he can have without getting arrested.
He should not be confused with Bryce, who plays this role in the Movies.
