Alister Fletcher

Alister

"The real Merlin would roll around in the mud and bark at you. And I'm being generous by calling it mud."

Voiced by Greg Ellis

Alister Fletcher (often misspelled: Alastair or Alistair) is an eccentric archaeologist and conspiracy theorist who is one of Lara's supporters back home. He has his first appearance in Tomb Raider Legend and returns in Tomb Raider Underworld.

He is first heard along with Zip at the beginning of the Bolivia level. He and Zip talk to Lara over the headset. He has just come back from a trip to Genoa, in Italy. He had originally intended to travel to Florence. Alister often sounds nervous and does not approve of Lara's more daring antics up to the point of saying that she sometimes frightens him. While he is often in contact with Lara, Alister is not heard for the first half of the Ghana level, during which he is researching on the origin of the sword fragments. Amanda Evert also cuts their communication. Alister can often be heard bickering with Zip, to whom he provides a foil.

Alister is Lara's research assistant, providing another mind filled with arcane historical information, someone to bounce ideas off of, and provide quick additional research, while Lara's in the field. He's in this to test his theories, uncover secrets no one else can, and because it's the only place his eccentric knowledge is useful. Alister is tense and prickly, and takes himself much too seriously.

Alister looks very different than in Legend, but his clothes are similar.

Fate

In Underworld, Alister is killed at the hands of Lara's Doppelganger who shoots him while Lara is on the other side of the glass, powerless to help.

Alister: [after being shot by the Doppelganger] I feel... bloody awful. Lara: Shh... Just lie still. Alister: I'll see... see you... Lara: Alister, hold on! Alister: ...see you... in Avalon.
