Larson in the 1996 Tomb Raider
Natla hired Lara to recover the first piece of the Scion in Peru and meant Larson to tie up the loose end once she had it (Crystal Dynamics). He ambushes her as she leaves with it. Beaten, he "reveals more than he should", which sends Lara to Natla Technologies and on to Greece; it was Larson who told her the company made "all things bright and beautiful".
He returns in the Sanctuary of the Scion, the last Egyptian level, in the Scion Room, near the stairs where the last piece waits (Stella's Tomb Raider Site). Lara defeats him there and takes the third piece. Crystal Dynamics' summary has both henchmen resting "where two of the Scion pieces were once safeguarded": Larson in Egypt, Pierre in the Tomb of Tihocan.
How to beat Larson (1996)
Both fights are gunfights. In the Tomb of Qualopec he is one of 8 kills, by Stella's count, with raptors, wolves and a mummy; in the Sanctuary he is one of 15, among Atlantean mutants and centaurs, by which point Lara may carry the shotgun, magnums and the Uzis from that level's one secret. Step-by-step routes are on each level's page.
Pierre Dupont
Larson's partner is the rival who appears again and again in Greece: several times in St. Francis' Folly, where he cannot yet be killed (Stella's Tomb Raider Site), three times in the Colosseum (Stella), and in the Cistern, where he is driven off (Stella). Crystal Dynamics says he taunts Lara through Greece, leaving "his mark with a can of beans". Lara finally kills him in the Tomb of Tihocan and takes the second Scion piece and his magnums (Stella's Tomb Raider Site). Crystal Dynamics' 1996 lore spells him DuPont; the remake's material writes Dupont. In Legacy of Atlantis he is Larson's partner in crime, and no actor had been named for him as of Nov 2, 2026. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.
Larson in Legacy of Atlantis
The official feature "Meet Larson" (Oct 5, 2026) sets him up:
- He is Natla's mercenary and the first face Lara meets in the search for the Scion; Game Director Raul Siqueira calls him "more of a brute".
- He and Natla plan to betray Lara, and he and Pierre both believe they can outsmart her. Siqueira says it does not work out for them.
- Beating him rewards the player with a new weapon: his shotgun, his "parting gift".
- Alix Wilton Regan, who plays Lara, says Larson thinks he is her male counterpart, and describes a mutual flirtation; Adrienne Wilkinson (Natla) calls him a lovable goon.
- Character artist Brendon Bengston says his gruff, gritty quality shaped his shapes and colors.
Where the fight happens in the remake has not been said. In 1996 the shotgun comes from The Lost Valley, before Larson; previews of the remake's Greece demo say the shotgun turns up there (Gamescom, Sep 2, 2026). See Weapons.
Bradley Snedeker
Bradley Snedeker was revealed as Larson in the 12th episode of the official mini-documentary series, posted on Steam on Oct 10, 2026, which gives the full name "Larson Conway". Experience Director Jeff Adams: "Bradley brings the swagger."
