Tomb Raider Characters

3:13 The 1996 Tomb Raider has a small cast: Lara Croft; Jacqueline Natla, who hires her and turns out to be an ancient Atlantean ruler; Natla's henchmen Larson and Pierre DuPont, then the Cowboy, the Skater Boy and a bald henchman in the mines; the two other Atlantean rulers, Qualopec and Tihocan, met only as tombs; and Natla's mutants. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, out Feb 12, 2027, keeps that cast and has announced three actors as of Nov 2, 2026: Alix Wilton Regan as Lara, Adrienne Wilkinson as Natla and Bradley Snedeker as Larson Conway. Nobody else has been cast publicly. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

Every character and who plays them

Sources: 1996 roles from Crystal Dynamics' lore and bosses list and Stella's Tomb Raider Site; remake column from Amazon Game Studios' Meet Natla, Meet Larson and Reimagining Peru, and Amazon Game Studios, Dec 11, 2025, as of Nov 2, 2026.

Lara Croft

1:45 The hero, a British archaeologist whom Natla hires at the start of the game to find the lost city of Vilcabamba and the first piece of the Scion. In the remake she is the Survivor trilogy's Lara, older and at the top of her game. Her whole history, across every era, is on Lara Croft, and her voices on Lara Croft Voice Actors.

Jacqueline Natla

1:06:57 The villain. In 1996 she is one of the three rulers of Atlantis, imprisoned in a freezing chamber for betraying the others and freed by the 1945 Trinity atomic test, who now runs Natla Technologies (Crystal Dynamics). She is the final boss in The Great Pyramid. In the remake she is a tech CEO who tries to recruit Lara and is shocked to be refused. See Jacqueline Natla. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

Larson Conway

27:43 Natla's mercenary, who ambushes Lara after the first piece in the Tomb of Qualopec and guards the last one in the Sanctuary of the Scion. The remake makes him a charming brute who plans, with Natla, to betray Lara; Lara takes his shotgun when she beats him. See Larson Conway. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

Pierre DuPont

47:53 Larson's partner, who taunts Lara through Greece, leaving "his mark with a can of beans", and cannot be killed until the Tomb of Tihocan, where Lara takes the second piece and his magnums (Stella's Tomb Raider Site). The remake spells him Dupont and confirms him as Larson's partner in crime (Meet Larson); no actor had been named as of Nov 2, 2026. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

The Cowboy, the Skater Boy and the bald henchman

1:00:19 Three more of Natla's people wait in Natla's Mines, the level where Lara loses her weapons. Stella's Tomb Raider Site describes them: the Cowboy, who carries Lara's magnums; the Skater Boy, met in the skate park, who carries the Uzis; and the bald henchman outside near the pyramid, with a shotgun. They are the level's only 3 kills, by Stella's count. Names often given for them online come from fan wikis, not from the makers, so this viki uses the descriptions. Whether they appear in the remake has not been said. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

Qualopec and Tihocan

Natla's two fellow rulers of Atlantis, who captured and froze her. Qualopec went to Peru, died and was entombed in Vilcabamba facing his piece of the Scion with two mummified guards; Tihocan hid Natla's piece in the City of Khamoon in Egypt, and his own lay in his tomb under St. Francis' Folly, guarded by two Atlantean centaurs (Crystal Dynamics). The remake expands Qualopec into a larger Atlantean story; the makers call him "an Atlantean who helped the Inca and later controlled the dinosaurs".

Natla's mutants, the doppelganger and the Torso

1:02:15 Natla bred a race of mutants with the Scion, turning a sacred pyramid into "a factory of aberrations". In the last levels they hatch from incubators, run, fly and throw darts or fireballs (Stella's Tomb Raider Site). Atlantis adds a fleshy doppelganger that copies Lara's every move, which fans call "Bacon Lara", and The Great Pyramid opens with the giant legless Torso, sometimes called Adam after the official Japanese strategy guide. Every creature is on Enemies. The clip shows the 1996 PlayStation version.

New faces in Legacy of Atlantis

The remake adds mercenaries of Natla's faction with assault rifles, shotguns and sniper rifles (Amazon Game Studios), and names Conrad Roth, Lara's mentor from the Survivor trilogy, as the man who gave her the dual pistols (Combat Reimagined). Lara meets "familiar historical faces" in Greece, unnamed so far (Reimagining Greece). The official site's in-world travel pieces give Lara's guide in Peru the name Carlos (Astonishing Travels), but that is fiction on the website, not a cast announcement. A "returning character" was promised in June 2026 without a name (PlayStation Blog).
