It’s up to Lara Croft and Carter Bell to stop a group of cultists from causing worldwide cataclysmic devastation! Ancient ivory artifacts hold the key to both salvation and destruction, and these rivals turned friends must recover them before the cultists in a race against time! Lara’s newest quest is filled with incredible action, dual pistols, and high-spirited adventure in the same universe as the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris games!
Allies:
Carter Bell
It is suggested that Carter had recently learnt the art of Falconry as that is what many an archaeologist does. After losing the piece of ivory, Carter called Lara and invited her to Istanbul in Turkey to tell her of his discovery. He had been fearful of his life after being accused of stealing another ivory piece. They were then chased by an evil shadow, which took the ivory piece from him. He and Lara managed to save the day, eventually destroying the Ivory pieces. He took his falcon to Croft Manor in the final page of issue #5 after nurturing her back to health. |
Stan Grus
He was first seen in issue #3 when he invited Lara Croft and Carter Bell to view his collection, namely his Ivory piece. He informed them of the history of the ivory pieces but when the Shadow Monsters interrupted them, he was touched by them and turned against Lara and Carter, taking the Ivory piece and Carter's falcon with him as he ordered for them to be locked into the vault. In issue #5, he realised that what Mr Green was doing was wrong so he tried to stop it. When Mr Green asked Antun to kill them, he managed to avoid death as Carter's falcon distracted the man and Grus then attacked him. When Lara and Carter arrived in the cavern, he aided them in stopping Mr Green. |

Baddies:
Mr Andro Green
Andro was seen in small parts throughout issues #1 to #3, known as ‘Mr Green’, and then he has a bigger role in issues #4 and #5. He bought a house after discovering a nearby cavern that interested him. It is revealed in issue #4 that he was a politician and Chloe was his campaign manager. He resided in a cavern, watching fire. He had telepathic powers and used them to force people to do what he wanted them to do, more specifically to kill people to feed the fire which in turn powered a large creature with horns. In issue #5, Chloe said that Mr Green's first name is Andro. Lara Croft defeated his creature form by pulling off the Ivory pieces from his antlers. Mr Green reverted back to his human form. |
