Lara and her friend, Byron Owen visit County Offaly in Ireland as Lara is interested in finding the Dolmen Emerald. When they come across the caretaker of the haunted castle in a pub, Byron starts to get second thoughts about travelling with Lara. His doubts become reality and Lara is left to unravel the mystery of Lotte Castle and the Dolmen Emerald.​

Byron Owen
​(? - 2004)
A friend of Lara's, he agreed to aide her as she visited Lotte Castle, the most haunted castle in Ireland, to search for the Dolmen Emerald. He didn't spend long in the castle and was quickly driven crazy by the sightings. He tried to escape through the front door, clawing at it and causing his fingers to bleed. The vibrations of his actions dislodged a stone figure up above which fell on top of him, killing him. 

Artefacts:

Picture
Dolmen Emerald
It is the source of 'Tir Na Nog', the realm of eternal youth and it grants the bearer immortality. It was found by Lara in Lotte Castle, County Offaly in Ireland. It also had the power of trapping the ghosts of the castle within the walls, forcing them to go on for eternity. Ian O'Conner tried keeping it in his possession to stay immortal but Lara stole it from him and gave it to the Elemental, which reversed the power of immortality and freed all the trapped souls.

He, along with the castle caretaker, Dunleavy, tortured people in order for O'Connor to stay youthful.
