Jean-Yves

Jean Yves was a friend of Lara Croft's.

Soon after removing the Amulet of Horus from the Burial Chambers inside the Tomb of Seth, she escaped Werner Von Croy's workforce and headed to meet Jean. She showed Jean the Amulet, Jean then produced some papyrus' telling more of the Amulet and where more information could be found. She met Jean again in Alexandria, but by that time she had lost the Amulet to Von Croy. Jean suggested that she look through the Catacombs for the Armour of Horus. Lara did indeed find the Armour, but when she got back to Alexandria, a note was left on his desk by Von Croy asking for a simple trade, his life for the Armour of Horus.

At the City of the Dead inside the Citadel, Lara found Jean tied to a pillar. Jean claimed that Von Croy was possessed by Set. Presumably, he found his way out of the city and escaped.

Trivia

 * Jean Yves was to appear in Tomb Raider Chronicles, but Core Design had used the character of Jean Yves without permission from the real person, so he did not appear. However, beta versions of Tomb Raider Chronicles exist showing the FMVs without proper audio and with Jean Yves in Charles Kane's eventual place. Jean Yves can also be seen in the game's storyboards.
 * When Jean Yves is first introduced in Tomb Raider IV, he says in French: "My God, Lara?"
