Cowboy

"Ain't nothin' personal."

- Cowboy

The Cowboy was one of Jacqueline Natla's hired mercenaries in the original Tomb Raider.

Recovering the Scion
"Well? Kill her!"

- Natla

Along with the Bald Man and the Skater Boy, the Cowboy ambushed Lara Croft in Egypt after she had recovered the final piece of the Atlantean Scion. Lara, however, escaped, although she had lost the artifact and her weaponry to the mercenaries.

The Cowboy headed off with his fellows and Natla to a nearby yacht, where they made their departure for Atlantis, although there was a stowaway in their midst - Lara had pursued them.

At the now concluded Natla Technologies mining excavation on the island of Atlantis, each of the mercenaries lied in wait for Lara to arrive. The Cowboy was the first to meet her, although was quickly dispatched by the adventurer. Lara retrieved the Magnums from his body after the fight.

Trivia

 * Even though he is depicted holding two revolvers in all of his artworks, keeping with the cowboy theme, the Cowboy uses a pair of Magnums instead during his fight with Lara (possibly her own after they were taken away by the mercenaries).
 * The Cowboy does not return for Tomb Raider: Anniversary. He is replaced by Larson, which means that Larson's death now takes place in Natla's Mines.
 * He is the only character to not return, or have any equivalent character in Anniversary.
 * The Cowboy's hair color changes between the FMV sequence and Natla's Mines; first it is blond and then changes to black, respectively. He also has a beard during gameplay which is absent in the FMV.
