Scion

The Scion is the key element of the storyline of Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: Anniversary.

A device which when used by the three Atlantean rulers (Tihocan, Qualopec and Natla) could create anything the user desired, it was designed to seperate into three piece's, each of these pieces were worn around the necks of the Atlantean Gods and it could only be used once all three piece's were put together. Natla wanted the power to herself so she could start 'the seventh age' (something which Tihocan and Qualopec did not agree with), in an attempt to get the other two piece's she needed, Natla set an attack upon her fellow Atlantean God's (disabeling Qualapec) this did not work and she was banished from the sacred order of the three and as sentenced to a punishment of being frozen for eternity, after this Qualopec and Tihocan casted the three pieces of the scion in seperate locations (Peru, Greece and Egypt) so that it could never be used after there eventual death.

Natla escaped her imprisonment sometime in the 1950's, she posed as a Buisness woman under the name of 'Jaqueline Natla' and she built a co-orporation and became CEO of 'Natla Technologies', It wasnt till 1996 (which the games were set) that Natla hired Lara Croft to retrieve the pieces of the scion, towards the end of the game Lara Croft confronts Natla, it is here that Natla asks Lara to join her as it takes three to rule, after hesitation Lara shoots the Scion just before Natla pushes her off the edge in a attempt to save it (which lead's both characters to fall of the platform). This is the last time the Scion is see

It is not revealed nor mentioned what the fate of the scion was.

The scion was in the trophy room in TRII or TRIII, but, it was in pieces.
