Biography
Kosa is a friend of Lara Croft. In 2003 Lara contacted him to set up a jeep and head into Tanzania. Lara parachuted down into the jeep while Kosa was driving it. They went to the base of the Mountain of God near the Kilimanjaro mountain. Kosa helped translate what the local tribe was saying about the Mati and the Pandora's Box. When Jonathan Reiss arrived and blackmailed Lara to lead him to the box with her friends' lives, Kosa mentioned the walk up the mountain, secretly hinting about the Shadow Guardian that protect the mountain to Lara. Kosa was taken along for the walk, while Lara's friends stayed behind under guard. After the mercenaries were all killed by the Shadow Guardians, Reiss threatens Kosa, and Lara opens the passageway to the Cradle of Life to save him from the Shadow Guardians. Kosa waits outside and the local tribe arrives. After Lara return alone from the Cradle of Life, Kosa again translates between Lara and the locals. Kosa leaves with Lara and her friends knowing the Pandora's Box is safe.
