Marco Bartoli

Marco Bartoli was the second leader of the Fiamma Nera cult. His father was the first. First, Marco intended to carry on where his father left by getting the Seraph back from his father's sunken ship, the Maria Doria. Marco also had a Tibetan monk, Chan Barkhang, as a prisoner whom he tried to get information from. Unfortunetly for him, Lara Croft would be the one who would get the Seraph so he and his cult travelled to Tibet on the intention of getting the Talion. Again, Lara got there first. He and his cult attempted to stop Lara on her way to China but failed. After Lara enters the Temple of Xian and falls through a trapdoor there is nothing to stop Marco from achieving his goal now. He takes the Dagger of Xian from the pedestal then stands on it and performs the ceremony. Lara arrives back up there just in time to see Marco plunging the Dagger into his heart. Marco's followers catch his lifeless body and carry him to the Dragon's Lair where his transformation will begin. Lara arrives there just as Marco transforms into a Chinese Dragon. Lara soon brings him down with her weapons and approaches his scaly chest then removes the Dagger. Marco's dragon body melts down to the bone and Lara escapes.

While piloting a seaplane with Fabio After exiting the cockpit and seeing Lara While talking about Brother Chan Barkhang
 * "Someday you will get a speeding ticket for that tongue, Fabio."
 * "Is your belief so fragile?"
 * "Relax, breathe deep. The gut, Fabio, has no more direction than a simple through and out."
 * "Honest perhaps, but not enlightened. When my father left when I was a boy, he confided to me that he was enlightened. Beckoned by something greater than impulse. He possessed the Seraph. But he was just a disciple in this design. His death plotting a path to be sought by the one, his son. You understand? Have faith Fabio, not gut-rot. We are searching the right place."
 * "Eros, have you... fixed that rail yet?"
 * "Blood or answers, I have no preference. He should spill a bit of both!"

Trivia

 * It isn't established in game whether the man on the title screen and in the final Tibet FMV is Marco Bartoli. However, scriptwriter Vicky Arnold confirmed that it is Marco.
 * It also isn't established that the villain in the concept art above is Marco Bartoli. But it's obvious because Marco is the only member of the Fiamma Nera to wear a suit and the hairstyle is like Marco's. The only things missing are his glasses and the ceremonial piece that hangs over his shoulders.
 * Marco Bartoli is the only main villain not to have a confrontation with Lara excluding his battle with her as a Dragon.
