The Passion for Clocks
Manfred Powell was a deep collector of many assorted clocks of all sorts specializing in the department of their construction.

He expresses his undying passion of them to Lady Lara Croft the Countress of Abbington of Fall 2001 in the presence of the Rural England.

He upholded a residence here and his primary location was littered with the many clocks of which he desired.

The Fall
Manfred Powell commanded alongside Alex West, the swindling betraying thief, hundreds of the Local carriers of Cambodia into opening the Tomb of Keo and retrieving the first of two halves of the Triangle of Light.

However Lara ignited the Cauldron of Youth and, upon the pillar she latched upon, shot down and retrieved the piece while the clock determining the alignment which was also stolen by Powell in the Croft Manor Raid Ransack still remained in his possession.

A Meeting with the Illuminati
Manfred Powell was a sordid member of the powerful mythological Illuminati and was second seat next to the leader of the 21st Century.

He was approached by Lara who contemplated his importance and position but as well witnessed his reckless power.

The Fall of An Illuminati
During the Nepal expedition to the Ice Cave Tomb containing the final fragment of the Triangle of Light, the Ritual of Restoration committed by the Illuminati leader was cut short by Powell's murder of him.

His motivation for the killing besides the long lecture given was also met with enjoyment as Lara contemplated; as he did not like being second best in comparison to the new Illuminati.

Forging of the Triangle
Manfred Powell and Lara Amelia Croft assembled in the Nepal Tomn of Moving Time the Triangle of Light and was revealed the murderer of her father Richard and the means of his destruction.

A Race then commenced to the top of the triangle to obtain the fully forged triangle.

Lara's obtaining of the Triangle instead of turning back time to the furthest point to bring back her father would not work and instead leave the murdered Alex West to still gasp upon the water and blood sentenced upon him by Powell.

Lara turned back time to the point of Alex West's death, gaining hold of the knife and spiraling it back at Powell. The chamber then began to self-destruct, and everyone turned to leave, but Powell told Croft that he killed her father and retrieved his pocket watch with a picture of Lara's mother inside. Lara and Powell then engaged into a hand to hand fight - resulting in his death by Lara snapping his neck.
