Richard Croft (Legend Timeline)



Lord Richard Croft, 10th Earl of Abbington is a character from the Tomb Raider series and the father of Lara Croft. He was first mentioned in the instruction manual of the first game (then known as Henshingley Croft) but did not appear until the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider where he was portrayed by Jon Voight. He was mentioned for the first time in-game in Tomb Raider: Legend, but only appeared in a portrait above the fireplace in Croft Manor. Richard Croft plays a minor role in the remake of the first game, Tomb Raider Anniversary. Some cinematics contain narration from his past perspective, and was said to have chased after the scion in his life, possibly alongside Lara herself.

Despite being killed by Natla, Richard Croft along with Amelia attend Lara's memorial service in Tomb Raider Chronicles.
