Winston (Original Timeline)

Winston Smith is Lara Croft's butler in the Croft Manor.

Winston's family has been with the Crofts for generations, and he has been the family butler since he was honorably discharged from the military in his late-twenties; just as his father before him. He moved into Croft Manor to stay as the only live-in staff when his wife died, before Lara was born. He tends to all Lara's household needs, going far beyond the duties of a traditional butler given Lara's unusual lifestyle and pursuits, but he has never disappointed her. His loyalty to Lara, her parents, and Croft Manor is beyond question. His name maybe is a tribute to the Winston Smith from George Orwell's 1984.

A fun game that was very popular among the fans was locking Winston in the fridge in the original Tomb Raider games, as he always followed you. Run into the kitchen. Open the fridge by using the button. Get inside the fridge and wait for Winston to appear. Then quickly run out leaving him and shut the door again.
