Charles Kane

Charles Kane was an old friend of Lara Croft and used to be her History teacher at Wimbledon.

Charles Kane was among the three who held a memorial service for Lara after hearing of her presumed death. They remember her past adventures. Charles tells of the episode in which Lara searches for the Spear of Destiny.

The Spear of Destiny
In 1998, Lara is on the hunt for the Spear of Destiny, which is also being sought after by the Russian mafia. Charles accompanies Lara to track her movements so that he is able to collect her later on. After Lara sets off to infiltrate the Zapadnaya Litsa port, Charles departs on a snowmobile and thereafter boards a ship. Whilst at sea, Charles is still tracking Lara's position. When she emerges after her adventure, Charles goes up to to the deck and utilizes a sniper rifle to make sure that it is her. However, the Spear of Destiny transpired to be one dangerous artifact that was perhaps best left to it's slum.
