Konstantin (Survivor Timeline)

Konstantin is the leader of a Battalion of Trinity's Forces, and a main antagonist in Rise of the Tomb Raider. He is first seen when he leads a team to the Tomb of the Prophet, in Syria.

He was raised by Trinity and suffers from a Messiah Complex, which is encouraged by his manipulating sister, Ana. He takes part in the massacre of Jacob's people in the old Soviet facilities and surrounding valley, during his search for the Divine Source so he can cure his sister of an illness that is slowly killing her, and also lead an immortal army.

Later in the game, he stabs an armed Jonah in front of Lara in order to escape. He is a cruel, ruthless man, as is evident when he gouges out the eyes of a subordinate with his own thumbs after the man fails one of his commands and leaves him on the ground in torment.

In the ruins of Kitezh he tried to kill Lara one more time, but was defeated, despite having disarmed Lara before the battle. When she left him to die he began taunting her about her father's death, claiming Trinity had him killed, and that he groveled for his life before the end. Players are given the choice as to kill Konstantin in a fit of rage, or leave him to his own demise to which Lara will claim "you're not worth it" before the floor below will collapse, allowing flames to engulf him.

Konstantin appears to have holes through his palms possibly referencing the cucifiction of Jesus, the wounds themselves are revealed to be real after Konstantin is seen with his gloves off and praying in a decrepid church. After a grueling prayer his palms begin to bleed suggesting the wounds are recent.

Trivia

 * Konstantin says in one document that he was a child when the wounds in his hands first appeared, that he had woken up screaming in pain.
