Rourke

Commander Rourke, also known by the codename Paladin One, is the leader of Trinity's military forces and second-in-command to Dr. Pedro Dominguez.

He is the secondary antagonist in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Early Life
Rourke was a highly decorated U.S. Special Forces soldier with a spotless record of successful black ops around the world. Trinity approached Rourke to recruit him to lead their military forces based on his reputation alone. In his new position, Rourke answered only to Trinity's High Council and served as the second-in-command to Dr. Pedro Dominguez. He did not always agree with Dominguez's orders, the two developed a grudging mutual respect for each other.

Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rourke was in contact with Konstantin during the search for the Divine Source, warning him of what would happen should he fail. Upon the destruction of the Divine Source, he ordered one of his men to assassinate Ana for her failure. Though on Dominguez's orders he was told not to kill Lara, he deeply regretted following this order.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Rourke traveled to Cozumel, Mexico along with Dr. Dominguez in order to retrieve to retrieve the Key of Chak Chel. Ordering his men via radio to keep an eye out for Lara. Upon finding Lara, he took the Key of Chak Chel from her, leaving Lara alive on Dominguez's orders.

He traveled to Peru with Dominguez and several battalions of Trinity's soldiers, becoming more and more enraged at Lara's continued success at slaughtering his men and thwarting Trinity's plans. When Lara and Unuratu investigated the tomb of Paititi's emperors in search of clues to the Silver Box of Ix Chel, Rourke and a squad of Trinity troops arrived and tried to eliminate them. Unuratu managed to kill the Trinity soldiers with her bow, but was shot and killed by Rourke. Later, after Lara and Jonah Maiava were ambushed by a Trinity Cardinal attack helicopter, Rourke identified Lara's comms channel and took the opportunity to taunt her while his forces hunted her through the Porvenir Oil Fields, even lying and telling her that Jonah had been killed to enrage her.

Rourke was part of the defense in City of the Serpent, manning a paladin. He was killed by Crimson Fire.
