Sun Queen

She is first mentioned and seen in Tomb Raider (2013).

She was named Queen Himiko, and as described by Sam, she was a beautiful, enigmatic but ruthless queen who ruled Japan thousands of years ago with the help of her Stormguard. It is said that she had shamanistic powers and that the sun would rise at her command and anything its beams of sunlight touched would be under her power.

It seems that Lara's friend, Sam, may have some kind of connection through her heritage.

It is later found out that she is currently still alive in a decaying body due to a ritual gone wrong and that the storms surrounding the Dragon's Triangle is the physical manifestation of her rage and anguish.

In an attempt to appease Queen Himiko, Mathias brings Sam to her decaying body so that she may transfer her soul into Sam's young, healthy body in hopes that the storms will recede.
