Von Croy Sr.

Von Croy is the father of Werner Von Croy and the head of Von Croy Industries (VCI).

Early life
Not much is known about his life, but it is possible that when his son was born, he was a Wehrmacht soldier in the early days of World War II. When the war ended he and his unit worked at a POW labor camp for a year and then was released.

Curator of Vienna Museum
Trying to forget his past, Von Croy was the curator of Vienna's museum in Austria. He was responsible for introducing Werner to ancient artefacts. When Werner was older, he recovered several artefacts and presented them to the museum.

Head of Von Croy Industries
"Ah, your past once more comes back to haunt you, Werner."

- Von Croy Sr.

Von Croy (Senior) became the head of Von Croy Industries, a company based in New York that produced hi-tech equipment and technology, sometimes for the US military. On May 26th 1997, archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft infiltrated VCI with the assistance of former VCI employee, Zip. She attempted to and succeeded at stealing the Iris, an artefact that brought about the anamosity between herself and Werner back in 1984 at Angkor Wat. Upon learning who the intruder was, Werner was quite irritated at this development but his father remained relatively calm, placing the building under full alert to apprehend Lara Croft. However, she escaped from the rooftops to safety elsewhere.
