Wounded Soldier

The Wounded Soldier is an Australian soldier that Lara Croft encounters in a coastal village during his search for the Ora Dagger in the South Pacific.

Biography
After navigating the village, Lara enters a treehouse and finds the soldier, swatting away flies that are attracted to his amputated leg. The man cautiously asks if she is bleeding or looking for a place to use as a "dunny" (toilet). After Lara declines both of these, he explains that he doesn't want any more flies being attracted to him.

When Lara asks what happened to him, he replies that he woke up in the jungle with someone eating his leg, but that person could not be identified due to the darkness. Lara assumes it to be a cannibalistic tribesman, but she says that they don't usually eat right off the bone, like what happened to him.

From there, the soldier tells Lara that his plane crashed up in the mountains and every night, some of his co-workers would go missing without a trace, while others ran away. After complaining about his capture, Lara offers to help him escape but he turns her down due to his wound making him vulnerable to all the parasitical bugs in the jungle. Before he rolls over and goes back to sleep, the soldier asks Lara to direct any of his remaining men to the north shore.

Trivia

 * His encounter with the tribesmen made the Wounded Soldier think that it was actually one of them that was eating his leg, an idea that Lara refuted since she did not believe that the tribesmen would eat someone alive. Judging by the fact that this event happened at night, preventing the soldier from actually seeing anyone, and since the jungle is largely inhabited by dinosaurs, it is more likely that a velociraptor attacked him.
 * Although the Wounded Soldier asks Lara to tell his men to head North, she never does it in game. Actually, all the soldiers can die without having any effect on the story.
 * When Lara arrives at the Tree house that contains the Soldier, after she defeats several tribesmen, you can hear the soldier call out "Hey You!".
 * We don't know what's his name.
