Alister Fletcher is a character featured in Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Underworld.
Biography[]
Alister Fletcher is Lara's research assistant and a repository for an array of detailed historical information. He confines his researches to libraries and museums, however, concentrating on understanding and explaining what has already been found, as opposed to Lara's search for new artifacts. He's a 15th-year doctoral student at Oxford and hasn't received his doctorate because his belief that everything is connected to everything else makes it impossible for him to draw the boundaries required to finish his dissertation.
Alister informs Lara through the headset about the historical facts when needed, while in the library of Croft Manor. He also often is bickering and commenting on the events with Zip.
Alister briefly helps Lara in the Mediterranean Sea and Thailand alongside with Zip through Lara's laptop, expressing skepticism at the possibility that Amelia is still alive. He is also seen walking down to the crypt in the Croft Manor with Lara to help her find a way to Richard's workplace. Once Lara returns to Croft Manor from the crypt, she realizes that someone lit the manor on fire and Alister is nowhere to be found. Lara ordered Zip and Winston to leave the property, and promised to find Alister herself. Lara's Doppelgänger shoots Alister, with one last promise that he will meet Lara in Avalon (mirroring the dying words of James Rutland in Bolivia) he dies. Lara later carries his body out to Zip and Winston Smith.
