Lara's adventures start in India, while she's searching for the Infada Stone, a local legendary artifact, located in the ruins of an ancient temple in the Jungle. While following Ganges and after having found the artifact she meets Dr.Willard, a Scottish scientist who appears to be quite friendly. He tells her that the Infada Stone is one of the four artifacts that were made of an ancient meteorite and hires her to find the rest three. The four artifacts are:The Infada Stone,The Element 115,The Ora Dagger and The Eye of Isis.

As we can see in the opening FMV, the meteorite was discovered by some British sailors who saw the four artifacts placed with it. The only survivor sold all the artifacts when he returned to England. Willard needs the material of the artifacts to do some experiments.

After Lara has found all four artifacts, she heads to Antarctica, where Willard is doing his research. The plot thickens when Lara discovers that the material of the artifacts may have bad consequences in evolution, when tested on humans. Willard steals her artifacts and a man chase begins.

Characters

Doctor Willard

A scientist who was in seek for power. He seemed like a nice guy at first, so he hired lara to go in search of Infrade stones from a meteorite.

Tony
(No Picture)
(Seen in Tomb Raider 3,defeated in Level:Caves of Caliya)

Dr. Willard hired three adventurers to find the four meteorite artifacts: Tony, Randy and Rory. But when you are deep in the jungle and the sun is beating down and you are exposed to his deceptive rays all the time without wearing a hat, you might suffer from heat exhaustion. But you might as well be driven insane, kill your partners in morbid ways(I found a corpse hanging from the ceiling) and start saying weird things to the first person you come across about how tired with people you are, because they always talk and talk and never let you alone...The second thing happened to Tony. He apparently had magic powers-he made several boulders fall around Lara, and she was very lucky to survive. After following this lunatic into the Caves of Caliya, Lara killed him in there, in 1998 and retrieved the Infada Stone.

Leader of the Damned
(No Picture)
(seen in Tomb Raider 3,in Level:Lud's Gate))

He was once a worker in Sophia's labs and he was used as a guinea pig in her experiments with some sort of immortality power which was supposed to give everlasting beauty. This man had thought that this job would pay well and that he would be able to live a better life, but a failed experiment turned him into a faceless monstrous creature, presumed dead. Lara broke into the hideout of the Gang of the Damned and he helped her with Sophia, because he wanted to take revenge. The only thing he asked in return was some embalming fluid from the natural history museum.

Sophia Leigh

She's an attractive blond woman about 30 years old. Her hands are always well-manicured and she's dressed in elegant and expensive clothes. She is the head of the Leigh Cosmetics Corporation. She used her assistants as guinea pigs despite having promised them good accommodation e.t.c and they ended up as faceless people, because of a failed experiment that had something to do with an everlasting beauty potion. She had the Eye of Isis under possession and Lara battled her to retrieve it. She had a kind of magic wand (septher) that threw magic green bolts and she tended to giggle like a maniac. Although normal weapons couldn't cause the slightest damage to her, Lara managed to defeat her in 1998.But she was somehow resurrected from the dead and battled Lara again on her guest for the Hand of Randthmore and in spite of the fact that she was very sure that she was going to win that time, she was defeated for a second time with fatal consequences.

Puma

(No Picture)

There is not really much to say about this guy. He lives in a temple and sits without moving in his throne. We can assume that he's a sort of god or son of a god. He has his body colored red and he's very old. He has under command a small army of green lizards and he can strike blue bolts at Lara.
