Today
sees the introduction of Jonah Maiava as part
of Endurance Week, where a new character from
Tomb Raider will be fleshed out every day. Jonah
Maiava is a cook and general ships dogsbody on
board the Endurance. Supporting artwork from Endurance
Week also
available.
"Jonah
was born in New Zealand, but raised in Hawaii
by his maternal grandmother. As a young man, he
traveled back to his home country to serve in
the army. His strength and almost preternatural
ability to detect danger made him a popular member
of his unit. And his ability to prepare and cook
almost anything didn't hurt either.
"After
sustaining injuries in the line of duty, Jonah
was honorably discharged and went to work as a
chef in his sister's cafe in Ngapuhi. While in
New Zealand, Roth encountered Jonah dockside carrying
four crates of seafood at once. Impressed by his
strength (and later his cooking), Roth offered
him a place on the Endurance."
