Zip is the tech guy of Lara's team, responsible for providing technical and logistical support for Lara's endeavours worldwide - he's the guy in the van or the server room at Lara's mansion, and Lara's constant remote companion via radio headset.

A wisecracking guy who's part ultra-techno-geek and part street savvy. He used to be over-the-top, but a few years in prison toned him down a notch and increased his resentment toward all things establishment.

A former computer hacker, he works with Lara for the challenge and thrill of it. He's personally loyal to Lara, and it really is the most fun he can have without getting arrested.

Alister is Lara's research assistant, providing another mind filled with arcane historical information, someone to bounce ideas off of, and provide quick additional research while Lara's in the field.

He is in this to test his theories, uncover secrets no one else can, and because it's the only place his eccentric knowledge is really useful.

Alister is tense and prickly, and takes himself much too seriously

Anaya is a civil engineer working in impoverished areas of South America. She's an old friend of Lara's dating back to their days at university, and she was with Lara during the tragedy near Segou.

She has since led a distinguished career of her own, routinely crossing paths with Lara.
