[ February 19 2013 ]

Today sees the introduction of Conrad Roth as part of Endurance Week, where a new character from Tomb Raider will be fleshed out every day. 52-year-old Conrad Roth is the Captain of the Endurance. His bio as follows. Supporting artwork from Endurance Week also available.

"After serving two combat tours with the RMC (Royal Marine Commandos) Roth left the military and put his specialized skills to use as wreck-diver and freelance treasure-hunter. Roth travelled the world, earning a reputation for toughness, competence, and a willingness to bend inconvenient laws restricting traffic in historical artefacts. Those qualities attracted the attention of wealthy private collectors including Lara's parents.

"For several years, Roth accompanied Richard Croft on over a dozen treasure-hunting expeditions, acting as a guide and, when necessary, bodyguard. Roth has modelled his style of leadership on that of his hero, the explorer Ernest Shackleton.

"The welfare and safety of his crew is paramount to Roth and he prides himself on instinctively knowing who is going to make a good crewmember. He is also a hands-on leader who knows how to boost the morale of his shipmates, have fun and remain both optimistic and realistic."
