Werner Von Croy is an Archaeologist from the Tomb Raider game series. He was Lara Croft's mentor. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1940.[1]
When Lara was 16, Von Croy took her on a journey to Angkor Wat in Cambodia for her very first adventure in a training level at the start of the game in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Werner wanted to find an old artifact "Iris" which was hidden in the temple. His leg was hurt during the search and he used a Jackal Walking Stick afterwards. Croft abandons Von Croy in order to escape.
They meet again later in the plot, in the present day, now as enemies, seeking the Amulet of Horus. It is at this time that Lara and her rival correct their relationship, when he tries to save her life at the end of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.
In Tomb Raider Chronicles, stories were told of Lara's past in which she steals the Iris from Von Croy in his high-tech American business headquarters called Von Croy Industries (VCI) and the conflict grows.
Between the events of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness, Lara and Von Croy have an encounter which is not featured in the games. They once again disagree and become enemies, until Von Croy invites Lara to his apartment in Paris, where he is murdered by a mysterious monstrum, and Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness begins.
