Mark Willard (Tomb Raider)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Mark Willard is a Scottish archaeological researcher. He makes his only appearance to date in the Tomb Raider series during Tomb Raider III, acting as one of the main characters and also one of the major plot twists in the story later on in the game.

He asks Lara to find 3 meteorite stones for him after Lara finds the first one in an Indian temple herself while confronting Tony, one of Willard's men who was driven insane in the jungle. He left his fellow men for dead and had taken the Infada stone for himself.

Lara later confronts the Doctor in Antarctica, which leads into a gunfight between the two, resulting in Willard escaping with the artifacts and Lara following in pursuit. They then meet for the last time in the meteorite cavern, where Willard is mutated into a giant spider like creature, after movements of the ground caused him to fall into a hole containing toxic chemicals. Lara then kills the giant, mutated Willard.
