Larson Conway is one of the main villains appearing in the video game Tomb Raider and the remake Tomb Raider Anniversary. He also plays a minor role in Tomb Raider Chronicles.
Biography
Tomb Raider
In the original Tomb Raider, Larson is an Arkansan former U.S. marine and a mercenary hired by the evil Jaqueline Natla to retrieve the missing pieces of an ancient artifact called the scion before the treasure hunter Lara Croft finds them. He is portraited as not being very intelligent and dresses in a red shirt and jeans. He is shot down by Lara during a gun fight in Natla's mines.
Tomb Raider Chronicles
In Tomb Raider Chronicles, he reappears in a level supposedly based before the first game. He is in Rome with another hunter searching for the Philosopher's Stone that has been found by Lara. He is last seen being tossed aside by three gargoyle heads that come to life.
Although this game is based in the original Tomb Raider continuity, there is an inconsistency. Tomb Raider Chronicles takes place before the first Tomb Raider game, but when she meets him in the first game she doesn't know who he is.
Tomb Raider Anniversary
With Tomb Raider Anniversary being a remake, the events unfold very similar to the first game although there are some differences. He is portrayed as being more intelligent than in the original and not as hostile, he often tries to avoid using lethal force against Lara and wears a blue shirt instead of a red one. He dies in a similar way to the first game, only here Lara feels much more regret after killing him.
