Īfter her expedition she resumed her studies, attending Gordonstoun Boarding School (age 16-18), in Scotland, where she discovered her love for climbing, water sports, horse back riding and archery. Von Croy was trapped, and Lara was forced to abandon him in order to escape. Von Croy took the Iris, which caused the temple to begin to collapse. Lara deciphered a tablet that stated that removing the Iris would be dangerous, though Von Croy disregarded the warning and insisted she help him open the dome which housed the Iris. Von Croy challenged Lara to a race on the last leg of the trek through the temple they were exploring, where the winner would claim the Iris. While doing one of these tasks, Lara found a backpack which she took from a dead explorer. Von Croy asked Lara for her assistance at several points, though Lara seemed to believe he was just giving her menial tasks to do. So Lara traveled with Werner to Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

He remembered Lara from his lecture - her incessant yet insightful questions had made quite an impression upon him.Īnd so it was agreed by all that Lara would accompany Von Croy for the duration of the tour. Lara's company as an assistant would be welcome, as was the offer of such a generous check. Von Croy's reply assured Lord Croft that the territories were friendly and that he had ample experience to look after both his and Lara's well being. As Lara argued the case further, he found himself walking over to the desk and penning a letter to Von Croy, introducing himself as an influential society figure and offering financial assistance in exchange for his daughter's place on the expedition. Lord Croft could hardly disagree that travel was an education in itself. Unable to contain herself, Lara burst into the room, thrust the article in front of her parents and without hesitation demanded she accompany Von Croy on his expedition. In some ways Von Croy had become an inspirational figure for Lara.Īs Lara read further, she learned that Von Croy was currently preparing for an archaeological tour across Asia, culminating in a potential new discovery to be made in Cambodia. The experience had a profound effect on Lara, triggering a desire to travel to remote locations in search of adventure. A respected archaeologist, Von Croy had once lectured at Lara's school to pupils and parents alike. The front cover featured a familiar name - Professor Werner Von Croy. By chance one day Lara came across a copy of National Geographic on the hall table. An adventurous soul, Lara found the idea of being sent away from home an exciting prospect. Having attended Wimbledon High School for Girls from the age of 11 years, Lara's parents decided now that she was 16, she should broaden her education by studying for her A'levels at one of England's most prominent boarding schools. The daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, Lara was brought up in the secure world of aristocracy - wanting for nothing, she was surrounded by servants, social events, and high society. Her parents agreed and it was her first of many expeditions around the globe. Later in 1984, after finishing High School, young Lara requested to accompany renowned archaeologist Werner Von Croy, whom she had previously met when he'd lectured at her school, on an expedition to Cambodia, to search for the Iris. Sneaking aboard she accompanied him undetected to the Black Isle, where strange things were happening and the demon Verdilet, who was imprisoned between running water, which he - being a demon - could not cross, was trying to escape. One evening she overheard a talk between Father Bram Patrick Dunstan and Winston, and being intrigued, followed the Father to his boat. 1982, Lara went to stay with Winston and his wife in their small house in Connussie, off the coast of Ireland, for a while, while repairs were being carried out in Croft Manor.
