The Characters


While my custom projects will still be linked to the original Tomb Raider games fictional 'universe' and background, they will now take place during the 1920s/ 30s. This being the case, all of my future levels are going to feature a new character called Melissa Goldfeld. Here is some information about her and some the other new characters. More will be added later as my project proceeds.

Melissa Goldfeld



Our new heroine is an American agent working for a special unit that was set up by President Theodore Roosevelt to investigate ancient mythology and the paranormal. A former circus performer, she was recruited for her agility and excellent ballistic skills which make her an invaluable field agent. Although not an academic she is tenacious and a keen learner.

Colonel Arthur Hamilton Graves



Inspired by the early protagonist of the original tomb raider before being replaced by Jacqueline Natla. Arthur Hamilton Graves is a former colonel in the British army who is now a mercenary and adventurer. Like Melissa, he is a member of the agency although his motives for joining remain a mystery. He is known as a strict authoritarian and staunch capitalist who expects the best from the other agents who work under him.

The Great Zorono



An ominous figure from New Orleans who is shrouded in mystery. He appears to be an Entertainer and Magician with an entourage of followers. His true identity is unknown for he always wears a comical mask. Many suspect him to be the leader of a sinister cult in the Deep South. Those that dare to oppose him do not last long and quickly 'disappear'.
