Lord Richard Croft is the father of Lara Croft.

Life

Friendship with Conrad Roth

Lord Croft befriended Conrad Roth and for several years, Roth accompanied Richard Croft on over a dozen treasure-hunting expeditions, acting as a guide and, when necessary, bodyguard.

Disappearance

Lord Richard Croft, along with his wife, has disappeared during an expedition.[1]

Characterization

Lara's father, archaeologist Richard Croft, used to spend more time chasing dreams than facts and he was interested in supernatural and mysterious things - things that can't be always explained rationally.[2][3] He was often doubted by people because of this.[4] Richard Croft is described as a man, who "was smarter, wiser and stronger" than anyone Conrad Roth knew.[5]
