| + | (was spam) |
| − | '''Larson Conway''' is a character making his appearances in the original [[Tomb Raider]], the remake [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] and [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]]. He did not have a surname in Tomb Raider and Chronicles yet, this was given to him for [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The name Larson, coupled with the character's blond hair, suggests Scandinavian heritage, although Larson himself speaks with a Texan accent. He is portrayed as being something of a halfwit, which [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" at some point in his life.

| − | ==Pre-Chronicles==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Larson was a former Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps, having served several years in Special Operations. His career as a Marine ended abruptly when he was dishonourably discharged after he had a violent disagreement with a commanding officer, the details of which were never made public. After serving time in a military prison, Larson used his military experience to good effect, serving as a freelance Private Military Contractor and gaining a favourable reputation across the globe.

| − | (Events occurred before 1996.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]], Larson appears in the first two levels of [[Rome]], the first story of the game. Larson is working with [[Pierre DuPont]] to gain possession of an artefact that [[Lara Croft|Lara]] is also in pursuit of. If they are working for private gain or if they are working for someone else is never stated.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Larson appears in the pre-story FMV, and also four cut scenes; two in [[Streets of Rome]] and two in [[Trajan's Markets]]. As well as this, Larson is included as an in-game enemy several times. Although [[Lara Croft|Lara]] has quite a few shots at killing him, Larson is finally finished off - at least for this game - after being tossed about by a dragon gargoyle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | He obviously survived this attack as he made his ''return'' in the original [[Tomb Raider]] where we met him for the first time but which was chronologically placed after the Rome events in the Tomb Raider time line.

| |
| − | (Events occurred in 1996.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Larson eventually accepted a contract with [[Jacqueline Natla]]'s company, Natla Technologies. After the initial meeting with [[Lara Croft|Lara]] in [[Calcutta]] at the start of the game, Larson appears in [[Tomb Of Qualopec]], both as an in-game enemy, and in the post-level cut scene. After a brief exchange between the two (concerning the [[Scion]] and the whereabouts of [[Pierre DuPont]]), Larson is knocked out by [[Lara Croft|Lara]] when he makes a grab for his gun.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Natla's Mines]] sees the third and final appearance of Larson. He is shot three times by Lara, because he tried to stop her from destroying Natla.

| − | He is one of the unlockable characters in [[Tomb Raider: Anniversary]].

| − | ==Outer Appearance==
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[Tomb Raider]], Larson wears a red shirt, blue jeans and brown boots. He also wears a unbuttoned brown vest in the first FMV. His weapon is a [[handgun]] with a [[lasersight]] attached.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[Chronicles]] Larson appears in the same outfit as he wore in the first Tomb Raider, including the vest. His weapon is a [[Revolver]]. Both Larson and [[Pierre DuPont|Pierre]] are portrayed as a lot more comical in their second Tomb Raider appearance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] he is wearing a dark-blue shirt instead of his red one we know from the other games. He does not use a handgun or revolver this time around, instead using a [[Shotgun]] and his bare hands.

| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * Larson was the first character ever to speak in a Tomb Raider game.
| |
| − | * For Tomb Raider Anniversary, Larson and the [[Cowboy]] were merged into one character.
