From the Games

Tomb Raider Legend

In Tomb Raider Legend, Richard Croft is the name of Lara's father as opposed to Henshingly Croft as it was in the previous games.

He was an archaeologist, and traveled all over the world. From what Winston says, we are inclined to believe that he had quite a collection of artefacts. After the death of his wife, Lady Amelia Croft, he traveled all over the world with Lara investigating archaeological sites and ruins in search for a stone dais, similar to the one that had killed her. During this time, he raised and taught Lara alone. However, he disappeared and was declared legally dead, although his remains have never been found. Even Lara unearthed human remains that could not be identified as his.
