Story

Main article: Larson Conway

Larson didn't have a surname or a biography in the original Tomb Raider and in Tomb Raider Chronicles. He is often depicted as a bit of a halfwitted man, which Pierre DuPont attributes to the fact that Larson was "kicked in the head by a horse" in some part of his life.[1]

In Tomb Raider Anniversary, Larson was given a surname, Conway, and an unlockable biography revealing details about his past life:

Larson is a former United States Marine Lieutenant with seven years Special Ops experience. He was given a dishonorable discharge after a violent disagreement with his commanding officer--the nature of which was never made public. Following his release from military prison, Larson put his military expertise to good use, forging an admirable reputation with private mercenary forces around the world. Recently he has taken a contract with Natla Technologies and that has brought him face to face with an old adversary from his past, Lara Croft.
Unlockable Biography[2]

Strategy

In Tomb Raider Larson is first encountered after exiting the Tomb of Qualopec. He can be defeated by just shooting at him, preferably from a safe spot since he can cause rather much damage. After shooting him for a while, a cutscene ,where Larson is knocked unconscious by Lara, starts. The second time Larson is encountered is the room with the last Scion piece in Sanctuary of the Scion. There he lurks behind pillars. There defeating him requires move moving and shooting, not letting him get behind Lara.

In Tomb Raider Chronicles Larson is encountered in Trajan's Markets. He is defeated rather quickly by just shooting at him.

In Tomb Raider Anniversary the two encounters with Larson (first in Peru - Tomb of Qualopec, then in Lost Island - Natla's Mines) are Interactive Cutscenes, so Larson isn't actually fought against by traditional means.
