Mark Willard
Dr. Mark Willard is a character of Scottish decent, whom Lara meets in India (Tomb Raider III). She meets him on a boat on the Ganges, after taking the Infada Stone from Tony, in the Caves of Kaliya. After explaining the story involving the HMS Beagle, he tells her that there are more artefact like the Infada stone, the Meteorite Artefacts. He hires Lara to retrieve them in the South Pacific, in London and in Nevada.
Willard owns a company called RX-Tech, presumably a drilling and mining company. It was him who found the grave of Paul Caulfield, the sailor who died from the HMS Beagle. RX-Tech have uncovered the Lost City of Tinnos and the Meteorite Cavern. Willard and RX-Tech had to mine underneath the ground since the cave which the sailors had entered the cavern, was collapsed.
When Lara meets Willard at his base in Antarctica, to hand him the artefacts, he reveals to her their true powers and that of the Meteorite. Lara disagrees with his intentions but he attempts to shoot her and escapes with the artefacts into the RX-Tech Mines. Lara can follow him, but he has disappeard from sight. She meets him again by the impact crater in the Meteorite Cavern. Willard throws himself into the crater and emerges as Willard Mutant.
From a Radio speech at the opening of Tomb Raider III he is refered to as Mark, hence several references to Dr. Mark Willard
