Brother Obscura was a Christian monk and the founder and first leader of the Lux Veritatis.
Biography[]
The Obscura Paintings[]
After the dark alchemist Pieter Van Eckhardt formed the Cabal and announced the organization's plans, Brother Obscura formed the Lux Veritatis to stop him. After a protracted battle, the Lux Veritatis prevailed and imprisoned the alchemist under their headquarters, Castle Kriegler. Subsequently, Obscura covered Eckhardt's paintings-each of which contained a part of the artefact known as the Sanglyph-with religious imagery, thus christening them as the Obscura Paintings. Shortly thereafter, he created the Obscura Engravings; these contained an encoded map leading to the location of the original paintings, which were hidden across Europe.
Death[]
When Obscura died, he was buried with one of the Obscura Paintings in The Hall of Seasons. His spirit inhabited the burial chamber and was watchful over the artifact.
Awakening[]
In 2003, Lara Croft found her way to Brother Obscura's tomb and roused his spirit. The spirit attempted to stop Croft from taking the Painting, but was unsuccessful.
