- For Lara's father in other continuities, see Lord Croft disambiguation page.
Lord Henshingly Croft[1] was a wealthy British aristocrat, husband of Lady Croft and father of Lara. He formed a bond with Winston while visiting Ireland after the latter organized a pheasant-shooting excursion, inviting him to resign his job as a laird's gamekeeper and become his butler, an offer that he accepted.[2] Lord Croft was also acquainted with Mr. Von Croy, through whom he met his son, Werner.[3]
Lord Croft supplied Von Croy with the finances for an expedition to Cambodia with the condition that his daughter was permitted to travel with them.[4] After a plane crash years later, Lara became an adventurer, refusing to marry the Earl of Farringdon as Lord and Lady Croft had hoped. For this, the Crofts disowned her.[5] Despite their differences, Lord and Lady Croft mourned at Lara's memorial after her presumed death in Egypt.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
