Personality

As boss, Roth took everything from his idol, Ernest Shackleton. He cares a lot about his crew members, and prides himself on knowing instinctively who will be a good crew member. He is a very practical leader, always trying to cheer up his teammates when they are down, having fun and joking being optimistic and realistic, especially with Lara. At times he seems to be numb, he seems to show nothing for his dead comrades, though this is due to the fact that he doesn't want her emotional attachment to him to cloud his judgment.

Roth also calls himself married to the sea, he would like to retire on a large yacht and sail where the wind takes him for the rest of his days. If Lara is right about Yamatai and the meaning of her, hopefully this will be his last work.

Biography

Background

Roth was born in 1961 in South Yorkshire. Not much is known about his childhood, but it appears that he had a working class upbringing and joined the Royal Marine Corps (RM). After that he developed several skills as a freelance wreck diver and treasure hunter, along with his trusted friend and former merchant marine, Grim, and together they got a ship and called it the Endurance. Roth thus traveled the world thus earning a great reputation and to find great valuables.

After Amelia's death, Roth helped Croft recover her body. Against his better judgment, he helped as Croft attempted a ritual he believed would resurrect his late wife. He became paranoid about his research and asked Roth to hire a team of builders to build a secret laboratory to carry out his research in secret.

Tomb Raider

Roth in the mission with Lara Croft and Sam Nishimura in the Dragon's triangle, where there is a shipwreck and the whole crew ends up on the island they were looking for. Roth manages to contact a scared Lara and tells her to come to him and when Lara is found she helps Roth with her injuries and Roth encourages her to be the way she is in what she does.

After several jobs that the game makes the player face, Lara and Roth who are on a plane arrived and crashed due to explosions. Lara is seriously damaged and Roth, protecting her from enemy attacks, manages to save her, but is fatally hit in the back with an axe. Lara begins to cry as Roth collapses. He apologizes for leaving her, assuring her that she will be fine without him, giving her guns to help her fight for survival, before she finally dies. Lara cradles him and mourns the loss of her mentor. When her group joins her, Reyes gets mad at Lara that Roth is gone, but Sam calms her down. As suggested by Johan, they give Roth a warrior's funeral. A funeral pyre is prepared and Roth's body is burned.

Lara and Jonah later reminisce about Roth during their trip to Peru.
