General Information
Current Statut : Dead
Like Zip, Alister is another of Lara Croft's right hand men. This character was introduced into the series in the 2006 game Tomb Raider Legend, and appeared again in 2008's Tomb Raider Underworld.
Legend Biography
Alister Fletcher is Lara's research assistant and a repository for a fantastic array of detailed historical information.
He confines his researches to libraries and museums, however, concentrating on understanding and explaining what has already been found, as opposed to Lara's search for new artifacts.
He's a 15th-year doctoral student at Oxford and hasn't received his doctorate because his belief that everything is connected to everything else makes it impossible for him to draw the boundaries required to finish his dissertation.
In the game, he mostly appears talking to Lara through her earpiece, doing the research necessary to inform Lara on the spot. He is squeamish at times, for example when Lara has to stand on a floating coffin in England or when she narrowly grabs onto a crumbling ice ledge. He can also be heard bickering constantly with Zip.
Further History
Alister appeared again in Underworld in a few cutscenes, and his part is drastically limited to that seen in Legend. He appears only to question Lara's search for her mother in ruins underneath the Mediterranean Sea, to make a comment about Natla's presence on board Amanda's ship and finally to die at the hands of Lara's Doppelganger.
