When Lara Croft helps local man Hakan track down his missing companion A'aron, she expects a straightforward search. What she gets is a deal with a cult: retrieve the Godslayer bow, and they will release Hakan. A'aron manages to free Hakan during the exchange, but the escape goes badly—Hakan is wounded crossing a bridge that he and Lara cut behind them. In the time he has left, he tells Lara the truth: he needed the Godslayer to kill Amaru, the man who turned Atzi against her family and forced Hakan to become her killer. He had made arrangements for his daughter Kayara. He gives Lara the bow and asks her to use it if she ever gets the chance. Then he is gone.
