Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft is set to premiere on Netflix on October 10.

Set after the events of the Survivor Trilogy, catch up on where the journey all began: aboard the Endurance, Lara’s first adventure with some of her closest friends.

Jonah Maiava

A loyal friend and dependable crewmate, Jonah Maiava’s a man you want at your side when you’re exploring the world’s darkest reaches. But Jonah is also a moral compass for Lara, constantly reminding her of who she is and what she knows is right.

Conrad Roth

The Endurance’s captain, Conrad Roth was a close friend of Lara’s parents, so dear that he was trusted with raising her after their deaths. An explorer and adventurer himself, Roth’s guidance and wisdom were key parts of making a young Lara who she grew up to become.

Lara’s first adventure was aboard the Endurance, serving on Roth’s crew as part of James Whitman’s expedition to find the lost island of Yamatai… but that discovery came at a terrible price.

Samantha Nishimura

Lara’s best friend since university, Samantha (Sam) Nishimura was someone who could bring Lara out of her shell to enjoy life as a young woman.

Sam worked as the Endurance’s camera person, but her family’s wealth also funded the expedition. Sam discovers a different kind of family connection on Yamatai, learning that she’s a descendant of the fabled Queen Himiko…and that her ancestor still cursed the island in undeath.
