* TheJeeves

to:

* TheJeevesTheJeeves: He's a butler, of course, and one who was devoted to Lara's father, and to Lara after his death. It is also heavily implied that he cared for (and often put up with the antics of) a young Lara more than her father did due to the latter's often neglecting family in favor of his archaeological pursuits.

The main antagonists in this game. An ancient order of fundamentalist religious zealots who deem Earth in it's current state as too corrupt and trying to "cleanse it" so that they may re-make it as they see fit.

The main antagonists in this game. An To the world at large (or at least to those aware of them) they appear to be just another secretive but well-funded and well-supplied mercenary outfit, with a long reach and few scruples to hold them back. In reality, however, they are an ancient order of fundamentalist religious zealots who deem Earth in it's current state as too corrupt and trying to "cleanse it" so that they may re-make it as they see fit.

* VillainousRespect: Downplayed, while clearly outraged at the idea of losing to her in a fight, his boss fight does have him admit he sees Lara is a [[WorthyOpponent challenging foe]] and even goes as far to say he thinks Lara is actually a better archeologist than even her father.

* SheWhoMustNotBeSeen: She flies the helicopter in the Cold Darkness Awakened DLC. Unlike Nadia, who has lines throughout the whole mission and appears at the end, Sofia is never seen or heard.



* CoOpMultiplayer: In Endurance Mode, if playing in Co-op mode, while the player will always see themselves as Lara, they will see the second player as Nadia instead... Assuming the other player did not up and use a card that changes Lara's outfit. If so, Nadia is absent, instead replaced by a clone of Lara wearing the outfit the card gave. Clones aside, this alongside the different color glow stick is likely for player identification, as the two characters are the same gameplay wise.
