^ There is another way to reconcile Lara's and Larson's relation going from TRC to TR1.
- From Larson's POV, Natla wants him to recruit Lara to find the Scion piece for her. She can't really do that if Lara's dead. From Lara's POV, they're in a hotel. Presumably Lara didn't want to start a gunfight in the middle of a potentially public place unless she had to. |

A funny note: on the Italian version Larson says he will buy an Ice Cream for Pierre instead of a milkshake xD

A thread about Larson and Pierre and no one called me? The nerve.
I've headcanoned it as strawberry. Anyone else have an idea? I imagine Pierre is a chocolate-loving man. Quote:

At any rate, the simplest explanation is that Lara probably just didn't fatally shoot Larson and Pierre in Tomb of Qualopec and Tomb of Tihocan, respectively. P.S., If anyone wants to discuss Pierrson (The portmanteau of the Pierre x Larson ship as coined by the lovely Voxsound) in this thread, please feel free to x |

For my final thought, to settle the deal with Pierre and Larson, its safe to say they had an encounter with Lara even before TRC due to rivals usually having similar interests which tends to lead to unfortunate encounters and if you combine the ideas of TR1 and TRA together, they made it quite clear that Pierre and Larson meet their demise with Pierre being crushed with his neck snapped by Centuars and Larson being shot by Lara and then The Lost Island crumbling down on him would have finished him if he had any life left as it was.

I was really shocked that Lara left Pierre with his fate after he actually saved her. That was ridiculously cruel and needless from her side.
And about inconsistent timelines... well, I think that the Black Isle was after Cambodia. Lara seems very much prepared to that adventure, and Von Croy's lessons would make sense. I don't care that much to be honest. Last edited by A_De; 23-12-18 at 07:23. |

The correct order of events would be:
Cambodia Ireland Rome TR1 TR2 VCI TR3 Russian Base TR4 AOD |

As for Pierre and Larson returning, I just assume that Natla was already monitoring Lara as a candidate to find the scion for her. After Rome, she recovered the injured/dead Larson and Pierre and used Atlantean technology to heal/reanimate them and send them after Lara, again. |

Hmm... that would explain why Pierre is so confident about his position. He's working for the ceo of a massively powerful tech giant. He's cautious with Lara, but he always seems to believe that he will win. It also provides a deeper backstory that Natla had been following Lara's career for at least a year before contacting her about the Tomb of Qualopec.
The guns he uses in Chronicles are Natla Technology Magnums after all. It could be just Core reusing assets, but they did update his model quite a bit for TR5. |

Personally I think Natla might have considered using Lara only after the encounter in TR5. Maybe earlier P&L were working for Natla to get other artifacts so she could use them in her projects/experiments/whatever her corporation was working atm. But since Lara happened and the stone was taken, she decided that Lara was a better candidate to retrieve the Scion.
