Biography[]
Natla was one of the members of the triumvirate ruling the lost continent of Atlantis. However, she was later condemned for her misuse of power and was imprisoned in a capsule by the other two rulers, Qualopec and Tihocan. After escaping from her prison in 1945 during a nuclear test in Los Alamos, New Mexico, she took on the name Jacqueline and founded her own company called Natla Technologies using her scientific expertise and cunning. In 1996 she hired adventurer Lara Croft to search for Qualopec's piece of the Atlantean Scion in his Tomb located in Peru. Shortly after finding the artifact, Lara was attacked by another adventurer Larson under orders by Natla. Knowing Natla had betrayed her, Lara went in search for the remaining two pieces in Greece and then Egypt. After obtaining the final piece, Lara was ambushed by Natla and her men. Stealing the now assembled artifact, Natla ordered Lara to be killed and left Egypt in her boat heading to Atlantis.
It is inside the Great Pyramid of Atlantis that Natla's grand scheme is revealed: to use the Scion's powers to breed a new race of mutant creatures. Realizing this, Lara made her best effort to destroy the Scion. Refusing to let her work be destroyed, Natla charged for Lara sending them both falling into a deep abyss. While Lara managed to grab a ledge, Natla continued to plummet into the lava pit below and was presumed dead. However, later on as Lara made her way through the now collapsing pyramid, she encountered Natla yet again, who was now sporting a bomb launcher and red wings similar to those of the Atlantean monsters she had encountered before. After apparently killing Natla, Lara escaped the pyramid as it was destroyed in a big explosion.
Time Ruling Atlantis[]
Many millions of years ago an advanced humanoid civilization visited the Earth and settled here. They were the Atlanteans and they established a cultural base on a great continent stretching from America to Australia, which they called Atlantis.
Atlantis was ruled by a triumvirate that consisted of two God-Kings and one God-Queen:
- Tihocan
- Qualopec
- Natla
The three rulers protected and used the knowledge of the Atlantean Scion - a device of unknown origin. Natla desired this power for herself, and launched an assault upon Tihocan and Qualopec. Her brother Qualopec was left paralyzed from the waist down, and a walking-frame device was constructed that allowed him to move around.
Tihocan, Qualopec and the armies of Atlantis were able to put a stop to Natla's coup, and for her crimes she was imprisoned for all eternity. Doomed to live forever in stasis, unable to move.
However, in the mid 20th Century, an explosion weakened Natla's prison and allowed her to escape. Over the next few decades she posed as a business woman.
She became the owner and CEO of Natla Technologies - one of the world's largest electronics companies. She was the holder of several key computer hardware patents, and her research and development department was one of the industries most secretive and prolific innovators.
Little was known about her private life during these years, other than she never gave interviews and rarely made public appearances. Colleagues and business rivals alike said she was an intimidatingly intelligent and demanding perfectionist.
