Ana

Ana (アナ, Ana), is both a fictional character and deuteragonist of the Uncharted Raider series created by Amy Hennig and Toby Gard. She was a senior agent of Trinity. She was the former lover of Lara Croft's late father Richard Croft.

She and her older brother Konstantin were raised by Trinity, though her loyalty to them is not strong as she is aware that as soon as she is no longer useful to them she is expendable.

"You're looking for a purpose, we could give it to you."

Personality
Ana portrays herself as a soft spoken and caring individual towards Lara, wanting what's best for her, and for her to not get mixed up in the work that consumed her father.

However, this is all a façade. Ana is a calculating individual who is an excellent manipulator, as she was able to manipulate her brother, who was a meek child into becoming a cold, apathetic killer who would stop at nothing to complete his mission, which he believed to be ordained by God.

Unlike Konstantin, Ana's faith in God is shaky, and she holds no illusions about being irreplaceable to Trinity. As time goes on she becomes more and more desperate to save herself.

But like her brother Ana is ruthless towards her subordinates, not caring for their lives and seeing their deaths as necessary sacrifices.

Despite all this, Ana did truly seem to care for Lara's well being, offering her a chance to join Trinity on multiple occasions. However she dropped any intention of keeping Lara safe after she was shot by her.

Family

 * Konstantin (brother; deceased)
 * Richard Croft (former lover; deceased)

Past
At some point during their youth, Ana cut Konstantin's hands with a knife while he slept, to represent stigmata. Konstantin believed that the marks appeared by God's will as a sign that he was his chosen warrior.

As an adult, Ana began working for Trinity, as an assassin, and spy.

Getting close to Lord Croft
Ana was tasked by Trinity High Council leader Pedro Dominguez with getting close to his old associate Lord Richard Croft, a formerly acclaimed archaeologist, whose research into the supernatural and the immortal soul was of interest to Trinity, in the hopes that he could be swayed from possibly exposing Dominguez's birthplace, the hidden city of Paititi, to the outside world.

Ana approached Croft at a conference he was speaking at. He was surprised to find her questions were "intelligent, almost innocent in their inquisitiveness."

After a while, Ana began a romantic relationship with Lord Croft, who later introduced her to his daughter, Lara on the suggestion of his butler, who thought Lara could do with a female role model, due to her tomboyish behavior.

After Lord Croft discovers Trinity are onto him, Pedro orders his execution. Ana is unable to perform the task herself, as she had fallen in love with Richard despite the foundation of their relationship being a lie. Pedro then orders someone else to commit the deed, and Pedro's death was staged to look like a suicide, his body soon discovered by Lara.

At some point after this, Ana is diagnosed with a terminal disease (presumably lung cancer.) This causes her to become desperate to find the Divine Source, however, Trinity cannot locate it and keep hitting dead ends. Ana realizes that the only chance she has is in Lord Croft's research, but Lara is the only one who would be able to decipher it.
