Talk:Lara Croft VS Nathan Drake/@comment-27109830-20170125195858



Blonde, middle-aged, and seemingly benevolent women who serve as prominent figureheads (or the main director in Lusamine's case) of large influential organizations dedicated to furthering the fields of scientific discovery and bettering the lives of others. Both of them are even revealed to be the mothers of several of the protagonists in the story in some form. (Lusamine was the birth mother of Lillie and Gladion, while Rachel personally adopted a good majority of the Blood Unit into the Magnolia Compass orphanage.) In reality, they have been maliciously manipulating the events of their games from behind the scenes. As such, they were more than willing to harm and puppet the children they once cared for in pursuit of their goals, while still retaining their childish/innocent demeanors as long as possible. This was despite being well aware that their actions would ultimately result in apocalyptic consequences for the rest of the world. To dig even further, the root of their evil actions seems to stem from a long lasting infection that has been flowing through their veins for years. Specifically, Lusamine has spent much of her career being infected by the toxins of a Nihilego while Rachel was implanted with an Aragami's bias factor in order to save her life as a child. (Although Rachel is admittedly much more malicious in comparison) In their final confrontations against the protagonists, both of them would even go on to mutate into grotesque creatures.
