Natla

Natla, also known as Jacqueline Natla, was an Atlan, and one of the former rulers of Atlantis. She was one of a Triumvirate of rulers -- alongside Tihocan and Qualopec. Natla viewed the peaceful Atlanteans as weak, believing them to have evolutionarily stalled. To correct this, she began using the power of the Atlantean Scion to create an army of mutants -- who she would have attack Atlantis, so only the strongest Atlanteans would survive. Qualopec and Tihocan stood against her, and were ultimately successful in preventing her plans from coming to fruition. They locked her away and froze her in cryostasis beneath the deserts of what would one day be New Mexico.

And there she remained until July 16, 1945 CE. A test of a bomb broke open her prison, allowing her to escape. She spent decades crafting a persona and adapting to the world. She became Jacqueline Natla, and founded Natla Technologies. She began attempting to discover the locations of the pieces of the Atlantean Scion -- intent to complete her scheme from before her imprisonment and take over the world. To that end, she hired Lara Croft to procure the item from the lost city of Vilcabamba in Peru.

Although Natla planned to have Lara killed after procuring just that one piece, Lara was unpredictably good at surviving. She collected both other pieces of the Scion, and Natla ambushed her -- taking the completed artifact and leaving Lara for dead. Lara, however, was not dead and followed Natla to the small Mediterranean island where she had activated the Scion. Lara confronted Natla, ultimately defeating her, and leaving her for dead as the ruins of Atlantis were destroyed.
