Zip is an old friend of Lara's. He is a computer specialist and helped her getting into the Von Croy Skyscraper in New York in Tomb Raider Chronicles. He returns in Tomb Raider Legend, where he supports Lara from home, via her headset. He often gives her hints, making the game easier for the player, which was a major complaint by the more advanced gamers. He works with Alister Fletcher. In Tomb Raider Underworld he returns yet again, but here he has a hidden agenda.
He should not be confused with Bryce, who plays a similar role in the Movies.

Tomb Raider Chronicles
In Tomb Raider Chronicles, Zip appears in the final three levels while Lara is infiltrating Von Croy's VCI headquarters. He provides hints and tips as to where Lara should go, he is mostly only heard via the headset Lara wears, but is seen a couple of times in the van outside the VCI building
Tomb Raider Legend
Description from the official site
Zip is the tech guy of Lara's team, responsible for providing technical and logistical support for Lara's endeavors worldwide - he's the guy in the van or the server room at Lara's Mansion, and Lara's constant remote companion via radio headset. A wisecracking guy who's part ultra-techno-geek and part street savvy. He used to be over the top, but a few years in prison toned him down a notch and increased his resentment towards all things establishment. A former computer hacker, he works with Lara for the challenge and the thrill of it. He's personally loyal to Lara, and it really is the most fun he can have without getting arrested. [1]
Zip is also a culinary enthusiast and has worked in some of the best kitchens in Eastern Europe.Template:Citation needed
Tomb Raider Underworld
Zip will be returning in Tomb Raider Underworld as one of the characters.
After assisting Lara in the Mediterranean and Thailand, alongside Alister, as usual, events in the Croft Manor, in the third part of the game, will take a surprising turn.
Zip and Winston are seen trying to open a door inside the burning Manor. When Lara arrives at the scene, Zip deliberately shoots at Lara, while telling Winston to get down. The butler tries to stop Zip, to which he replies "Get off me!" and continues to shoot at Lara.[2] In return, she dives out of the way and pulls out her guns, aiming at Zip, to which she exclaims "Drop it Zip, or I'll drop you!".[3]
The reason for Zips attitude remains unknown, but several logical theories have surfaced in various locations on the Internet. One theory is that Zip might be a double agent, or that he thinks Lara the enemy, probably in form of a doubleganger (for example an Atlantean copy of the newest generation).
