Chase Carver is a treasure hunter and former love interest of Lara Croft. He likes to leave behind a Calling Card whenever he has been somewhere on his treasure hunts.
Lara describes him as "the most irresponsible, irascible, egoistical man ever to walk the earth". She also regards him as the only person remotely equal to her when it comes to finding the unfindable.
Life
Relationship with Lara
During their relationship they travelled to Jamaica, where they had a midnight swim in the hotel pool Chase likes to refer to.
Monaco
He has played with Lara and with her money and has partnered with her on various adventures.
The two had been in Monaco together, to have some fun and then set out to find a sunken Galleon. In the evening Chase spent some time in the Casino, even after Lara had gone to bed. The next morning he did not appear at the appointed time.
Lara was furious and guessed that another woman was the reason for it. A little later than thought she arrived at the sunken ship and dived down alone. She knew of a secret chamber under the main hold of the ship, but when finding it a bad surprise awaited her. The treasure was gone and she found Chase's calling card. She found him in the Casino with his new girl Celeste. Chase eventually helped Lara find the Medusa Mask and defeat Hartford Compton. Chase is similar in characterisation to Alex West from the first Tomb Raider film.
Death
Chase is killed in the Tomb Raider Comic Issue #14, when he and Lara were in a tomb in Honduras searching for a treasure left by Christopher Columbus.
In Issue 40 he makes a surprising return.
