Jonah Maiava is a loyal and dependable character from the Tomb Raider video game series, particularly prominent in the reboot trilogy alongside Lara Croft. He’s originally from New Zealand and has cultural roots in Polynesia, which influence both his worldview and demeanor.
Thick, tall, broad-shouldered, and strong—his frame suggests physical power and resilience more than athletic finesse. He’s not a stereotypical action hero; instead, his warmth, quiet strength, and emotional intelligence make him stand out. He often serves as Lara’s anchor—calm, steady, and caring in contrast to her driven, often reckless nature. His survival skills, culinary talents, and sense of humor round out a personality that’s both grounded and genuinely kind.
Driven by an innocent heart and fierce loyalty to Lara, he walks into shadows he can’t comprehend, where ancient, perverted forces strike without mercy. The protector becomes the prey, overwhelmed and broken by relentless, writhing terrors that twist his body and spirit.
This collection lays bare the brutal contrast of his powerful form and shattered innocence, trapped in a nightmare he cannot escape, all for the woman he’s sworn to protect.
