Pieter Van Eckhardt is a genius from the 14th century. He is also known as the "black alchemist".


The Periapt Shards are the only thing that can harm or weaken Eckhardt. The Lux Veritatis - Kurtis' Order - used all three Shards to keep Eckhardt locked away for 500 years. In 1945 something happened that released the Black Alchemist from the pit.


Since then he has been trying to resurrect an ancient race, the Nephilim.

Eckhard is searching for the five Obscura Paintings, he will need for his undertaking. He has hired Werner Von Croy to get these paintings for him.


In revenge for 500 years of pain, I swore an oath of malice against my Lux Veritatis jailors. Over the decades I hunted them down. None escaped. And all tasted the agony I had endured in the pit. But the cursed Shards they had used to bind me vanished beyond my reach. I must own them and render them safe. Wherever they lie, I will have the Shards, as well as the Obscura Paintings. Never again will mortals be armed against me and my sacred quest. Nothing will stop me closing on the last Obscura Painting. Lara Croft is a minor distraction. Nothing more. And as for the Lux Veritatis whelp dogging my steps, what can he achieve acting alone, like a single maggot on a corpse.

To revive the sleeper Eckhardt needs body parts from the victims he killed. With his Glove, he harvests those essences necessary for the Sleeper's awakening.

The Black Alchemist, Eckhardt, made a pact with the Nephilim in ancient Turkey. In return for using his alchemic skills to help the Nephilim he would live forever.
