Himiko was described as the beautiful, enigmatic, ruthless Sun Queen who ruled Yamatai thousands of years ago with the support of her loyal army, The Stormguard. Little did Lara know that Queen Himiko actually succeded in pouring a small piece of her soul into Sam before Lara destroyed her body. She is the first and last queen of the ancient Japanese island kingdom of Yamatai, the very main focus as well as the object of devotion to Father Mathias and her worshippers, a violent cult of people on the Yamatai island known as the Solarii Brotherhood.Īfter killing Mathias, Lara stabs Himiko with a torch, destroying her before her soul could be transferred into Sam. While the exact formation of the Stormguards is entirely unknown, it is possible that. They served as the second and final antagonist faction in the game. They were a legion of skilled undead samurai who were sworn to serve and protect the Sun Queen of Yamatai, even after her soul was trapped in a decaying body. Himiko, also known as Queen Himiko, the Sun Queen and the Great Sun Queen, is the main antagonist of the 2013 videogame reboot Tomb Raider. The Stormguard (also known as Oni) were cursed enemies first seen in Tomb Raider.
