现在标准的说法均来自2016年对 Murti Schofield（6代情节设计者）的采访，链接在此 (https://www.tomb-of-ash.com/murti-schofield-writing-the-angel-of-darkness/)。原话是这样的：
引用提问：What's the history between Lara and Karel? They never met in the game yet Lara acts like she knows him when she first meets him in the final scene.
回答：In 1300s Eckhardt makes his first contact with the Nephilim and tries to kill off the original Cabal so he remains the only one. Incidentally one of the original members of the Cabal at that period was a character called Régis Limoux, which was one of Karel's identities. Anyway when Lara first arrives in Prague she sees Karel's photo in Luddick's folder with dossiers on the Mafia/Cabal members [in the cutscene you can't see Karel's photograph]. She recognises him from that.
意思就是：劳拉刚到布拉格时，她从记者的资料里看到过 Karel 的照片。
