 Jacqueline Natla returns in [[Tomb Raider Underworld]], held prisoner in a glass tube on a freighter ship by [[Amanda Evert]]. Early in the game she tells Lara about [[Helheim]] and [[Avalon]] being one and the same and informs Lara that she needs Thor's relics to gain access. After visiting [[Jan Mayen Island]] to retrieve [[Thor's Hammer]], Lara sets off to the Andaman Sea on the coast of [[Thailand]] to find Amanda's ship again. Lara confronts and threatens to kill Natla, but is stopped when Natla explains that a ritual is also needed to open the gates of [[Helheim]]; a ritual that only Natla knows. Realising she has no choice if she wants to enter Helheim and find her mother, Lara then smashes the capsule open, allowing Natla to escape. After arriving at Avalon, Natla reveals that she was manipulating Lara to reach an ancient device called the [[Jörmungandr|Midgard Serpent]] to bring about the [[Seventh Age]]. She also claims that she killed [[Richard Croft|Lara's father]] in [[Thailand]] after he betrayed her. Lara manages to destroy the Midgard Serpent, and then knocks Natla into the [[Eitr]] surrounding the device by throwing Thor's Hammer at her.
-{{Quote|[[Journal (TRU)|Lara's journal]] <ref>Tomb Raider Underworld, Journal</ref>|
+{{Quote|[[Journal (TRU)|Lara's journal]] <ref>Tomb Raider Underworld, Journal</ref>|Natla was the Immortal Queen of [[Atlantis]], and more recently CEO of [[Natla Technologies]]. Somehow she lost her connection with the powerful artifacts of her reign millenia ago, and recently began devoting her knowledge and intellect toward recovering it all from ancient sites around the world. Her aim is to initiate what she calls [[The Seventh Age]], of which I know nothing other than that it would be a very bad turn for humanity. I buried her on a remote island, but apparently Amanda has dug her out and is keeping her prisoner as her own personal Encyclopaedia Atlantica. I hope Amanda understands that she's sitting on a time bomb, and that everything Natla tells her is filtered by her own agenda.}}

 * The Aramaic word "natla" (נטלא) means "the vessel used for washing hands". Another possible etymology of "natla" says it derives from "נטל " and should be viewed literally as "that which is lifted" or "that which is taken". <ref>S. Fränkel, "Aramäische Fremdwörter im Arabischen," p. 65, and On Semitic Words in Greek and Latin W. Muss-Arnolt Transactions of the American Philological Association Vol. 23, (1892), pp. 35-156</ref>
-* There are some similarities between Natla and Ayesha, immortal anti-heroine of Rider Haggard's novel ''She''. <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She_(novel)</ref> To quote [http://www.wikipedia.com Wikipedia]; ''"In the original novel, Ayesha is to a great extent selfish and amoral, caring very little for the feelings or even the lives of others so long as she gets what she wants. However, it is evident that, in the course of writing the novel, Haggard moved away from a purer conception of feminine evil. Indeed, one sees the process of transition fossilized in this sentence from the chapter entitled “Ayesha Unveils” - "I have heard of the beauty of celestial beings, now I saw it; only this beauty, with all its awful loveliness and purity, was evil — at least, at the time, it struck me as evil."''
