"Lauren is fierce, loyal and technically capable, but is best known for her incredible reflexes. Born into a poor asteroid miner family, she became notorious by stealthily eradicating her parents' competitors in space before becoming a full time Tournament warrior. Lauren currently leads the Axon sponsored Iron Guard team. She is a well-respected superstar, but is tough and no nonsense in her approach."

– UT3 manual

Lauren is a human Tournament competitor. Lauren has appeared in multiple Unreal games.

Bio

Lauren was born from a poor asteroid miner family. In her youth she eradicated her parents competitors and learned the skills to become a Tournament competitor. Lauren won one of the tournaments and became champion, although it is unknown exactly when this happened.

Lauren was said to be the lover of Jihan Nyhn, a powerful arms smuggler. Jihan was assassinated, and Lauren expected the Liandri Mining Corporation to be behind it. Hoping to uncover the truth, she joined the Iron Guard, Jihan's team of personal bodyguards who entered Liandri's Tournament after the assassination. (UT).

In Unreal Tournament 2003, she is one of the elite combatants. Lauren is featured in Unreal Championship's opening video as part of a team with Malcolm and Brock.

Lauren was the girlfriend of team member Brock, though different sources give different explanations to how they met. It is possible she met Brock after losing Jihan Nyhn and joining the Iron Guard. Another source claims Lauren and Brock were high-school sweethearts (UT2003, UT2004).

During 2302's Tournament (UT2003), Brock fought alongside Tournament champion Malcolm and gained much respect for him. After Malcolm was defeated by the Juggernaut Gorge, Brock foolishly tried to avenge Malcolm by ambushing Gorge. Gorge quickly reacted and killed Brock. Wrought with grief, Lauren took her own life on Asteroid 35332-XA.

After her death, the Liandri Mining Corporation paid the Phayder Corporation a huge amount of money to have Lauren resurrected as Necris, effectively turning her into Liandri property. The process caused her to remain only marginally sane. Brock was also resurrected, but he lost all memories of his previous life. Brock and Lauren didn't get back together.

As a Necris, she has fought in the 523rd Nakhti Ascension Rites, armed with her new signature weapon, the Necris Swords (UC2).

Lauren later participated in a guerrilla war in 2307, and although it was thought impossible, somehow, she was clearly a normal Human once again, and no longer a Necris. The circumstances surrounding her rejuvenation are unknown. (UT3)
