Jonah Maiava is one of the characters in Tomb Raider (2013).

Life

Before Endurance

As a young man, he traveled back to his home country to serve in the army. His strength and almost preternatural ability to detect danger made him a popular member of his unit. And his ability to prepare and cook almost anything didn't hurt either. After sustaining injuries in the line of duty, Jonah was honorably discharged and went to work as a chef in his sister's café in Ngapuhi.

Becoming Part of the Crew

When Conrad Roth was visiting New Zealand, he was impressed by Jonah's strenght and later his cookings, and Roth offered Jonah a place on the Endurance.[2]

Family and Friends

Jonah was raised in Hawaii by his maternal grandmother.[3] His father was abusive when he was a little child, and whenever his father became enraged Jonah hid with his brother. It's implied that Jonah's brother is deceased, as Jonah "will swim away and join my brother in the waves" if he's left the last one standing on Yamatai.[4]

Alex Weiss is Jonah's good friend, as Jonah gives Alex a hug when he arrives to seek sanctuary from the Endurance. Jonah is also encouraging Roth to let Alex in on the expedition.[5]

Jonah was born in New Zealand, but raised in Hawaii by his maternal grandmother. As a young man, he traveled back to his home country to serve in the army. His strength and almost preternatural ability to detect danger made him a popular member of his unit. And his ability to prepare and cook almost anything didn't hurt either.

After sustaining injuries in the line of duty, Jonah was honorably discharged and went to work as a chef in his sister's café in Ngapuhi. While in New Zealand, Roth encountered Jonah dockside carrying four crates of seafood at once. Impressed by his strength (and later his cooking), Roth offered him a place on the Endurance.
