Christopher Lamb, born Lörink Szilasi, is the shadowy and mysterious director of Bureau 713. He appears as a minor antagonist in Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.

Background

Christopher Lamb was born in 1938, in Kassa, Hungary. His real name is Lörinc Szilasi. Lamb's father, Ferenc Szilasi was one of the founders of a Hungarian fascist group, the Arrow Cross. After his father was executed for war crimes in 1948, his family emigrated to the United States with a new name.

Thanks to a powerful network that included many his father's old friends, Lamb quickly rose through the ranks of a number of para-governmental agencies spe­cializing in the fight against communism. Lamb was left with limited mobility in his neck after a left-wing terrorist attack. In 1971, he became director of the highly secret Bureau 713. The Bureau was involved in a number of questionable opera­tions "Black Ops" missions on American soil and in a number of "friendly" countries. Surrounding himself with a personal guard of ultra-nationalist militants, Lamb became a veritable state within a state. He was untouchable. The congressmen who called for the closure of Bureau 713 gave up their efforts after threats were made on them and their families.

Involvement

He ordered his underling, Frederick Johnson, to find a way to get both Aline Cedrac and Edward Carnby to Shadow Island. He met Obed Morton and promised him unlimited funding because Obed Morton boosted that he could access Shadow Island’s secrets. Christopher Lamb then wouldn’t leave him alone and pressured him to return to Shadow Island to conduct experiments for him. He also provided human experiments to Alan Morton and Obed Morton for their research. Charles Fiske also used to work for him.

At some point, Obed contacts Lamb, and begs him, after having send several important documents, to rescue him from Shadow Island. Lamb instead, slightly irritated by the Morton's aggressive request, declares he has the informations he wanted, so the Morton are useful to him, letting Obed to face Alan, furious to Obed for having sold the results of his experiments. During their investigation, both Carnby and Aline find out the evidence of connection between Lamb and the Morton, and Edwards starts to suspect Lamb and Johnson are the true resposonsible for Fiske's death. When Carnby is in the World of Darkness, he is contacted by Johnson, who says he suspects Lamb killed Fiske when the latter was discovering too much about Lamb's contacts with Morton Family. Johnson also reveals he infiltrated Lamb's organization to discover his true intentions, and that, thanks to the Morton's researchs, he knows the location of several gates to the World of Darkness across the world, and how to open them, but he never discovered what Lamb has really in his mind.

Trivia

• It's implied Lamb was supposed to be the main antagonist of the new trilogy of Alone in the Dark, as he is the one who encourage the Morton in their research, and, at the end of the game, he discovered how to opened the gates to the World of the Darkness, and where they are, but the project was ultimately scrapped. Nevertheless, Crowley, from Alone in the Dark (2008), has several traits in common with Lamb.
