Jim Raynor

James Eugene "Jim" Raynor is a former terran marshal turned rebel, who has became one of the main protagonists in Blizzard Entertainment's science fiction Starcraft series, most notably Starcraft II. This character is voiced by Robert Clotworthy. Jim is the leader of Raynor's Raiders which is trying to take down the Terran Dominions emperor ever since Arcturus Mengsk abandoned Kerrigan to the zerg.

Appearance
Jim Raynor is a former colonial marshal on the backwater planet of Mar Sara, he joins Arcturus Mengsk's revolutionaries in their fight against the tyrannical and corrupt Confederacy of Man, where he develops a relationship with Sarah Kerrigan, Mengsk's second in command. However, he quickly comes to realise that Mengsk is far from the force for good when he abandons Kerrigan and the entire population of a planet to die by the hand of the Zerg to satisfy his own thirst for power. Disillusioned and embittered, Raynor forms his own rebel movement to oppose Mengsk's new imperial Terran Dominion.

Four years later, Raynor's rebel movement is contracted by the Moebius Foundation to recover pieces of a Xel'Naga artifact which is ultimately used on Char by a combined Raynor's Raiders and Terran Dominion expeditionary force to deinfest the Queen of Blades, restoring Sara Kerrigan's humanity. After her deinfestation Kerrigan is relentlessly pursued by Arcturus Mengsk; during one such raid Arcturus's Dominion forces capture and allegedly summarily execute the rebel commander. It is later revealed that Raynor was not in fact executed, but held prisoner as a hostage to keep Kerrigan in line. After being freed from his prison Raynor assists Kerrigan as she storms the Dominion capital of Augustgrad on the planet Korhal. After a showdown with Arcturus Mengsk inside his Palace, Kerrigan manages to gain the upper hand with help from James Raynor, and kills Acturus by overloading his body with psychic energy, causing him to explode spectacularly.
