Ranger (Quake)

Ranger (also known as Quake Ranger or sometimes called Quake Guy) is a main protagonist and playable character who originally appeared in the first installment of Quake series, including Quake 3 Arena as his extra appearance. His main goal is to defeat Shub-Niggurath and her minions of monsters in the world of darkness.

Background
He appears to be a very muscular man wearing an advanced suit of brown and yellow armor. He can often be seen having a sadistic grin whilst performing whatever goals he has. His goals often involve talking little and killing everything he comes across.

Quake
Ranger is a marine in the special forces. Around the time of the Operation Counter-strike, he is one of the many marines sent to defeat the enemy leader, -"Quake". All marines sent through were killed, except for Ranger. Ranger then travels through 4 different dimensions, each more hellish than the last, to collect 4 magic Runes that when combined, will open the gate to the lair of Quake. In the second dimension, Ranger learns that Quake, is actually Shub-Niggurath, the evil mother of all creatures from Lovecraft myth.

After collecting all 4 runes, a large hole in the main dimension select room leads to Shub-Niggurath. Ranger can not kill it with normal weapons, and must fight through many of its minions before finding a Teleporter that will send him to Shub-Niggurath's platform. He spawns inside the beast, and the sudden take up of space causes her to explode, leaving Ranger to be victorious. However, sometime after this and the events of Quake expansion sets (Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity), he is captured and put in the Arena Eternal.

Quake III Arena
Ranger returns as a playable character in the third installment. He looks exactly the same as in the original game, besides improvements of graphics. His bot favors are the Rocket Launcher, Plasma Gun, and Lightning Gun.
