![]() ![]() Better the Devil You Know: His reason for helping Kerrigan against the UED is a combination of this and the Lesser of Two Evils.When put together with his several years of combat experience, Raynor is as much a formidable leader of men as a combatant in his own right, the latter of which is most ably demonstrated by him managing to single-handedly beat another battle-hardened veteran in seven-foot-tall Power Armor with no more than the clothes on his back and his bare hands. However, he more than makes up for this by the fact that he is a genuinely nice person, which not only attracts friends and followers, but also makes him one of the few humans to be respected by the Protoss as both a friend and an ally. Badass Normal: For a setting where troops in Power Armor are considered basic infantry and can be trained and outfitted for combat in a matter of minutes, Raynor's lack of psionic abilities or any other apparent enhancements makes him seem ridiculously average, especially since he is not particularly intelligent or well-educated.Atonement Detective: He became a marshal on Mar Sara as part of a deal to have his criminal record erased and be able to live a normal life.He instead joins Tassadar, and ultimately has a direct hand in the destruction of the Overmind. He encounters Infested Kerrigan, and despite his pleas, she won't come back to the good side. Mengsk sacrifices Kerrigan to the Zerg and Raynor finally leaves. Raynor realizes the mistake he's made too late: Mengsk is a power-hungry madman who cares only for his own gain even revenge for his slain parents doesn't particularly matter to him. After being rescued by Arcturus Mengsk, he joined the Sons of Korhal, helping his new leader to destroy the Confederacy while it was occupied with the Zerg and Protoss, seduce Edmund Duke to their side, and be on the side of justice. He was a marshall on a backwater planet where he was forced to destroy the Confederate outpost (called, appropriately enough, Backwater Station) after it got Zerg-infested, earning the ire of Edmund Duke and a stay in prison. The closest thing Starcraft has to a central protagonist, Jim Raynor is the first named character in the series. ![]()
