Hyperion

James "Jim" Eugene Raynor is a fictional character in Blizzard Entertainment's science fiction StarCraft series. A Terran in his thirties, Raynor is a former soldier and outlaw who eventually becomes a marshal in a backwater colony world. A prominent character in the science fiction real-time strategy video games StarCraft and Brood War, Raynor joins Arcturus Mengsk's revolution against the oppressive Terran Confederacy but becomes disillusioned with Mengsk's genocidal tactics, forming his own paramilitary group to challenge Mengsk's tyranny. For the sequel StarCraft II, Raynor is framed as the viewpoint character of its Terran campaign Wings of Liberty; his opposition to Mengsk and his attachment to his former cohort Sarah Kerrigan serves as the main emotional throughline of StarCraft II. He also appears as a playable character in the crossover multiplayer online battle arena game Heroes of the Storm. Outside video games, Raynor appears in the novels Liberty's Crusade and Queen of Blades, while his backstory is explored in the novels Heaven's Devils and Devil's Due.
