Jim Raynor

Jim Raynor is one of the primary protagonists of the Starcraft series. Former marshal of the Mar Sara colony with in the Confederacy of Man, Jim was imprissoned after attacking an infested Terran Command center 'for destroying confederate property'. This left the colonial militia solely in command of Mar Sara's magistrate. As had been the policy of the confederacy, the colony was to prepare to evac due to the growing Zerg presence. This lack of action to combat the Zerg on the confederacy's part frustrated many who dwelled on the frontier worlds. However, the confederate evacuation would take too long, and in a bid to save as many colonists as possible the magistrate accepted aid from a rebel force known as the Sons of Korhal. While the Sons of Korhal freed Jim from captivity, a detachment was sent to Mar Sara. Jim had already had it with Confederate inactivity in facing the Zerg, and had determined that the Confederate government didn't care what happened to the frontier colonies. He sided with Acturus Mensk, leader of the Sons of Korhal to overthrow the confederate government. He would however come to regret his decision, as Mesnk not only betrayed the trust of Sarah Kerrigan, but also declared him self Emperor of the newly formed Terran Dominion, which rose from the smouldering nuclear wastes of Tarsonis, the Confederate capital world, following bombardment at the hands of the Sons of Korhal.
