Resourceful, loyal and honorable Jim Raynor comes back in Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty as the main protagonist. After losing hundreds of men in his desperate attempt to save Sarah Kerrigan, only to eventually be betrayed by her, he is a broken shadow of a man and drowns his sorrows with drink every chance he gets.

He is disillusioned with the universe. He survived the bloody Guild wars that have now passed and watched the Zerg ravage the Terran worlds. Mengsk who he thought was an ally betrayed him and handed Sarah Kerrigan, the love of his life over to the Zerg. He lived through her assimilation, was unable to save her and then suffered her treachery.

Now in Starcraft 2 the growing desperation of his plight eats away at him. He has no money to keep his mission of bringing down Mengsk’s Terran Dominion going, and has to take on mercenary work. His second in command Matt Horner is the only man who believes in him, that one day soon this brilliant, experienced tactician will once again become the hero he was always meant to be.
