Jim Raynor was a Confederate marshal on Mar Sara at the time of the first zerg incursions on that world. Despite bravely fighting the alien aggressors and saving many lives, he was arrested by Confederacy forces on the pretext of destroying Confederate property at Backwater Station. When he was subsequently liberated by Arcturus Mengsks Sons of Korhal, an anti-Confederate revolutionary group, Raynor chose to fight alongside them.
  
    Jim Raynor在第一次蟲族（zerg）入侵世界的時(shí)候，是一位Mar Sara行星上的聯(lián)邦軍官。盡管他與異星侵略者進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)斗并解救了無數(shù)生命，卻因?yàn)槠茐牧寺?lián)邦的財(cái)產(chǎn)——位于死水站的聯(lián)邦指揮中心，而被聯(lián)邦軍隊(duì)以此名義逮捕。當(dāng)他后來被Arcturus Mengsk的Korhal之子解救時(shí)，他便決定跟隨Korhal一起反抗聯(lián)邦軍。
  

    Mengsks hunger for power and his growing lack of scruples soon began to trouble Raynor. Eventually Mengsks betrayal of his own lieutenant Sarah Kerrigan and his ruthless manipulation of the zerg to attack Confederacy-held worlds showed Raynor that Mengsk was no better than the oppressors he sought to overthrow. Raynor led a revolt within the ranks of the Sons of Korhal and seized Mengsks personal flagship, the Hyperion, and a small fleet of ships. While attempting to rescue Kerrigan from the zerg planet Char, Raynor encountered protoss there and gained the respect of the valiant Executor Tassadar. Raynors bluff honesty enabled him to forge a bond between Tassadar and the dark templar Zeratul.

   Mengsk對(duì)于權(quán)力的欲望以及他的猜疑和顧忌的日益增長，逐漸讓Raynor感覺困擾。最終，Mengsk對(duì)他副官Sarah Kerrigan的背叛以及蟲族對(duì)聯(lián)邦軍占據(jù)地的攻擊所采取的無情做法，讓Raynor認(rèn)識(shí)到Mengsk與那些壓迫者如出一轍。隨后，Raynor在Korhal之子等一干人等的幫助下發(fā)動(dòng)了判斷并占領(lǐng)了Mengsk的旗艦——Hyperion以及總數(shù)不多的艦隊(duì)。當(dāng)他嘗試從蟲族的Char行星中解救Kerrigan時(shí)，Raynor遇到了神族（protoss）并且贏得了勇敢的執(zhí)行官Tassadar的青睞。而他坦率的忠誠讓他和Tassadar以及黑暗圣堂武士Zeratul之間產(chǎn)生了羈絆。
    

    Raynor and his troops went on to fight alongside the protoss in several campaigns and played a key role in battling the United Earth Directorate incursion that followed. A twist of fate found Raynor temporarily allied with Arcturus Mengsk and the Queen of Blades, the being reforged from Sarah Kerrigan by the zerg Overmind. Although these two tyrants fought against a common foe, it was only a matter of time until their tenuous alliance collapsed. In the end Kerrigan was the one who turned against her erstwhile allies and struck the first blow, and many of Jim Raynors comrades died to her treachery.

　Raynor和他的部隊(duì)隨后與神族一同作戰(zhàn)，并且在UED（地球聯(lián)合，United Earth Directorate）的入侵時(shí)發(fā)揮了關(guān)鍵的作用。而命運(yùn)的玩弄也讓Raynor和Arcturus Mengsk以及Blades皇后（也就是被蟲族感染后的Sarah Kerrigan）結(jié)成了同盟。雖然這兩個(gè)殘暴的人一直都在對(duì)抗著普通的對(duì)手，而他們之間的同盟的瓦解。最終，Kerrigan首先背叛了她的盟友并發(fā)動(dòng)了攻擊，而Jim Raynor的卻慘死于她的背叛.

      Raynor escaped the massacre and vowed to have vengeance at some day in the future. Even so, against the full strength of the zerg Swarm and the vast psionic powers of the Queen of Blades, his chances seemed slender at best. Eventually, exhausted and disillusioned, Raynor returned to terran space to lead a resistance movement against the spreading power of Arcturus Mengsks Terran Dominion. Over the years this fight hasnt gone well. Arcturus Mengsk has used his greatest weapons – oratory, the media, and propaganda – to marginalize Raynors efforts.

    Raynor幸運(yùn)的逃離了這場(chǎng)殘殺，并且發(fā)誓將來一定要復(fù)仇。即便如此，與具有龐大實(shí)力的蟲族部隊(duì)以及Blades皇后那強(qiáng)大的超能力對(duì)抗，他的勝率也是微乎其微。在最終的筋疲力盡和幻想破滅后，Raynor回到了人族（terran）世界并對(duì)蔓延的Arcturus Mengsk的通知發(fā)起了反抗運(yùn)動(dòng)。而隨后幾年的時(shí)間里，他的反抗斗爭進(jìn)行的并非那么順利。Arcturus Mengsk動(dòng)用了他龐大的攻勢(shì)——演講、新聞媒體以及宣傳活動(dòng)將Raynor的努力逐漸淡化。 

    Raynors Raiders remain public enemy number one to the powerful Terran Dominion. Mengsk sees Raynors continuing existence as a challenge to his authority. However, Mengsk is also wary of creating a martyr by having Raynor assassinated, and so he has taken steps to keep Raynor and his followers constantly hunted and harried and deny them any chance to gain a respite and build their strength.

   Raynor的部隊(duì)對(duì)于強(qiáng)大的人族統(tǒng)治者來說仍然是首要的威脅。Mengsk也一直將Raynor那堅(jiān)持不懈的斗爭和他的存在視為對(duì)其統(tǒng)治的挑戰(zhàn)。但是，Mengsk也盡量減少自己統(tǒng)治下的受難者以免讓他們加入Raynor的陣營，因此他并不急于消滅Raynor的部隊(duì)，而是逐步的消耗他們，并且不給他們?nèi)魏螜C(jī)會(huì)來壯大自己的勢(shì)力。

    Years of skirmishing with the inexhaustible resources of the Dominion has whittled down Raynors forces to a shadow of their former selves. Raynor has had to resort to occasional mercenary work just to garner enough funds to repair and rearm in the short term. Keeping his outfit running means that additional mercenary jobs will likely be needed in the future. Freedom isnt free.

    在數(shù)年與人族統(tǒng)治者的消耗戰(zhàn)中，Raynor的實(shí)力被逐漸的消耗。而Raynor也不得不選擇雇傭兵的工作來獲取足夠的資金以便修復(fù)和重新裝備自己的部隊(duì)。在隨后的時(shí)期內(nèi)，他被迫做一些雇傭任務(wù)來讓自己的部隊(duì)維持下去�？梢�，自由并不是免費(fèi)的午餐。

        Today Raynor seems to be losing faith: hes drinking heavily and blames himself for Kerrigans being taken by the zerg. His hatred for Arcturus Mengsk has become a festering wound. Raynors first officer, Matt Horner, still believes in him and in the revolution even though some of Raynors doubts are spreading to his crew. Horner has done a lot to keep things going over the years, always having faith that Raynors innate heroism will resurface and lead the rebels to victory.


        今天，Raynor似乎失去了往日的信念：他嗜酒度日，時(shí)常因?yàn)镵errigan被蟲族控制而譴責(zé)自己。而他對(duì)于Acrturus Mengsk的仇恨也成為了他身上“惡化的傷口”。Raynor的第一長官M(fèi)att Horner仍然堅(jiān)信著他，盡管Raynor的疑慮正在他的部隊(duì)中蔓延。Horner在這些年努力讓事情可以順利的進(jìn)行下去，同時(shí)也相信Raynor那天生的英勇氣概將會(huì)重現(xiàn)，并且?guī)ьI(lǐng)大家走向勝利。

       
       Raynor is a good leader and an excellent tactician although he lacks any formal training or background. He has learned his skills through experience, and so he is unfettered by preconceived notions of what "the book" says is the right or wrong approach. Raynor will seldom plan things out in very much depth, but he has an excellent ability to improvise and turn the tables in a situation by using whatever he has at hand.

Raynor盡管沒有經(jīng)受過任何正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練，但他仍然是一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和出色的戰(zhàn)術(shù)指揮官。他歷經(jīng)無數(shù)的戰(zhàn)斗，讓自己逐漸成長并領(lǐng)悟了各種戰(zhàn)斗技能，而他的所作所為也擺脫了書本中所說的對(duì)與錯(cuò)的束縛。Raynor并不會(huì)將計(jì)劃設(shè)計(jì)的過于縝密，然而他那種出色的能力，可以讓戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)中的局勢(shì)有所改變而有利于己方。


Raynor is also a man with a past. He is a known associate of notorious convict Tychus Findlay, the pair of them having served together in the 321st Colonial Rangers Battalion "Heavens Devils" during the Confederacy/Kel-Morian Guild Wars almost twenty years ago. Their first meeting was in the brig at Camp McIntyre while serving 30 days apiece for insubordination.

Raynor同樣是一個(gè)有著過去的男人。傳聞中他也和臭名昭著的罪犯Tychus Findlay有關(guān)系，而他們兩人也曾經(jīng)在20多年前的聯(lián)邦Kel-Morian的公會(huì)戰(zhàn)爭中，服役于第321殖民地突擊隊(duì)“天堂惡魔”。


Both men were listed as missing in action for almost nine months after a reconnaissance mission into Kel-Morian territory in the latter stages of the fighting on Mar Sara. Findlay was later turned over to the Confederacy by the Kel-Morians as part of a prisoner exchange after hostilities ceased. He was promptly incarcerated for desertion under fire. Exactly how Raynor managed to avoid Findlays fate and land a job as marshal is unknown.


兩個(gè)男人也被列于戰(zhàn)俘及作戰(zhàn)中失蹤人員名單之中長達(dá)九個(gè)月，而事情則發(fā)生在Mar Sara行星的戰(zhàn)斗時(shí)，對(duì)Kel-Morian區(qū)域所進(jìn)行的偵察任務(wù)中。在�；鹬�后，F(xiàn)indlay被作為戰(zhàn)俘交換的一部分，由Kel-Morian送回了聯(lián)邦軍，而又被迅速的投入到了監(jiān)禁之中。但是，Raynor是如何避免了與Findlay同樣的下場(chǎng)轉(zhuǎn)而成為軍官卻仍然是個(gè)迷
