==Attributes==

===Personality===
Despite an often laid back and sarcastic demeanor,<ref name="manual">{{cite book|chapter=Roster of Heroes|author=Underwood, Peter|author2=Roper, Bill |author3=Metzen, Chris |author4= Vaughn, Jeffrey |title=StarCraft (manual)|publisher=Blizzard Entertainment|date=1998-04-01|page=91}}</ref> Raynor is described in the novel ''[[Liberty's Crusade]]'' as a decent and honorable man who is well liked by those under his command.<ref>{{cite book|author=Grubb, Jeff|title=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Marshal and Ghost|page=121|date=March 2001|title-link=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade}}</ref> Robert Clotworthy noted that as such, Raynor is always willing to do the right thing, no matter how difficult it may be. His assertion to kill [[Sarah Kerrigan]]—the series' main antagonist—despite his former love for her early in the story arc is one of the sacrifices that in Clotworthy's eyes makes Raynor a "true hero in the purest sense of the word".<ref name="Clotworthy"/> He is also described as being fiercely loyal to his friends and his cause,<ref name="manual"/> willing to put it all at risk for the protection of those who cannot defend themselves.<ref>{{cite book|author=Rosenburg, Aaron|title=StarCraft: Queen of Blades|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Chapter 2|page=13|date=June 2006|title-link=StarCraft: Queen of Blades}}</ref> It is this loyalty that causes deep resentment in Raynor when he is betrayed by those he had once trusted.<ref name="Blizzcon Gamespot"/> Although often displaying an overzealous attitude, Raynor is well respected by his men as a dynamic and reliable leader<ref name="manual"/> who always tries to ensure his troops survive the day, even when Raynor is responsible for getting them into a bad situation.<ref>{{cite book|author=Rosenburg, Aaron|title=StarCraft: Queen of Blades|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Chapter 5|pages=80–83|date=June 2006|title-link=StarCraft: Queen of Blades}}</ref> Raynor himself acknowledges that he is not the most intelligent man there is,<ref>{{cite book|author=Rosenburg, Aaron|title=StarCraft: Queen of Blades|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Chapter 11|page=181|date=June 2006|title-link=StarCraft: Queen of Blades}}</ref> but is shown as being extremely resourceful and persistent in the face of unfavorable odds.

===Depiction===

Raynor is only ever depicted by his unit portrait through the course of ''StarCraft'' and ''Brood War''. He is later shown in ''StarCraft II'' as a physically strong yet casually dressed character, wearing his combat gear over his normal clothes,<ref name="SC2bio">{{cite web|url=http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/hero/jim-raynor|title=Biography: Jim Raynor|work=StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty|publisher=Blizzard Entertainment|date=2010-07-27|access-date=2008-01-29}}</ref> which are further described in the novels as well-worn and rough in appearance.<ref>{{cite book|author=Grubb, Jeff|title=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Anthem Base|page=68|date=March 2001|title-link=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade}}</ref> Raynor has a neatly trimmed moustache and beard,<ref>{{cite book|author=Grubb, Jeff|title=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade|publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]]|chapter=Anthem Base|page=69|date=March 2001|title-link=StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade}}</ref> which by the time of ''StarCraft II'' are beginning to grey. His ''StarCraft II'' model also reveals the presence of tattoos on both his arms.<ref name="SC2bio"/> In addition, a number of pieces of concept art depict Raynor smoking.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eu.starcraft2.com/images/artwork/ss34-hires.jpg|title=Concept art of Raynor|work=StarCraft II|publisher=[[Blizzard Entertainment]]|access-date=2008-01-31}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> Unlike other characters, Raynor is not seen wearing a uniform at any point during the series, with the rare exceptions of when he is encased in [[space marine|marine]] combat armour.
