Marshal Jim Raynor | StarCraft 

Did you know the Templin Institute is on Twitter? Do you care? If you answered “no” and then “yes” be sure to check us out here: twitter.com/TemplinEdu

"This is Jimmy.."

I feel Jim is underrated among the pantheon of iconic video game characters. So it's cool you guys dedicated a video to him and hope there'll be more like it in the future.

Damn. This one hit home for me. Old Jimmy Raynor isn’t that well know so it brings a tear to my eye to see you guys made a video on him.

Best starcraft character ever.

Tassadar, Zeratul, Kerrigan get a lot of love from the fanbase. But to me my favourite character from the StarCraft universe will always me Jim. He is exactly what I want to see in a leader who would lead the humans in a world as terrifying and harsh as that of starcraft. A beacon of hope, the optimism that is needed. I think his speech before the final battle in Wings of Liberty sums his character up rather well.

"My Pleasure Darlin'... Always was." ~ Jim Raynor

"I never gave up on you Kerrigan, don't you give up on us!!"

Hats off to the guy who stole the heart of one of the most badass women in video games. Also, i'm surprised they didn't mention the Magistrate that was sent to help Raynor.

There is something... mythological about his relationship with Sarah Kerrigan. The enduring pals in battle, the friends who would never leave the other one behind, the love that trespasses the barrier between universes... In the end, love is very simple. "Like riding a bike".

Its capital on "Korhal" I think you mean Tarsonis.

Hell, it's about time

"Raiders Roll..."

THIS IS JIMMY

You should have highlighted his friendship with the Protoss Fenix

This needs to be a movie series. Rich story, exciting, rich characters.

Tassidar and Fenix needs more love. I hope the Institute takes a closer look and these amazing Protoss.

Brings out a touch of emotion, this is a series I've been playing since I was 9 years old. I'll never forget the amazing universe Blizzard thought up.

My boi!!! Man I grew up with this guy as one of my personnal heroes and inspirations. And he still is. I salute you.

Starcraft...one of the best love stories ever and one of the best heroes :)

Jim Raynor is a badass! Also, my recommendations for future episodes are: Gwyn, Lord of Cinder; Father Elijah from Fallout New Vegas; Ozpin, the headmaster of the Beacon Academy; the favorite villain of Pandora, Handsome Jack; and Reaver from Fable 2 and 3.

Some suggestions, if I may: 1. The Combine from Half-Life 2 2. The Co-Prosperity Sphere from Man in the High Castle (would go well with the Greater German Reich) 3. Norsefire England from V for Vendetta

Well done Jimmy, You've earned that ending :)

Dossier: Emperor of Mankind, please.

Code Geass -> United Federation of Nations, The Black Knights, Holy Britannian Empire, The Geass Order

Sees topic. Smashes like button.

Lovely. To my understanding a good chunk of SC2 players have mostly or only played it for the multiplayer, climbing ladders and doing custom games. Nothing wrong with that, but they are missing out on the great story that is the Campaigns. Wings of Liberty is by far my favorite of the bunch, I've replayed it countless times, and a lot of it comes down to the charm, wit and great personality that is James Raynor, aka Jimmy.

The factions of Sins of Solar Empire? The Trader Emergency Coalition, The Advent and The Vasari?

HOW IRONIC THAT I JUST FINISHED THE STARCRAFT II CAMPAIGN THEN YOU GUYS UPLOAD THIS

A dossier on the legendary Doomslayer would be nice! His lore is kinda scattered and unclear at some points, and it'd be cool to see y'all piece it together for everyone.

Jimmy and Sarah got their happy ending! I believe it!

Jim Rainor is one of the little true examples in the world, whom our children must follow and learn from!!! :D :D :D

[1] Jim Raynor deserves a film of his own. [2] There are so my similarities between Raynor and Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly / Serenity).

Do Scolar Visari or Nathan Hale one day.

Nice music

Great video as always. Though while the Starcraft Universe is somewhat lacking in lore, I do look forward to more videos on the universe as it's one of my favorites. :3

man you guys are great. just seeing jim's legacy again made me cry XD

"Been waitin' on you..." Great vid as always!

No mention of his best bro Fenix?

o7 Raynor. Hope you found peace and happiness after all of that.

Man, i loved S 2 Wings of Liberty, it had that awesome feel that i really didnt get in the sequels, not sure why.

I love these Templin Institute videos.

About the only hint of his disappearance, was the amount of flowers on Raynor's parent's graves that suddenly appeared. Not to mention the greening of the devastated worlds, including Mar Sara. "Some say that Kerrigan came to get Jimmy and disappeared together. The Protoss say they are Xel'naga now, doing the task of being gods, fixing things to rights. But who honestly knows.... You'd have to find them and ask if you want my advice."

For a suggestion: I've love to see you cover Honor Harrington. Your video on the Star Kingdom of Manticore was awesome!

Another great video! New fan here, loving it so far. I really like that these videos aren't afraid to be TLDR's of the given universe's overall story within the scope of the character or event in question. On that note...I never played SC2 past wings of liberty but recall LOTS of screeching about the story after it.....it doesn't sound that bad. Thoughts, anyone?

Amestris is a good idea for a video. Love the channel!

AH HELL YES, Ma boi Jim Raynor.

Easily one of my favorites! Perhaps do one on Kerrigan or the Zerg or Protoss. Either way this was magnificent

Great vid, thanks be if my favorite characters of all time

Jim Ryanor & Tychus Findlay my alltime favorite characters and team in all Starcraft

Easily one of my most favorite heroes in sci-fi or fantasy.

Jim was always one of my favorite character because of his character, just imagine a place where psychics and highly advanced races exist and there's just this one dude in an outdated combat suit with a gun

By far my favourite sci-fi character

For another dossier, I hope you can do the Protoss as well as Artanis. Him, Zeratul and Raynor are among my favorite Starcraft figures ever.

If there was ever a Starcraft character that deserved a happy-ever-after, it's ol' Jimmy.

i love characters that are not only truly good people but lead by example and bravery. no matter what, Jim will always be one of my all time favorite characters in SI-FI

Suggestion: 1) The Hero, Avenging Son, Head commander of Imperium of Man, Primarch, Lord of Ultramar, Tactical Genius, Leader second only to Emperor of Man himself glorius ROBOUTE GULLIMAN 2) The Lich Lord of The Plaguelands, Commander of The Dread Necropolis, Master of the Cold Dark, Founder of the Cult of The Damned, Former Member of the Council of Six, Creator of the Abominations, Betrayer of Humanity, Summoner of Archimonde, and Majordomo to The Lich King KEL'THUZAD

Love the channel :D Characters/Factions for suggestions: 1. God-Emperor of Mankind 2. Paul Atreides (Dune) 3. House Atreides (Dune) 4. The Tenno (Warframe) 5. Holy Britannian Empire (Code Geass) 6. Lelouch vi Britannia (Code Geass)

Love the videos, they are informative and easy enougt to understand, keep at it. And I would love to see more from warhammer 40k, chapter master Logan Grimnar, the old wolf espesily.

Gotta agree with that statement that Raynor is such an honorable man who strove to do the right thing no matter the cost.

Music is a little off but defintely more fitting compared to the Dominion video. Great job! Looking forward to the next Starcraft videos (Can we get Planetside 2 tho?)

Suggestion: Erebus, 1st chaplain of the 17th Legion Astartes and arguably, the primary architect of the Horus Heresy...

I think that a video about Ghazghkull Thraka, Commissar Yarrick or Roboute Guilliman (from the Warhammer 40000 universe) would be owesome

Although you may not find much information on them, I'd love to see you do some videos on the characters and organizations from the Legacy of Kain games. Among the characters are Kain: Scion of Balance, his former lieutenant turned enemy and finally his mightiest ally in the battle against the true enemy, Raziel and the character who showed himself to be the Jesus Christ of the undead, Janos Audron.

Thank you!

Excellent. So, I know you mostly do heroic characters, but I would like to see you do a villain: Scorpius of the Peacekeepers (Farscape)

Amazing BGM... Always love the Starcraft & Warhammer vids most

Firebat is full of hell and heat

I moved heaven and earth to bring you back Sarah! Now don't you give up on us

It's good that the Institute is expanding outward to character profiles and that I became a Jim Raynor fan after SC2 went free.

Hell, it's about time!

If you still need suggestions, I recommend Dossiers on Lady Dame Honor Stephanie Alexander-Harrington (from the Honor Harrignton books), Admiral Wilf Ansor Brim (from the Helmsman books of the late Bill Baldwin; a series that deserves its own Atlas entry, etc.), and Jaxom of Ruatha Hold (Dragonriders of Pern).

The Vault Dweller/Chosen One from Fallout 1 and 2!

The Southern Systems will Rise Again! XD

Templin Institute, gimme a dossier on the DoomSlayer, that story is god damn EPIC!

#awesome Thank you. I looove star craft. This makes me very Happy. 👍

Good ol' Jimmy boy! showing us just how badass the bard archetype can be. seriously, I know he looks like a stock standard grizzled veteran stereotype but if you take a look at his history and accomplishments you pretty much just find one long ongoing list of talking his way out of things and talking people into things and getting people to sign up for certain death with a smile on their face because dammit there's a job what needs a-doin' the man has gotten his entire unit to put a death sentence on their heads because it was the right thing to do, gotten captured for that death sentence and _somehow talked his way from a summary execution into being the head of law enforcement for the settlement that captured him_ when someone from his old unit decided it wasn't worth it and set out to kill him he talked them into joining up instead he has talked complete strangers into turning their backs on everything they believe in to give him a chance to try to show them things from his perspective (again, sent there to kill him) talked one of his worst enemies into putting their life on the line to defend _their_ worst enemy I'mma stop there because there's just a whole laundry list of other impossible communication outcomes long enough that I'd hit the wordcount limit long before finishing.

Great Video, however, there's a tiny mistake 3:44 Confederacy capital planet is Tarsonis (where the battle of New Gettysburg took place) Korhal is the capital of the Son of Korhal, the rebel group turned into Terran Dominion

A dossier on Lord Commander Dante of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter from Warhammer 40k would be pretty cool

Would love to see an ol' factory episode on the Protoss Hierarchy please.

Suggestions for a future topic: Marcus Fenix from Gears of War

"Zzzz-ne small step for man, one giant-ZZZZ-STOP POKING ME!"

Your videos are too good I don’t even know what to comment but enjoy the video...

This is Jimmy.

One of my all time favorite heros

Jim Raynor is one of my absolute favorite character's, though I think that it sucks that he just fades away.

Starcraft would make an excellent movie

Can you do a dossier video about Master Chief and Arbiter Thel Vadam from the Halo games?

Ah the famous Jim Raynor leader of the Ryan’s Raiders.

You guys should do a video about the federation from star trek, or a dossier on obi wan Kenobi

im hoping that one day this will be updated with new info but for now great video

I would love to see a dossier on the 80’s Robocop

Ur lore is accurate and I love it

3:30 actually, at that time they were called Sons of Korhal, they weren't called Raynor's Raiders until Jim deserted the newly formed Terran Dominion.

Do General Jack O'neill from stargate next please.

Damn, it's about time.

i really hope this isnt the last we hear from Jim.

You did well on jim raynor backstory,can you do the same thing with Sarah Karrigan?

Since you're dwelling within the StarCraft Universe, please make a video about the Aeon of Strife. Thanks, love the videos.

It would be cool if you guys did a focus on Fenix. I feel like he gets overshadowed so much even though his story was a bit of a fulcrum especially when it comes to some of Raynor's later motivations. Fenix's murder had built on Raynor's guilt and anger, as well as his need to redeem Sarah.
