Jim Raynor Revealed for Starcraft II

If you played through the original Starcraft’s story in the right order, Jim Raynor was one of the first main characters you commanded. He was a marshal on the first Terran world the Zerg invaded and was an integral part of different battles against them, until the Confederacy tried to have him arrested and he turned rogue. After fighting against the Confederacy and gaining the trust of the Protoss, Raynor’s troops have now dwindled as they are constantly on the run from an old rival of his; which is where Starcraft II opens up. From the sounds of things, it seems Raynor is one of several “heroes” which will — I assume — function like the heroes in Warcraft III; providing buffs to units and casting spells and such. Frankly though, the game could be just a re-skinned version of Warcraft III, and I’d still buy it the day it came out.

Fugly.. but I guess it makes sense he’d be older..
I don’t know, I was just hoping he’d wise up and become a sensible old man as opposed to some crazy old guy who dyes his hair.
I believe I saw somewhere that there will not be heroes in Starcraft II.
