Johnny Raynor

"Had a kid. He was gifted they said."

- Jim Raynor

Johnny Raynor is the son of Liddy and Jim Raynor. He was later conscripted into the Ghost Program, which (supposedly) resulted in his death.

Biography
Johnny was born with psionic powers on the Fringe World colony of Mar Sara. The details of his early life are unknown, but regardless, it was cut short. Having caught the attention of those in the Ghost Program, he was offerred a goverment scholarship at a "special school." Accepting the offer, he departed from Mar Sara. A few months later, his parents were informed of an 'incident' at the school, one which supposedly resulted in his death.

Ghost: Figurative or Literal?
While the Confederacy would have his parents believe otherwise, Johnny's apparant death may or may not have transpired. For all intents and purposes, he, like all Ghosts, was 'dead' as soon as he was conscripted into the program and a cover story proclaiming his demise would have ensured that he was regarded as such.

Of course, Johnny would have had to deal with rigorous Ghost training and, if he survived, would have been in his early teens at the most (probably less) in the Zerg invasion of Tarsonis, not to mention dealing with numerous other hazards. Death could have easily taken him at any point.

Trivia
While all information on Johnny comes from StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade, he is not actually named until StarCraft: Queen of Blades; four years between the two publication dates.
