Ranger is the main character of Quake. While initially unnamed since the developers intended that the player should incorporate the character themselves, the story does refer to him as 'You' which further encourages the idea. He was eventually referred to as 'Quakeguy' 'Player ' 'The hero (In Mission packs)' 'Quake's Protagonist' or 'Marine', a character named "Ranger" appeared in Quake 3 Arena with the exact same appearance and a description that matches the events endured by the protagonist of Quake. He is the sole survivor of Operation Counter-Strike and his mission is to take down the enemy leader "Quake".
