Tychus J. Findlay was a allied marine with a larcenous attitude. He was an old friend of Jim Raynor. Findlay's true personality is a matter of debate—some describe Findlay as a scoundrel who would sell his own mother to the Dark Eldar Pirates for the right sum while others see him as a loyal soldier who risked his life for fellow marines in the Guild Wars. Not even Jim Raynor can say for sure,[6] though believed Findlay to have a "heart of gold" due to several friendly gestures Findlay made during the Guild Wars.[4] He has shown xenophobic tendencies and wasn't afraid to speak his mind.[13] Loving nothing more than getting into a fight,[42] he relished combat and was very enthusiastic about piloting the Odin, joyfully unleashing its power on the Axis.[27][28] He had an unsubtle combat style,[42] and the Bolter is his weapon of choice.
