The character played by Michael Biehn as seen in 1984 original who traveled back in time to save Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) from being killed by the The Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Reese ends up fathering her son John who goes on to lead humanity against Skynet's machines and who sends Reese back in time on the mission in the first place.
