Kyle Reese is a soldier in the human resistance from the post-apocalyptic future of The Terminator. He is the posthumous father of John Connor through the result of a predestination paradox, and the first love interest of Sarah Connor.
Original timeline
Kyle Reese (Sergeant, Tech-Com, DN38416) was born in the year 2004, where most of humanity had already been wiped out in a deadly nuclear war on August 29, 1997, sparked off by an artificial intelligence known as Skynet. The sentient computer system then launched a genocidal war on the survivors. When Skynet sends one of its most feared machines, a T-800 series Terminator, back to pre-apocalypse Los Angeles, California on May 12, 1984, to assassinate the young Sarah Connor, Connor decides to send a soldier to intercept the Terminator. Sergeant Kyle Reese personally volunteers for a one-way mission back to pre-apocalypse Los Angeles to save Sarah Connor, mostly because he has a picture of her given by John.
Though hard and battle weary, Reese had a love for Sarah despite having never met and only through a photo could identify. The affection Kyle felt for Sarah was based on the legend that surrounded her and on the image of her from the photograph given to him by John Connor. Though initially hostile towards Reese, Sarah grows to trust and love him as he becomes the only thing between her and the Terminator. On the run from the Terminator, Reese and Sarah share a night of intimacy, in which her future son and human leader John Connor is conceived. However, Kyle's life is cut short when he and Sarah are forced to confront the Terminator; in an attempt to blow up the T-800 with his last homemade pipe bomb, Reese rolls down the metal stairway and is killed. By impregnating Sarah with John, Kyle created a predestination paradox in the same way that the discovery of the Terminator's remains in the factory gave birth to Skynet. It was only a matter of time before John Connor (who was already aware of his parentage through audio recordings by his mother Sarah) would save Kyle and recruit him into Tech-Com.
New timeline
Reese, who has been a part of Tech-com since the tender age of 13, was sent back by John Connor to protect young Sarah Connor, only to discover that Sarah has been raised and trained by a reprogrammed T-800, thus the events of the first film has been negated due to time travel. When the original T-800 is destroyed by its reprogrammed counterpart, Kyle must battle against Skynet's other cyborg agents with Sarah and the Guardian. After the timeline's alteration, Kyle, who receives fragments of memories that belong to his alternate self--realizes that Skynet will attack in 2017 instead of 1997. The trio discovers that Skynet has also compromised John Connor in the future (and also learning the truth of John's parentage), and sent its Terminators through time to eliminate the trio in order to keep humanity unaware of the impending apocalypse and secure its victory over the human race. Kyle, Sarah, and the Guardian fight a desperate battle to ensure that Skynet and its machines never rise. After the trio successfully thwart Skynet's attack and defeat the T-3000, Kyle pursues a romantic relationship with Sarah, and promises her that he will never leave her again.
