Biography
Captain Renard put together a search team which consisted of uniformed officers and detectives to track down the missing girl Robin Howell. He set up a search grid of Berkeley Park and the surrounding neighborhoods including Hildabrand Road, which is where Robin lived with her mother and grandfather.

Renard employed a Hexenbiest named Adalind Schade to assassinate former Grimm Marie Kessler before she could impart too much information to her successor Nick Burkhardt. When this failed, Renard brought in a Reaper to finish the job. This tactic also failed, but Kessler died anyway. However, she lived long enough to pass her legacy as well as her weaponry and resources to Nick Burkhardt.
