Renaud Beaufort (born May 28, 1994) is a Meta-Human from Earth-0, he's the second cousin of those other people who are related to the Beauforts through their mother. He didn't take to well to the death of his mother, and blames his younger sister for it.

Personality

Renaud is an obsessive man, being quick to latch onto people and things that he views as belonging to him. Conversely, if something threatens (or he views as threatening) something that he's obsessed with, there is little Renaud will not do to "protect" it. Alongside this, Renaud possesses a lack of self-awareness that often leads to him refusing to take responsibility for his own actions and typically leaves him incapable of seeing the flaws in his own views.

Summary

Renaud is the oldest child of Bertrand and Margot Beaufort.

When Renaud was younger, his mother died protecting his younger sister from some unknown incident. Due to his attachment to his mother, Renaud took this very poorly, and blamed his sister for the event. The two lost contact with each other due to this.

In 2017, Renaud approached Sabine again, telling her of his plan to sacrifice her to fufill a covenant with a being that spoke to him through his dreams. When Sabine refused, he tried to force the matter, chasing her around France, sending her dreams telepathically the whole time.

Renaud eventually caught up with his sister, finding her at a hotel alongside two other people, and attempted to kidnap her. This attempt was stalled, however, by Orion's protection, causing Renaud to call upon his new benefactor to increase his power multiple times.

Despite being on the back foot for the fight, Renaud managed to run away with Sabine in his possession - with Orion in hot pursuit behind him.

Tired of the chase, Renaud attempted to convince his pursuers by taking them all into The Tree's portion of the Astral Plane, but was shocked to discover that the others did not see the utopia that he saw when there. After some crazed ramblings, Renaud was put to sleep by Madeleine[1].

A dream version of Renaud, likely without his personality issues, appeared in Orion's ideal dream world[2].
