Biography[]
Early life[]
At some point, Renee married Chas Chandler and they had a daughter, Geraldine.
After Chas was the sole survivor of a bar fire, his and Renee's marriage became tense, eventually resulting in the couple divorcing. Afterwards, Renee became the primary caretaker of Geraldine.[1]
Saving Geraldine[]
Late in the evening, Renee was waiting at the house of Chas, who was to spend the weekend with his daughter. When he came home late, the woman was angry with him for behaving irresponsibly even after his divorce. He was not going to listen to her and immediately went upstairs to greet his daughter. However, he saw her unconscious, lying on the floor, and without delay he drove her to the hospital. Soon after, Constantine appeared in the facility with a certain Zed, who came at the call of a friend. The reason for their daughter's coma was not illness, but something mystical that the team decided to do. Together, with the help of the medium, they discovered that a certain Felix Faust was behind everything, with whom they had made a contract to save the girl's soul. The mage, however, broke it at the last moment, so Chas decided to act alone. Hearing this name, Renee intended to help the team, fearing for her daughter. Zed decided to stay with the woman to guard the girl's body. Realizing that there was not much time left, the woman began to get nervous. She blamed herself for being unable to help her own child when she found out that Martin was a psychic. She asked her to try to contact her daughter, which she did. However, the connection was broken and all the pain from the girl shifted to the woman. Doctors took care of the case, and Renee found the address where she had decided to go in the scattered items from the woman's purse.
Meanwhile, Chandler tricked Faust to himself with a tendon from his Achilles heel and pulled a grenade pin in front of Constantine's eyes. Unexpectedly, Renee appeared in the building, whom Chas ordered John to protect, shouting his last words before the explosion, as a result of which Faust died and the souls returned to their rightful owners. Several dozen minutes later, after the fire brigade arrived, John had the opportunity to quietly talk to Renee. He explained to her that Chas would be back and it would be long enough, depending on how violent his death was. He also tried to make excuses to himself that he didn't want to stand between their relationship and if he could change the time he would fix it. However, he cannot do that, and only thanks to him Chandler is still alive.[1]
