User blog comment:Theory of everything/Grimm Speculations Part One: Sean Renard/@comment-74.110.127.217-20120814051225

I think it would be more helpful to know what exactly the Royal families are capable of.

My thinking is that everyone went rogue, which is why Renard's acquaintance commented that "Royalty ain't what it used to be." And Renard is trying to make things the way they used to be. His character description on Wikipedia says that he "seems to want a return to the old ways". The old ways would be when Grimms worked for the Royals, right?

He's probably protecting Nick (and Juliette... maybe) because Nick IS working for him. Both as a cop and as a Grimm, by eliminating Wesen who cause unnecessary trouble.

Renard has the power to have Nick killed if all he was after was the key. And he has the power to cover it up. But he doesn't because Nick is an asset to him.

His beliefs also seem to clash with the other Royals that we've seen on the show. I wonder why?

And also, is Portland some kind of mecca for Wesen? Perhaps that's why he's in charge of that particular area. It makes sense for him to only be in charge of a city as a Prince and as a police chief; I wonder if he has any siblings with the same sort of power? And where are his parents? Since he is a prince, his parents must be a king and queen?
