Sean Renard

As the ranking officer of the precinct, Captain Sean Renard is the man to whom Detectives Nick Burkhardt and Hank Griffin and Sergeant Wu report.

In the pilot it was revealed that Renard is aware of the supernatural world and has plans for Nick. He is determined to kill Marie Kessler before she tells Nick about whatever group Renard belongs to. His closest accomplice seems to be a Hexenbiest, Adalind Schade.

Renard may be royalty. Both because Hexenbeists are said to work for royalty, and because the second Reaper of the Grimm who came to avenge Hulda and slay Nick knelt before him, and when Renard told him that he may not avenge Hulda was surprised that Renard seemed to be protecting a Grimm. At this Renard sliced off the second Reaper's ear, so that he would listen better next time Renard gave orders.

Renard then helped Nick bring down the organ harvesting house, after he is in his office he sees a box with a reaper insignia on it he then opens it to find an ear that belonged to the reaper whose ear he chopped off, the reaper then calls him telling Renard to keep Nick under control or get rid of him because things or out of balance, in which Renard says that Nick has a badge and a conscience and says next time the reapers had better deliver their message in person.

Other than the mystery, Renard seems to be an intelligent and sensitive police official, a natural leader, always having his team's back. He is good with the press. He is usually on Nick's side, and acts like a good policeman.

The French word "renard" means "fox" in English.
