Renegade is Detective #4 in the Detective's Alliance and is involved in the events that occurred on the island of Morgue.

## Appearance

Renegade Detective has long black hair in a messy braid, with long bangs framing his face. He wears glasses, skin tight black jeans, a long olive green capelet coat with a black turtleneck underneath, and red heels with matching ribbons around his neck and the end of his braid. He is known to have a sly smile and lidded eyes.

## Personality

Renegade Detective is emotionally unstable and an extreme sadist. He loves to bully and deceive others, but will stand by what he says and even be kind at times. Renegade is strongly tied to his morals and insists on making others believe in them. He believes that life is precious and should be valued. Despite this, Renegade gleefully enjoys murder and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

He tends to gravitate towards people who excite him.

## History

Around 10 years ago, Renegade was one of the children imprisoned and experimented on by the Secret Police; however, he managed to escape in a group with 4 other children, who collectively earned the title of "Invincible Detective."

2 years afterward [¹], his father reportedly committed suicide by hanging. Upon finding the body, his mother flew into a frenzy and attacked her son. Allegedly, he disarmed her and killed her in self defense, although he ended up being treated as a crazed killer by the public due to his cheerful recount of the incident on live television.

He gained the alias of Child A and was placed in the Never-Child Correctional Center, which caused a scramble between the existing children's "factions" to get him on their side. Many casualties occurred, and the facility was forced to shut down, and he was transferred to another facility. Either there or in the original facility, he ended up killing two other children and caving in the nose of a third.

Some time later, Ideal Detective recruited him to the Detective Alliance, fitted him with a special collar to keep him in check, and he took on the detective alias of Renegade Detective.

## Trivia

### Timeline contradiction

[¹] When the Gingami Family Suicide case actually occurred has been brought into question by contradicting testimony throughout the game.

* During a conversation with Wato and Renegade, Workaholic claims Renegade killed his mother 8 years prior to in-game events, but that he killed three children during his time at the correctional facility. Renegade then corrects Workaholic on the amount of children killed, but not how long ago the case occurred.
* The Gingami Family Suicide lexicon entry does not specify when the event took place, only stating it occurred "years ago".
* During the skit "On Life", Renegade asks Armor if he remembers the "Gingami Family Suicide case from ten years back?", to which Armor agrees but doesn't say anything about the time frame.
* Renegade's completed roster entry claims he killed his mother 8 years ago.

It's possible that Renegade himself was rounding the years up for simplicity; as he was the only one present at the time, it should be assumed he would know how long ago the case was. Despite this, as Workaholic was already an adult at the time, he may have had a better memory of the timeline than the then 7-9yo Renegade. The roster entry should be treated as the truth on account of its unbiased, objective nature, even if it means that Renegade was not an orphan at the time that he was abducted by the Secret Police, who were specifically kidnapping orphans.
