Renard is exactly who he was from the beginning. He didn’t pretend to be anything he wasn’t, he simply allowed those around him to believe he was a good guy. I didn’t see any indication that Renard became a cop because he wanted to make the world a better place. If anything, being on the police force provided him contacts/resources and access to information along with government backed clout when dealing with troublesome opponents & obstacles. But more important, was a stepping stone in his eventual rise to power either in the public or private sector.
I didn’t take as much issue with Nick choosing the Grimm method over law enforcement method as I did Hank & Wu. Being a Grimm made Nick inherently different. But as humans who happen to know about Grimm and Wesen, I expected Hank and Wu to struggle over increasingly crossing the line of ingrained police conduct. But they didn’t, to the point of instantly deciding they could commit murder.
I agree with you Robyn but I would put Renard in the personal gain sector as he only went into the police force for power and personal gian.
