Pierre Renier is a nonplayer character from the Ravenloft campagn setting. In the game world, he is the twin brother of Gerard Renier and the co-leader of the Cult of Simon Audaire, which he hopes to use as a vehicle to stamp out the wererat influence from the Renier Family.

History

Pierre Renier was born in 714 BC, the son of Eduardo Renier and Marguerite Pentarde and the grandson of Claude Renier and Isabelle Moseau. Unlike his twin brother, Pierre has no wife or children. His cousins include the infamous Jacqueline Renier, darklord of Richemulot and her twin sister Louise Renier. Marie Renier, Jacqueline and Louise's mother is one of Gerard's aunts; her husband (and Jacqueline and Louise's father) was Simon Audaire.[1]

In 710 BC, Marie Renier]] murdered Simon Audaire and bestowed the Renier surname upon their children. In 726 BC, Jacqueline Renier, Gerard's niece and Marie's son, murdered Claude Renier, the Renier family patriarch, and thereby inherited much of his power. Jacqueline also murdered her own husband, Dominic Soufel in 732 BC.[1]

The passage of wererat lycanthropy from mother to daughter in the Renier family and the murder of male Reniers caused Pierre and his brother Gerard to organize the Cult of Simon Audaire in Ste. Ronges from a group of male Reniers alienated from the current Renier family status quo. There, Gerard struck a deal with dark forces in order to reanimate Simon Audiare[2][3], a figure the eponymous mummy cult came to see as a martyr figure of the nonwererat Reniers.[3]

Current Sketch

Gerard and his brother represent masterminds of criminal activity.[2] Pierre holds a morose attitude and less social than his brother who serves as priest for the cult.[2][3]. The cult meets in the Rat-Mummy Temple within the Catacombs of Ste. Ronges.[4]

Other Information

Pierre uses the twin weapons forged to kill wererats, Dogstooth and Catsclaw.[5][3]
