'''Renault''' (Japanese: {{hl|レナート|Renaato}} ''Renato''; PAL: ''Renaud''), is a [[bishop]] who appears in {{FE7}}. Appearing as the second to last recruitable character in ''Fire Emblem'', Renault is most well-known for his complex and mysterious backstory.

Renault is an unorthodox unit, with several aspects no other units share. He joins very late into the game, at a very high base level and promoted. This makes training him unnecessary, since he has very few levels to gain and gains EXP at a snail's pace.

Renault's base stats are more reminiscent of a [[Hero]] or [[Swordmaster]] than they are of a [[Bishop]]. Renault has very high speed and skill, as well as good defense, resistance, and HP. With this combination, his durability blows other staff users out of the water. However, Renault's magic stat is mediocre at best, and as a [[Bishop]], he only has access to light magic for offense. Light magic has the lowest might of all magic types, making Renault's damage output even worse. While he will double many enemy types thanks to his high speed, his damage per attack will be negligible. Renault can level up his light magic rank to S-rank so he can use [[Aureola]], but since he joins so late, there is not much time.

Renault's main utility does not stem from his combat, though. First, he joins with a [[Fortify]] staff - a rare and powerful staff that requires an A rank in staves to use. The Fortify staff heals all allies within the user's range - a useful tool for the rest of the game. On Eliwood Mode, this is the only obtainable Fortify staff; on Hector Mode, there is only one more. While any unit with an A rank in staves can use it, only [[Pent]] and [[Athos]] have that rank at base, other than Renault himself. Any other unit requires investment to use the Fortify staff, but Renault can use it from the moment he joins.

This is Renault's main advantage as a unit - he is an investment-free A-rank staff user. Even if the player gives Fortify to someone else, Renault can still use other staves, like [[Physic]]. And even if the player deploys both Pent and Athos in Endgame, Renault can still contribute. His combat may be subpar, but he is durable enough to take a hit or two, even from Endgame enemies. And above all, he requires no resources - the player can give him a random high-rank staff and he will contribute.
