As a result, Renée is the Organization's Eyes of the Next Generation.^[15]

History[]

Doga[]

Yoma aura[]

The Organization's Eyes of the Next Generation, Renée, is on an unknown mission in the western region of Lautrec. From atop a hill, she senses a faint Yoma aura in the vicinity of Doga. Though no Claymore warriors are in the area, it feels to her as if a warrior were taking suppressant.^[18]

Raki[]

In Doga, Renée confronts Raki with a Yoma's skullcap. She demands to know how he detected the Yoma before killing it. When he equivocates, she grabs him by the throat. But a small child intervenes. Renée at first ignores her, but suddenly retreats in a flash.^[19]

Raki tries to reassure Renée, who cannot believe he would let the "child" accompany him.^[20]

No. 47[]

Raki asks about Clare's whereabouts. Renée never heard of " this Clare person," but promises to convey a message should she meet her.^[21]

After Renée leaves, Raki pats head of Priscilla.^[22]

Talent scout[]

After Renée leaves town, she senses the aura of an awakened being. She flees, but is ambushed by Riful, who pins Renée down with tentacles.

What Renée sensed earlier was Dauf's distant aura, as well as Riful's hidden Yoma energy. As a result, Renée passed Riful's test.^[23]

Witch's Maw II[]

Prisoner[]

Renée regains consciousness. She hangs from ceiling of castle cellar. Her arm is missing. Below sits Riful.^[24]

Renée gazes in horror at the fused Luciela x Rafaela.^[26] Riful tells Renée of her goal to awaken the entity.^[27]

Renée demands that she be allowed to reattach her limbs, before probing Luciela x Rafaela.^[28]

Riful relents. Dauf lowers Renée to floor. As reattaches her limbs, she probes the entity.^[29]

Danger[]

Renée finds life fragments of someone. But when she touches it, an explosion hurls her back into the physical world.^[30]

She realizes the entity must never awaken.^[31]

Clare[]

Lacroix[]

In Lacroix, Clare and Cynthia fight a female awakened, while Yuma knocks unconscious an Organization search party. Awakened killed.^[32] But Rubel witnesses everything. Later in a private meeting, Cynthia realizes that Rubel is a mole for the Dragons' allies.^[33]

Rubel plays on their sympathies by claiming that Rafaela and Renée are being held captive by Riful. Clare suspects that Rubel is only trying to get them killed.^[34]

Dauf[]

Baited by Rubel, the warriors search for Renée and Rafaela. In forest, they encounter Dauf, who grabs Yuma's leg—Clare cuts it off. While Cynthia regenerates Yuma's leg, Clare follows Dauf into Witch's Maw II. Fight inside castle results. But Clare escapes.^[35]
