Renegade isn't your average fox. What made him truly unique was the night he was born. His mother, who is unknown, gave birth to him on the full blood moon, giving him his dark crimson color and red eyes. However, his mother died right after birth, leaving him without a place to live. After a few days, a member of the Echidna clan found him lying next to his mother's body, seemingly lifeless. Taken in as an orphan, he was given training, and a new home. That is, until the attack.
A man known by the name of Dr. Ivor Robotnik launched an attack on the hidden clan's location when the fox was 17 years old. Betraying the ways of his clan and deciding to run away instead of fighting back made him a traitor to his clan, earning his name Renegade. A few days later, he was captured by one of the doctor's robots, taking him to the doctor's hidden lair. The doctor shut him inside a capsule made of titanium-reinforced glass, and began to run experiments on him. Weeks after being held prisoner, now having sprouted large black bat-like wings and an extra tail, and missing an eye, his capsule suddenly opened, alarms blaring in his ears. Renegade took this as a chance to run, and never stopped...
Renegade never let down the guilt he felt for letting down his clan, and swore an oath that he would never run away ever again.
Abilities: Being born under the blood moon not only changed his appearance, it also gave him powers unlike anything anyone had ever seen. After the escape, he searched for food and water, and learned that he could control flames with a snap of his fingers, which he learned after setting blaze to the North-eastern forest.
Along with controlling fire, he taught himself how to fly, using both his wings and tails to propel himself faster in the sky.
Renegade learned of another power that he had: Telekinesis. One of the side effects of the doctor's experiments resulted in him being able to move thousands of pounds with his mind.
Sometimes, if he gets really angry or upset, his body will turn pure black with a red aura surrounding him. This tends to be a disadvantage for him, making it hard to control his fire and telekinesis.
The gold rings on his gloves are inhibitor rings, like Shadow's, helping him channel some of his energy for flames and mind powers.
He wields one of the seven Chaos Emeralds, making him more powerful, storing it in his eye socket under his eyepatch
