Renee is Chas Chandler‘s wife. She is seen ragging on Chas for things that usually lead back to John Constantine, Chas’ best friend, as she has a strong dislike of John. She is the mother of Geraldine Chandler.
Renee has left Chas before, after he was possessed by Nergal. Chas was gone for a while, and during that time had been possessed by Nergal, leaving bits of Nergal inside him. So when Chas got home he beat Renee. So she left him.
Things came to a head during the series ‘Chas: The Knowledge’. However, after Chas made sure to rescue ‘Our Nicky’ from a various series of problems, Renee and Chas sat down and talked things through like mature adults.
