Renton Thurston is the son of Adroc Thurston, a celebrated military hero whose legacy follows him everywhere. He's best known as the co-pilot of the Nirvash typeZERO alongside Eureka, who he's had feelings for since the moment they met. Before joining Gekkostate, he lived a quieter life with his grandfather Axel in Bellforest, working in the old man's mechanic shop and going to school—a stark contrast to the adventurer he'd become.
Renton's personality is defined by his openness and emotional intensity. He cares deeply about people and holds strong ideals, but that same passion makes him reckless; he tends to rush headfirst into situations without fully grasping what he's gotten himself into. His sister Diane was a huge influence on him growing up, and he holds onto the hope that they'll reunite someday.
The downside of his father's fame is that Renton lives with it constantly. Being recognized as Adroc's son everywhere he goes has become a burden rather than a blessing. He's struggled to step out from that shadow, especially since he's internalized a complicated relationship with his absent father—someone he felt prioritized his research over his family. That resentment and desire to forge his own path drives a lot of who he is.
