Renton Thurston - Character Outline

Character Outline

Renton thinks his life is mundane and dreams of doing the extraordinary. At the beginning of the series, he becomes a member of Gekkostate in order to be near his idol, Holland, and his love at first sight, Eureka. In seasons one and two, the other crew members generally see Renton as Gekkostate's "busboy", doing chores such as cooking and cleaning. He occasionally rides with Eureka in the Nirvash typeZERO and is able to lift. The constant conflict with Holland makes Renton quit the Gekkostate and then bails out of the Gekko-Go (crew). He spends time on the ship of Charles and Ray Beams. He then leaves them after finding out shocking news from Charles on how their mission is to capture Eureka and the Nirvash: Type Zero. He returns to Gekkostate only to Warn them that they were walking into a trap and to protect Eureka at all cost. He then rejoins Gekkostate in the third season. In the third season, Renton is shown to mature a bit. Eureka and Renton continue to pilot the typeZERO, and his relationship with Eureka deepens, though the kids (Maurice, Maeter, and Linck) still refuse to regard Renton as their "papa". In season four Renton matures even further, coming into his own as a father to the kids and willing to sacrifice his own life to be able with Eureka forever.

Some time in the future (aproximatly seven to ten years), Renton and Eureka were conducting an experiment to see why Scub Coral was vanishing (using the Gekko as part of it). At this time, Eureka was pregnant with their daughter, and temporarily vanished into the past, where she met their future son. Some time after Eureka returned to the present, Renton was being hailed as genius for combining his knowledge of LFOs and Scub Coral, creating the new Nirvash that vanished with Eureka (pregnant with their son) once more.
