Renault brothers
Encyclopedia : R : RE : REN : Renault brothers
The Renault brothers are a trio of fictional characters on the 1990-1991 primetime ABC series Twin Peaks, created by David Lynch/Mark Frost
They are Franco-Columbians and heavily involved in various kinds of crime, especially drug running. The three have connections with "One Eyed Jacks (Twin Peaks)", the casino cum brothel, just over the border in British Columbia.
- Bernard - (Clay Wilcox ) Drug runner, and youngest.
- Jacques - (Walter Olkewicz) croupier at "One Eyed Jacks", bar tender at the Roadhouse, drug-runner, had sexual relationship with Laura Palmer. He has several jobs on the go.
- Jean - (Michael Parks) he is the eldest and classiest of the three, and hides his ruthlessness behind charm. He is the one who has the biggest role in the series.
Bernard is the first picked up, and interrogated by the Bookhouse Boys ("I ain't no mule"), refusing to answer all their questions properly. However, he manages to warn Jacques to stay away from the roadhouse, because something is afoot. He is later murdered and left in the woods by Leo Johnson.
Jacques is an overweight bartender who had sex with Laura before she was killed. He is questioned incognito by Dale Cooper at "One Eyed Jacks", and produces a clue in the shape of a broken casino chip which had been bitten by Laura Palmer. He is fooled into returning to Twin Peaks, and is ambushed there. He is just about to pull his gun, when he is shot by Deputy Andy Brennan, whose gun toting skills have somewhat improved. He ends up in hospital, where he is suffocated by Leland Palmer.
Whereas Jacques resorts to prostitutes, it is Jean who is the eldest and classiest of the three. He is keen to take over "One Eyed Jacks" for himself, and courts Blackie, the madame. When Audrey Horne tries to go undercover in "One Eyed Jacks", and is caught and held to ransom, Jean delivers the ransom demand and video to her father Benjamin Horne. He tries to win the favour of Audrey, by pretending to be her friend, but ends up falling foul of both camps when Cooper and Sheriff Truman gatecrash "One Eyed Jacks" and rescue Audrey. Jean escapes but is later killed when Cooper gets wind of a drug deal going on between Jean and Twin Peaks resident convict Hank Jennings at Dead Dog Farm.
