A tough-guy friend that as a kid he was described as the type you would need to kill in a fight, because short of that, he would keep coming at you, even if you had knocked him down. Renee Ickson was like that. After Nathan's screw-come-and-dump, he wouldn't even take or return Renee Ickson's calls. Her resilience bordered on the psychopathic; certainly sociopathic. Renee Ickson was back on her feet in no time, with a new boyfriend, and a most vicious plan for Nathan.
