Renee Montoya was a detective in the Gotham City Police Department who eventually joined the Insurgency against Superman's Regime.
History
Before Metropolis
Early into her career, Renee accompanied Maggie Sawyer to try and investigate a house believed to be a hideout for some cultists sacrificing children. Rather than wait for back-up or a warrant, Sawyer enters the house to search for hostages.
The pair only succeed in finding the cultists during a ritual however. Although Renee succeeds in gunning down one of them, the dying cultist lands on her and pins her down for another cultist to kill her. Fortunately, Huntress arrives and saves them. [1]
Renee also apparently held a romantic interest for her superior, though Maggie eventually retired from the force to pursue an office job instead. [2]

Renee is later seen joining the Insurgency members in fighting the Regime forces after the Spectre locates them at the Tower of Fate. Constantine, however, lures Trigon to their location to buy them time to escape to the House of Mystery.
