Davie Renton was Rent Boy and Billy’s brother; he was fully paralyzed and died before the events of the novel. Other kids made fun of Davie’s condition, and they made fun of Rent Boy and Billy as a result. Davie’s paralyzed condition has strong parallels to Rent Boy’s own condition while high, particularly during the “Junk Dilemmas” interludes in the book.
