Biography
Origin
Renji Abarai (Japanese: 阿散井 恋次, Hepburn: Abarai Renji) was a male human soul who came to reside in the Soul Society where he grew up in the 78th District of Rukongai. He came to be in the Soul Society alone alongside several other children where they helped one another in search for their families. One day, Renji came to steal a jug of water where he along with his friends were being chased by an adult wielding a kama. The man was only stopped by Rukia Kuchiki who trapped the adult where she told Renji and his friends to follow her so that they would not lose the water. It was from that point on that Rukia joined their group who lived together as a family with them all hating living in the Inuzuri area and the people that resided in it.
Soul Society
Abarai and his captain Byakuya Kuchiki were both then sent to the world of the living in order to find Rukia Kuchiki and bring her back to the Soul Society. They came to find her and prepare to return her home when Ichigo Kurosaki arrived to save her. He possessed the powers of a shinigami that he gained from Rukia which allowed him to fight spiritual beings. This saw Renji battling him where they briefly fought and Ichigo gained the upper hand after a sudden release of reiatsu that was actually a random burst of resolve. This forced Captain Byakuya to step in and easily defeat Ichigo who he left alive but badly wounded.

Powers and abilities
At the Shin'ō Academy, Renji was shown to had possessed poor skill in Kidō.
As a Shinigami, he came to wield his own Zanpakutō (斬魄刀, Soul-Cutter Sword; Viz "Soul Slayer") that was called Zabimaru (蛇尾丸, Snake Tail) which in its sealed form resembled a typical katana. It had a rectangular bronze tsuba with a jagged design, and a red handle and sheath. He could unleash more of its power by releasing it through his Shikai (始解, Initial Release) by uttering the command Howl (咆えろ, hoero; "Roar" in the English dub). Once done, the blade transformed into an even longer 6-part segmented blade with each segment being wider than the one preceding it from the hilt which remained the same. There were 2 pick-like protrusions on the front and back of each segment with the ones on the front much longer than the ones on the back. Zabimaru's segments could grow in number and almost without limit where each were connected by a stretchable thread. Thus, it acted more like a whip than an actual sword though Renji's swordsmanship allowed him to wield it as a regular blade as well.
Later on, he came to spend an entire year training to fight an opponent of Aizen's strength making him far more powerful than before.
Being a Shinigami, he came to join the ranks of the Gotei 13 (護廷十三隊, Goteijūsantai; lit. "13 Division Imperial Guards"; Viz "Thirteen Court Guard Companies") where at first he rose to the position of 6th Seat of the Eleventh Division (十一番隊, jūichibantai; "Squad 11" in the English Dub). He later was promoted to the position of Lieutenant of the Sixth Division (六番隊, rokubantai; "Squad 6" in the English Dub).
