==Biography==
===Under Mirabeau===
Little is known of Trenet's early life and how she came to be an Assassin. By 1789, she had gained a position on the Assassin Council, which directed the Brotherhood's activities in Paris. With the approaching French Revolution, the council endeavored to keep the peace and decided to form a truce with the Parisian Rite of the Templar Order through their Grand Master François de la Serre to achieve this.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Graduation
Although de la Serre was murdered shortly thereafter,Assassin's Creed: Unity – High Society the Council continued to operate under the assumption that the truce was being honored. On 25 July, Trenet was present during Arno Dorian's induction into the Brotherhood. Although she voiced her doubts at Dorian's guilt weighing on him to Pierre Bellec, he quashed her worries.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Rebirth
In early 1791, when Arno brought evidence that the Templar Charles Gabriel Sivert was extorting money from nobles for an unknown purpose, Trenet and the others realized their mistake at assuming the truce was held and gave Arno permission to track down de la Serre's killers. However, Arno's zeal in this matter caused him to pursue targets without the council's permission. Trenet and her fellow Council members were outraged at this, though Mirabeau managed to calm them down.Assassin's Creed: Unity – The Jacobin Club Tensions worsened when Arno brought his Templar lover Élise de la Serre to the Assassin headquarters underneath the Sainte-Chapelle—Mirabeau saw in this an opportunity to renew the truce, but Trenet and the other council members opposed the idea.Assassin's Creed: Unity – A Cautious Alliance

In the aftermath of Mirabeau's death, Trenet and the others uncovered his correspondences with King Louis XVI. To prevent copies of these letters from falling into the hands of the Templars, she sent Arno to the Tuileries Palace to find and destroy them.
