Renée Sieyès (XXXX-YYYY) was a Chênique statesman, diplomat, and an Hommes d'État d'Augusta who would eventually serve as the president of East Chenes from AAAA-BBBB. He is considered to be the leader of the Chênique Delegation at the Augusta Convention that would unify the country and was the primary proponent of integration of the immigrant Chênique and native Sadagonac, alongside an alliance with the Tsalagi. He would eventually create the Paroles du Chêne that would spread from the Augusta Convention. Eventually he found the Merchants Party. After his term as President, he would serve as the second Statesman of the Government under Christophe Monnier. He was the third Statesman of Commerce under the Assaminasqua until his retirement.

Renée was born in the trading village of Vignobles in what is the state of Quénnebec to a local beaver pelt merchant. As one of several sons, he often traveled with his family across several trading posts on the way to Ville de Augusta in an attempt to peddle beaver pelts. Dissatisfied with the development of local trading posts beyond a single building that did not unify the Chênique, he abandoned his merchant upbringing and settled in Ville de Augusta to serve as a Statesman for Ville de Augusta. At that time, Ville de Augusta was one of the very few central points of recognizable government and the only one with its own mint, the Augusta Tradesman Mint.

Renée had large plans at the time and worked with several other statesman. He grew very close with Emmanuel Barthélemy, another statesman who was the founder of the mint. The two collaborated on Lettres des Commerçants that was eventually proposed to the other Augusta statesman. It proposed that Augusta begin to expand its outreach to the native Sagadonac and begin influencing the town and local tribal government of Penobscot with a promise to the Sagadonac to integrate the state government with native Abenaki. While the trade routes of the Abenaki were established, the Chênique improved on the conditions of travel with trading posts and the conditions of road via crude pavement and clearance.
