The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy is the first of three episodes in the Assassin's Creed III downloadable content, The Tyranny of King Washington.
This episode focuses on the beginning of Ratonhnhaké:ton's journey to dethrone George Washington after he has been consumed by power and elected himself King of America.
Plot
The episode takes place a few months after the supposed events of Assassin's Creed III, after the British were defeated and the United States of America were granted independence.
The episode begins with Ratonhnhaké:ton asleep in the forests of the Frontier, wearing the Wolf outfit.
Ratonhnhaké:ton is woken up by his mother, Kaniehtí:io, who alerts him to a threat in the forest. He follows her, questioning why she is alive and what is going on. They meet a Bluecoat ambush attacking villagers. After dispatching the ambush, a woman warns Kaniehtí:io that King George is looking for her.
Kaniehtí:io leads Ratonhnhaké:ton to the top of the hill, all while Ratonhnhaké:ton questions his surroundings, and why the woman referred to George Washington as "King."
As they reach the top of the hill, they witness a group of Bluecoats forcing the townspeople into the church and barricading the door. The Bluecoat leader then demands that the townspeople inform him of the location of Kaniehtí:io. As the townspeople insist they do not know her location, the bluecoats set fire to the church. Connor and his mother quickly ambushed Washington's men, and liberated the townspeople, only for a cannon ball blast to kill the group before they can escape.
Later, they return to their village, where they meet another Bluecoat attack. King Washington, accompanied by Benedict Arnold and General Putnam, kills Connor's mother with the Staff of Eden. Connor then fights Washington only to be defeated by the staff from which his power originated, and was later shot 3 times and stabbed; consequently, he slipped into a state of unconsciousness. When Connor awakens in a cave, five months have passed and the Clan Mother tells Connor what happened. She notes that he wasn't surprised at witnessing his mother's death; in fact, she states that he took her murder very well. Connor was then told by the Clan Mother to climb the red oak, pick its virgin branches, and drink the oak tea. He heeds her instruction and soon gains the ability to become invisible at will, as well as summon a group of wolves to ambush his enemies. Shortly thereafter, he is requested by one of his fellow tribesmen to assist in finding and rescuing his brother. The two track his brother and discover that he is tied up along with other members of the village, who are lined up to be executed. Once Connor's tribe members are liberated, he is instructed to return to the Clan Mother for further instruction.
When he returns to their hideout, he discovers all of the villagers have been killed, and a dying Clan Mother. In her last instructions to Connor, she tells him to kill Washington, as well as Israel Putnam and Benedict Arnold, finishing what his mother started. Connor then trails Israel Putnam to a large fortress and discovers Benedict in the center of the stronghold. Once his guards have been defeated, he confronts Benedict Arnold and mortally wounds him. Before he dies, Arnold tells him to free and then talk to Benjamin Franklin in Boston. Unbeknownst to Connor, Putnam approaches from behind and hits Connor in the head with his pistol, rendering him unconscious. Once fully awake, Connor realizes that he has been captured and currently in a convoy heading for Boston. He reveals his intentions of taking Boston, claiming that it was as good as done.
