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 demands 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.
