This is one of the most important scenes in the game for Ratonhnhaké꞉ton. It is the moment where he is forced to confront that reality that both the Templars and the colonists wouldn’t hesitate to kill him it he was an convenience. Further, that his people are beset on all sides by those who would end them.
And it is further heightened by Noah Watts’s excellent performance, where he dresses down both Washington for his betrayal and Haytham for using situation in a crass, naked attempt to manipulate him. I could sing it’s praises to the high heavens, but truly the scene stands on it’s own. Many other characters in this same situation would fail to see the manipulation, but Connor is wise enough to understand that the information on the attack was intentionally withheld from him in order to win his trust.
Of course, as always, Charles Lee is right there on Haytham’s orders to stoke the fires, inciting the Native peoples with his own rhetoric and propaganda. Yet another reason to want him dead.
