'''''Caterina Sforza''''' was the Countess of [[Forlì]] and Imola and the daughter of the Duke of Milan. She married the Pope's nephew, [[Girolamo Riario]], at only 14. He later became the Count of Forlì and Imola.

[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] met and saved her next to Forlì, when he was going to [[Venice]]. To reward him, she gave orders to the guard, so that he could take the ship. She then told Ezio that if he would ever need her help again, it would be her "pleasure" to assist him.

While sailing away from Forlì, Ezio stated that Caterina was "[his] next conquest" before being reprimanded by [[Leonardo da Vinci]] , who told him that it's not a good idea. Da Vinci described her as being "as powerful and dangerous as she is young and beautiful." Ezio replied that makes Caterina his "type" of lady.

After Ezio acquired the Piece of Eden, Girolamo was assassinated by the Orsi family of Forlì. Caterina and her children were taken prisoner, but were rescued by Ezio and [[Niccolò Machiavelli]]. Ezio and Niccolò fended of the Orsi's attack and succesfully protected Forlì from them.

It is said in the game that she was raped multiple times by Borgia when she is arrested.

'''''Caterina Sforza''''' died on may 28, 1509 at the 46 from pneumonia

'''Petruccio Auditore da Firenze''' is the brother of [[Ezio]], [[Claudia Auditore|Claudia]] and [[Federico Auditore]]. His father [[Giovanni Auditore|Giovanni]] is as an [[Assassin]] but he doesn't know it. He is the youngest member of the Auditore family. He is portrayed by Conner Nikides Kokolakis in both ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''. He is a descendant of [[Altaïr]].

==Biography==
===''[[Assassin's Creed: Lineage]]''===
Petruccio Auditore is a [[Florence|Florentine]] young nobleman living during the 15th century in Italy: the Renaissance. He is one of the sons of Giovanni Auditore, an Assassin. He is briefly seen during the dinner next to Claudia, before Giovanni goes to his mission.

===''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''===
[[File:QuickTimePlayer 2009-09-25_20-14-39-52.png|thumb|left|Petruccio (right) is going to be executed.]]
Near the beginning of the game, Petruccio asks his brother, Ezio to retrieve some feathers for him. Ezio must return with the feathers quickly because Petruccio is not allowed outside due to his "illness". When Ezio brings the feathers to him, he asks what are they for, Petruccio responds "It's a secret" and will tell Ezio in time. The next morning, Petruccio is executed along with Frederico and Giovanni as part of a conspiracy. After Petruccio's death, Ezio decides to collect more feathers in memory of his brother. These can be stored in a chest in the Villa Auditore in [[Monteriggioni]]. However, after that he is no longer mentioned in the game.

When 50 of these feathers are collected and in-game cutscene will play in which Ezio's uncle Mario tells him to give up. He then tells his nephew that he has a special weapon prepared for him at the Monteriggioni blacksmith. The weapon is the Condottiero Warhammer, the most powerful hammer in the game.

When the player collects all 100 of these feathers an in-game cutscene plays in which Ezio embraces his mother, who speaks for the first time since the family's deaths. She thanks Ezio for "not forgetting [her]" and presents him with the Auditore Cape. This cape makes the player notorious at all times when outside Monteriggioni, and the methods of lowering notoriety (killing corrupt [[Officials]], bribing [[Heralds]] and tearing down [[Wanted Posters]]) are not available. Removing the cape returns the player's notoriety to the level it was at before the cape was put on.

===Trivia===
* Petruccio has you collect eagle feathers which were used in the first game (and by the real Hashashin) to signify the completion of an assassination after they were swiped along the bleeding neck of the victim.
* If Petruccio's profile at the Database is read, it states that he may have died from his "illness", although it is later revealed in the mission "Last Man Standing" that he was executed.
