Caterina Sforza was the Countess of Forlì and Imola and the daughter of Galeazzo Maria Sforza. 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 helped 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.

Caterina died on May 28th, 1509 at the age of 46 from pneumonia.
