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.

She had Girolamo killed by the Orsi brothers because of a number of reasons, including being "boring in bed" and a "lazy father". When Ezio came to store the Piece of Eden in Forli, the Orsi brothers came to the city once again to try and take control, taking Caterina's children hostage as a guise to steal the piece of Eden. They succeeded until Ezio found and killed them both before having the Apple stolen again from him by Savonarola.

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