"I have long forsaken old ties with my family. I'm a nameless orphan in the service of God, my pope, and the Borgia family."
―Ascanio Sforza[src]

Ascanio Sforza is a powerful cardinal and vice chancellor in the church.

Information[]

One of the Borgias' most trusted confidantes also happens to be a Sforza, Catherina's cousin. He's a powerful cardinal who becomes chancellor in a deal with Rodrigo Borgia to elect Borgia as pope.[1] Ascanio arranged the marriage between Lucrezia Borgia and his cousin, Giovanni Sforza.[2] With the two families locked in a dangerous power struggle, the good cardinal just might be the key to its resolution, depending on which side he chooses to take.[3]
