After arriving in Liberty City, Catalina begins discussions with and becomes the leader of the [[Colombian Cartel]] and, with some of their members (including [[Miguel]]) rob a [[Bank of Liberty|bank]] in the [[Ghost Town|city]]. After robbing the bank she shoots Claude, leaving him for dead, and explaining that he is 'small time'. She continues her criminal activities with the Cartel, increasing the production of [[SPANK]] and attacking the [[Yakuza]] on [[Staunton Island]] and the [[Leone Family]] on [[Portland Island]]. During this period, Claude managed to [[Introduction (GTA III)|escape]] from an [[LCPD in GTA III Era|LCPD]] convoy with, unintentionally, help from the Colombian Cartel (who were seeking to capture the [[Oriental Gentleman]]) and began working for Leone made man [[Luigi Goterelli]]. After proving himself, Claude begins to work for the Family [[Boss|Don]], [[Salvatore Leone]], who has him follow [[Luigi's Sex Club 7]] barman [[Curly Bob]] to [[Portland Harbor]], where he is seen to sell Leone secrets to Catalina and Miguel. Salvatore then has Claude destroy a freighter used by the Cartel to produce SPANK.

Claude later flees to Staunton Island and begins to work for Yakuza co-leader [[Asuka Kasen]] who begins to attack the Cartel following the [[Waka-Gashira Wipeout|death]] of her brother [[Kenji Kasen|Kenji]] at the hands of a 'Cartel assassin', which was really Claude working on orders from [[Donald Love]]. Love later sends Claude to [[Grand Theft Aero|collect a package]] from a construction site in [[Fort Staunton]], where he once again meets Catalina and Miguel, with Catalina shooting Miguel in the back and escaping with the package. Asuka, desperate to exact revenge for her brothers death, begins to torture Miguel for information, with Claude then using the information to attack Cartel interests, including destroying stands selling SPANK run by the [[Uptown Yardies]].

Catalina, however, strikes back and kills both Asuka and Miguel, and kidnapping [[Maria Latore]], using her as a hostage and demanding a [[Money|$]]500,000 [[Ransom (GTA III)|ransom]] be brought to the [[Cartel Mansion|Cartel headquarters]] in [[Cedar Grove]]. Claude decides to [[The Exchange (GTA III)|take the ransom money]] to Catalina and manages to escape an ambush, set up by Catalina, who escapes in a helicopter and keeps Latore hostage. Claude follows Catalina to [[Cochrane Dam]], where he destroys the [[Helicopter (GTA III)|helicopter]] with a [[Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]], killing Catalina and severely weakening the Cartel.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Catalina is portrayed as a reckless and extremely aggressive psychotic who turns on even close partners if they cease to be useful to her (as seen with Carl Johnson, Claude and Miguel). Much more of Catalina's psyche is brought to light during her conversations with Carl Johnson, frequently shooting bystanders during heists and references cannibalism. She also suffers from a persecution complex, possibly due to cruel treatment by her stepfather as a child, telling Johnson that "They had to die because YOU were slow and stupid, like a big fat brat that eats chocolates while his father gives nothing to his step daughter but stale bread!" She is supposedly based on Caterina Sforza, a medival/Italian noblewoman.  Catalina is also paranoid and that is why many players hate her.
