Ismail, being a champion of Shiite faith and partially a Turkmen, was also sympathetic to the Turkmens of Ottoman Empire. He sent agents to Ottoman lands (who usually used the unofficial title of khalif) to attract supporters. His activities did not escape the attention of the [[Ottomans]], but the Ottoman Empire was too preoccupied with the oncoming period of interregnum during the last years of the crippled sultan Bayezid II. Thus Ismail was able to gain many supporters among Ottoman subjects. One such supporter was Karabıyıkoğlu, who adopted the title Shahkulu, meaning &quot;servant of the shah&quot;. Ottoman sources however usually entitle him as Sheitankulu, meaning &quot;servant of the Devil&quot;. He was living in the territory called Tekeli, named after the former beylik of Teke in a village near Antalya, southwestern Turkey. He was both a Shiite religious leader and a rebel leader.<br /> Shahkulu defeated the forces of Ahmet Pasha and executed him. This increased the fame and the prestige of Shahkulu. To his partisans, after raiding a royal caravan and killing a high-ranking Ottoman statesman, he was invincible. A second army was sent after him. The commanders of the army were [[Şehzade Ahmet]], one of the claimants to throne, and the grand vizier Hadım Ali Pasha. They were able to corner Shahkulu near Altıntaş, but instead of fighting, Ahmet tried to win over the [[Janissaries]] for his cause. Failing to achieve, he left the battlefield. Shahkulu saw his chance and escaped. Ali Pasha with a smaller force chased him, and clashed with him at Chubukova between Kayseri and Sivas. The battle was a draw, but both Ali Pasha and Shahkulu were killed (July 1511).<br /> <br /> ==Source==<br /> *[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjU0qXXZpck&amp;feature=player_embedded ''Assassin's Creed Encyclopedia'' - The Making Of]<br /> <br /> {{ACRevelations}}<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Assassin's Creed: Revelations Characters]]</div>
