'''Piri Reis''' (1468 - 1555), full name '''Hacı Ahmed Muhiddin Piri''', was a sea captain, cartographer, and good friend of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
At one point during his mid-teen years, Piri traveled with his uncle Kemal Reis, a Turkish pirate who mainly roamed around the edges of the [[Ottoman Empire]], turning their passion into a profession by joining Sultan Bayezid's navy some time during the 1490s.<ref name="Encyclopedia">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjU0qXXZpck ''Assassin's Creed: Encyclopedia'']</ref>

===Cartographer===

After spending two decades traveling, Piri chose to do something more with his tranquil occupation; cartography. He thus established his own studio within the [[Grand Bazaar]], and began studying and drawing out the progress of other countries. His maps were said to be "rendered in minute detail," and as such, caught the attention of the [[Assassins]] [[Assassins Guild (Rome)|guild]] in [[Rome]].<ref name="Project Legacy Contracts">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts in Project Legacy#Age of Discovery|Contracts]]</ref>

Wishing to keep up with [[Templars|their enemies]], who were spreading their influence into the New World, Ezio Auditore sent a team of his [[apprentices]] to Piri's workshop. Upon discovering that Piri had been called away to sea, the team infiltrated the studio, finding and stealing the maps they sought, which had been hidden under an ugly decoy map.<ref name="Project Legacy Contracts" />

A few years after this, in 1511, Piri had grown into a master mapmaker, and finally met Ezio himself in [[Constantinople]]. Befriending him, he taught the Assassin how to craft [[bombs]].<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>

===Death===
Piri Reis was publicly beheaded by the Ottoman Sultan [[Suleiman I]].

==Characteristics and personality==
Piri was an intelligent and witty man, who could sometimes get grumpy when being interrupted.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/>
