'''Yusuf Tazim''' was a [[Grand Master of the Assassin Order|Mentor]] of the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[Assassins]], operating primarily in his hometown of [[Constantinople]]. He was involved in the fight against the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine]] [[Templars]] during the early 1510s, and in aiding [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] - the Mentor of the [[Italy|Italian]] Assassins - during his [[Search for the Seals|search for the Masyaf keys]].

In the process, he and Ezio managed to form good relations with the Ottoman Royal House, particularly Şehzade [[Suleiman I|Suleiman]] and Şehzade [[Ahmet]]. Together, they thwarted the Templars' plans to take over the Ottoman Empire and find the [[Keys of Altaïr|Masyaf keys]] hidden in Constantinople.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Yusuf was born in Constantinople, the heart of the [[Ottoman Empire]], at that time known as the "Crossroads of the World." Raised to be an Assassin from birth, he rose through the ranks to eventually become the Ottoman Assassins' Mentor by 1511.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

===Meeting with Ezio Auditore===

In 1511, Yusuf met a fellow Mentor, Ezio Auditore, when he arrived by boat in Constantinople. Yusuf showed Ezio around the city, giving him a [[Hookblade]] in the process and introducing him to the various types of [[bombs]] that the Ottoman Assassins used. Together, they climbed the [[Galata Tower]], and viewed the city from above, before both leaving it by performing a [[Leap of Faith]].<ref name="Revelations"/>

===Rescuing Suleiman===
That same year, Ezio and Yusuf infiltrated [[Topkapı Palace]] dressed as [[Civilians#Minstrels|entertainers]], so as to join the party for Prince Suleiman, who was in danger of a Templar assassination. Ezio and Yusuf were able to find the disguised Templars and have the Ottoman Assassins silently kill them.<ref name="Revelations"/>

==Appearance==
Yusuf wore tan Assassin robes and a headband, both with teal sashes. He wielded the [[Hidden Blade]], the hookblade, and [[Throwing Knives]], and was adept at the art of bomb-crafting.

His headband looks somewhat like the one in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Persia_(2008_video_game) Prince of Persia '08] possibly a subtle reference to it.
