Editing Iskender (Janissary)

{{Era|Individuals}}
'''Iskender''' was the ''chorbaji'' [[janissary]] who served under [[Selim I|Selim]]. 

==History==
In 1509, after the [[Little Judgment Day|recent earthquake]], Iskender followed Prince Selim to [[Trabzond]]. One day, he heard Selim outraged over his father, Sultan [[Bayezid II|Bayezid]] retreating to his palace in [[Adrianople]] after the earthquake. Explaining his plan to Iskender, Selim instructed his janissary to be ready of all enemies, including the [[Ottoman Brotherhood of Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] and his older brother, Prince [[Ahmet]]. While Selim took leave, Iskender explained that Ahmet most likely sent men to kill him. Within a day and a half, Iskender and his men saw Ahmet's men just outside the city and then attacked and killed them accordingly.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Recollection]]'' — [[Missions (Recollection)|Missions]]: Under Influence</ref>

Two weeks later, Iskender and his janissaries met with Selim at [[Varna]] and discussed with him that the [[Assassins]] have been tracking their movements. Realizing the Sultan's alliance with the Assassins, Iskender began to worry about the janissaries' support for Selim becoming public. While fortifying the camp, they soon welcomed Selim's son [[Suleiman I|Suleiman]], who came to travel with his way to Kefe, where he will serve as governor while he finished his studies. Realizing the Assassins may be coming for them, Iskender and his men made to prioritize Selim's safety and hide their true allegiance until the time comes for the next Sultan.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Recollection]]'' — [[Missions (Recollection)|Missions]]: Desperate Measures</ref>
