	*Shahkulu was the ~~third target to resist Ezio's last rites, with the others being [[Rodrigo Borgia]] during Ezio's [[Confrontation in the Vatican\|first attempt]] on~~ his ~~life in 1499, and [[Cesare Borgia]] in 1507.~~
	*Shahkulu can be translated as "servant of the Shah".
	*Shahkulu is one of four assassination targets in the ''Assassin's Creed'' series to be stabbed with the Hidden Blade while in the [[Memory Corridor]], the others being [[Majd Addin]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', [[Checco Orsi]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and [[Edward Braddock]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''.

As a child, Shahkulu was born into a Turkoman tribe in eastern Anatolia, which was oppressed by the Ottoman Empire, as it was on the edge of its boundaries. Later on in his life, an Ottoman ambush on his tribe left him orphaned and alone. Seeking revenge and a sense of belonging, Shahkulu joined the Templar Order.

	Over time, Shahkulu grew to hate the Ottoman Turks for what they had done to his people, as well any who opposed the Templar ideology, and made it his personal mission to eliminate any that stood in his Order's way.

	Shahkulu eventually became a feared Templar, and circa 1511, he formed a partnership with a fellow Templar, and heir to the fallen [[Byzantine Empire]], [[Manuel Palaiologos]]. Shahkulu aided Manuel in his attempt to restore the Byzantine remnants to their former strength, partly because he believed Manuel would reward him if the Empire was successfully restored.

	In 1512, Shahkulu retreated to the Templar headquarters in [[Derinkuyu]], Cappadocia. There, several of Tarik Barleti's spies were captured, and, as they were Ottoman Turks, Shahkulu personally killed many of them by savagely beating them to death. After a meeting with Manuel, who had reprimanded the renegade on his treatment of the Ottoman spies, Shahkulu demanded that his men bring the remaining ones to the chapel, where he intended to publicly torture and execute them.
