Despite his uncle being favored over his father for the Sultanate, Suleiman maintained close ties with Ahmet.

However, upon discovering Tarik's innocence, he grew more tolerant, and even asked Ezio to spare Ahmet's life if he was able, despite knowing his uncle's ill intentions.<ref name="Revelations" />
