	Tarik was born under the name of Skender Barleti in 1470. A [[Christianity\|Christian]] [[Albania\|Albanian]], he was the second eldest son of an impoverished family, in which he had four brothers and three sisters. His previous life was made irrelevant when the Ottoman's {{Wiki\|Devşirme\|Devshirme system}} levied him into their ranks, and he eventually became one of the Janissaries.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' - [[Database: Tarik Barleti]]</ref>		Tarik was born under the name of Skender Barleti in 1470.

	As one of the Sultanate's elite soldiers, Tarik became extremely loyal to the Ottoman Empire, and after some time, he became the Janissaries' Captain. By then, his admiration for Prince Selim and his hatred for Selim's brother Ahmet became very well known among his peers, and other noteworthy figures of the Empire.<ref name="Database"/>		As one of the Sultanate's elite soldiers, Tarik became extremely loyal to the Ottoman Empire, and after some time, he became the Janissaries' Captain.

	At an early age, Tarik excelled in combat, and was able to endure the Janissaries' extremely rigorous training. In time, he had forgotten about his life before being levied, and began to show unwavering loyalty to the Ottoman Empire, with his skill and loyalty eventually granting him the position of Captain.

	As Captain, Tarik was a proud and ambitious man, matched by his capability. Valuing law and order, Tarik enforced the city rules through any means, which were often cruel towards the people. This resulted in most civilians hating him and his men, though subsequently earning them the respect of most authority figures.

	Due to the political rights that the Janissaries held, Tarik was free to speak his mind about political matters, and whenever he spoke, he would be frank and direct about his opinion to most his comrades. His revelations of his honest opinions led to him being suspected of treason by Suleiman.		As Captain, Tarik was a proud and ambitious man, matched by his capability.

	Tarik valued strength of mind and body above words and doctrine.

	Barleti was also a man of cunning and strategy, as was seen in his planned ambush for the Byzantines. However, he was also very secretive about his ploys, only discussing his plans to his closest subordinates and men. Unfortunately, such secrecy resulted in his death, as his actions led Prince Suleiman to the conclusion that he was a traitor. He regretted this in his last moments and accepted full blame for his hubris.		Barleti was also a man of cunning and strategy, as was seen in his planned ambush for the Byzantines.
