Biography

Early life

Joining the Byzantine Templars

In 1509, an earthquake struck Constantinople, at which point Bayezid had disappeared from Constantinople. In his absence, Byzantine Templars - remnants of the fallen Byzantine Empire - were only to easily enter the city, and strived to revive their fallen empire. Led by Manuel Palaiologos, the Byzantine Templars caught the eye of Ahmet, who expressed interest in the Templar ideology.[1]

Ahmet, much younger and more charismatic than the elderly Manuel Palaiologos, slowly slipped into the position of leader of the Byzantine Templars, with Manuel becoming his second-in-command.[2] At the same time, Bayezid and Selim had engaged in a conflict, as Selim was making efforts to gain the Ottoman throne for himself.[1]
