- ―An Assassin apprentice.[src]
After spending two decades traveling, Piri chose to do something more with his tranquil occupation; cartography. He thus established his own studio within the Grand Bazaar, and began studying and drawing out the progress of other countries. His maps were said to be "rendered in minute detail," and as such, caught the attention of the Assassins guild in Rome.[2]
Wishing to keep up with their enemies, who were spreading their influence into the New World, Ezio Auditore sent a team of his apprentices to Piri's workshop. Upon discovering that Piri had been called away to sea, the team infiltrated the studio, finding and stealing the maps they sought, which had been hidden under an ugly decoy map.[2]
A few years after this, in 1511, Piri had grown into a master mapmaker, and finally met Ezio himself in Constantinople. Befriending him, he taught the Assassin how to craft bombs.[1]
