Yusuf Tazim (1467-1512) was a Master Assassin, and the leader of the Ottoman Assassins, operating primarily in the Empire's capital of Constantinople. He was involved in the fight against the Byzantine Templars during the early 1510s, and in aiding Ezio Auditore da Firenze - a Mentor in the Assassin Order and leader of the Italian Assassins - during his search for the Masyaf keys.
In the process, he and Ezio managed to form good relations with the Ottoman Prince Suleiman. Together, Yusuf and Ezio thwarted the Templars' plans to take over the Ottoman Empire and found the Keys hidden in Constantinople.
Biography
Early life
Yusuf was born in Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, at that time known as the "Crossroads of the World." Raised to be an Assassin from birth, he rose through the ranks to eventually become the Mentor of the Ottoman Assassins by 1511.
Meeting Ezio Auditore
In 1511, Yusuf met fellow Mentor Ezio Auditore, who arrived at Constantinople in search of the Masyaf keys. Whilst Yusuf showed Ezio around the city, he explained the current situation of the Assassin and Templars in Constantinople, as well as the conflict between the Ottomans and Byzantines. He later introduced and demonstrated some equipment the Ottoman Assassins used too Ezio, including the hookblade and various types of bombs.
Once finished, they climbed the Galata Tower, and viewed the city from above, before both leaving it by performing a Leap of Faith.
Rescuing Suleiman
That same year, Ezio and Yusuf infiltrated Topkapı Palace dressed as entertainers, so as to join the party held for Prince Suleiman, who was in danger of a Templar assassination. Ezio and Yusuf were able to find the disguised Templars and have the Ottoman Assassins silently kill them.
Death
In 1512, before Ezio Auditore set out for Cappadocia to pursue Manuel Palaiologos, he requested Yusuf to protect his love interest Sofia Sartor from harm. Yusuf agreed, and he and the other Assassins guarded Sofia's residence, the former trading post of the brothers Niccolò and Maffeo Polo.
Sofia's shop was soon raided by Byzantine Templars, who had secretly been working for Prince Ahmet. Yusuf faced off against the Templars inside the store, and managed to eliminate many of the soldiers. However, he was eventually dealt a fatal blow, being stabbed in the back. Sofia was then taken captive by the remaining attackers.
His body was later discovered on a bench in Sofia's shop by Ezio upon his return from Cappadocia, with the weapon still pierced into his back. Infuriated, this motivated him even further to strike back at Ahmet. Soon afterwards, Ezio appointed a new Master Assassin to lead the Ottoman Assassins in honor of Yusuf.
Appearance
Yusuf wore tan Assassin robes and a headband, both with teal sashes. He wielded a hidden blade, the hookblade, and throwing knives.
