Yusuf Tazim: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:14, 12 October 2011

Yusuf Tazim was a Mentor of the Ottoman Assassins. Operating primarily in his hometown Constantinople, he was primarily involved in the fight against the Byzantine Templars during the early 1510s and Ezio Auditore da Firenze's - the Mentor of the Italian Assassins' - search for the Masyaf keys.

In the process, he and Ezio managed to make good relations with the Ottoman Royal House, primarily Şehzade Suleiman and Şehzade Ahmet, and thwarted the Templars' plans to take over the Ottoman Empire and find the Masyaf 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 Ottoman Assassins' Mentor by 1511.^[1]

Meeting with Ezio Auditore

In 1511, Yusuf met the Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, when he arrived by boat in Constantinople. Yusuf showed Ezio around the city, giving him a Hookblade in the process and introducing him to the various types of bombs that the Ottoman Assassins used. Together, they climbed the Galata Tower and viewed the city from above, until they both performed a Leap of Faith to bottom level.^[1]

Rescuing Suleiman

In 1511 or 1512, Ezio and Yusuf dressed as entertainers and infiltrated a party for Prince Suleiman in the Topkapı Palace, who was in danger of a Templar assassination. Ezio and Yusuf were able to find and have the secret Templars who infiltrated the party killed, and gained good relationships with the Ottoman Royal House in the process.^[1]

Appearance

Yusuf wore tan Assassin robes and a headband, both with teal sashes. He wielded the Hidden Blade, the hookblade, and Throwing Knives, and was adept at the art of bomb-crafting.
