Ezio Auditore: "Yusuf thought highly of you, Assassin. And I find no reason to second guess this judgment. Do you have it in your heart to lead these men and women, to maintain the dignity of our order, as Yusuf did with such passion?"

Dogan: "It would be an honor."

Ezio Auditore: "Bene. I'm glad."

—Mentor Ezio Auditore and Dogan

Dogan greeting Ezio Auditore

Dogan was a male Assassin, and member of the Turkish branch of the Assassin Brotherhood. Residing in Constantinople, Dogan served under the leadership of the Master Assassin, Yusuf Tazim, and earned a place as one of Tazim's trusted lieutenants. Through his dutiful service, Dogan came to be viewed highly in the opinion of Yusuf. In the year 1511, Mentor Ezio Auditore da Fireze, leader of the Assassins in Italy, journeyed to Constantinople. Dogan met with Ezio when the Italian Mentor visited the city's Assassin headquarters, where he was introduced by Yusuf. Not long after, the Byzantine Templars in the city staged a two-pronged attack, targeting the Assassin Den near Galata Tower, and striking at another den in the vicinity of the Grand Bazaar. While the Turkish Assassin leader, Yusuf, rushed to defend the den near the bazaar, Ezio joined with Dogan to rally the Assassins in defense of the Galata den. Once successful, Dogan remained at the den to treat the few Assassins that had sustained injuries during the battle, while Ezio departed to aid Yusuf.

Early in the year 1512, Yusuf Tazim was slain while defending Sofia Sartor—a romantic interest of Ezio—from Templar aggressors. Dogan gathered at a cemetery nearby Galata Tower with numerous other Assassins to bury and commemorate their fallen leader. When Ezio arrived at the cemetery, the Italian Mentor lamented the fact that they did not have time to properly grieve for their lost friend at that moment, as the Templar leader, Ottoman Prince Ahmet, moved against the Assassins' interests. With the knowledge that Yusuf had held Dogan in high esteem, Ezio declared Dogan to be Yusuf's replacement, and an honored Dogan ascended to the head of the Turkish Assassins. Under Ezio's direction, Dogan coordinated and participated in the Mentor's meeting with Ahmet wherein the Italian Assassin traded the artifacts he had collected in exchange for the return of the kidnapped Sofia.
