Piri Reis was a good friend of Ezio Auditore, a sea captain and a cartograph.

Biography

At one point during his mid-teen years, he traveled with his uncle Kemal Reis, a Turkish pirate who mainly roamed around the edges of the Ottoman Empire, turning their passion into a profession by joining Sultan Beyazid's navy some time during the 1490s.

After spending two decades on traveling, Piri chose to do something more with his tranquil occupation; cartography. Only a few years after this, when he had his own studio within the Grand Bazaar - which was at one point broken into by the Apprentices of Ezio in 1503 - and had grown into a master mapmaker, he met Ezio himself in 1511, and taught him how to craft bombs when the Assassin visited Constantinople.

Characteristics and personality

Piri Reis was an intelligent and witty man, who could sometimes get grumpy when being interrupted.
