Biography
Early life
As a child, Suleiman was usually confined to his quarters much like many of his predecessors for his own safety from assassination. At the age of 17, the future Sultan was installed as a provincial governor by his grandfather, Sultan Bayezid II. Suleiman became a secret ally of the Assassin Order, and learned much from the Order's Mentor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Additionally, Ezio saw a lot of potential in Suleiman and noted that he would become a great leader one day.
Death
Suleiman died in 1566 during the Siege of Szigetvár in the Kingdom of Hungary.
