Tarik Barleti was the Captain of the Janissaries during the early 16th century. In 1511, Tarik became very distrustful of Ahmet, Suleiman's uncle. Tarik saw Ahmet not fit to lead, much to Ahmet's anger. It is also implied that Tarik ordered an assassination attempt on Suleiman to make Ahmet look weak, a task the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze was entrusted with stopping.
Tarik came into contact with Manuel Palaiologos and Shahkulu. This happened when Ezio was tailing him in the Grand Bazaar on the request of Prince Suleiman. Ezio killed him with an air assassination after sneaking into his camp wearing an outfit stolen from a Jannisary.
An inch from death, Ezio was proved wrong of accusing him of treachery, for Tarik was preparing an ambush to strike Manuel, Shahkulu and other Byzantine Templars 'when they felt safest'. Ezio did not believe him at first, but the dying Tarik produced a document that would eventually lead Ezio to the Byzantines in Cappadocia and urged him to 'destroy them if he could'. Ezio relented and begged for forgiveness. Tarik pled him to 'protect his homeland in God's name' and to 'redeem the honour they had lost in this fight.'
