Database: Murat Bin Husn

Janissary Bodyguard

Born during the Renaissance in Constantinople, Murat Bin Husn began his career as an Ottoman Janissary, part of the specially trained elite soldiers who made up the standing army as well as the Sultan's household troops.

His performance caught the attention of Ishak Pasha, the Ottoman general, who chose to assign Murat to be part of his own personal guards.

After a period of using Murat as his bodyguard, Ishak Pasha introduced him to the Ottoman Brotherhood, noting that his keen eye, skills, reflexes, general attitude and unwavering loyalty would be an excellent addition to the Assassin cause. Murat distinguished himself in Brotherhood missions as well as in his Janissary duties, and was almost invariably part of any team Ishak Pasha assembled.

In the late fifteenth century, Ishak Pasha traveled to Spain on a secret mission, bringing with him a small team of his best and most loyal Assassins, among them his trusted bodyguard Murat Bin Husn.

After the death of Ishak Pasha, Murat hid his armor, rumored to have mystical powers, in a tomb under the Hagia Sophia.
