Nalan Tazim
Nalan Tazim was a Turkish pastry cook. Through her marriage to an Ottoman Assassin,[1] she was the mother of Yusuf Tazim and an ancestor of Emir.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1475, when Yusuf was eight years old, the two of them fled their home city of Bursa in the middle of the night and went to Constantinople where they settled. There, Nalan worked for the vendor Bekir bin Salih, cooking pastries in the city's bazaar, while the young Yusuf was their delivery boy. As his mother struggled to make a decent living for the two of them, Yusuf used his agility to become a skilled pickpocket.[2]
In April 1480, Nalan decided that it was time to give Yusuf some answers about his late Assassin father after witnessing Yusuf and his friends' activities. She gave the boy his father's Hidden Blade that the Brotherhood had returned to her after her husband's death, and revealed to Yusuf that his father had fought against those who sought to dominate others and intended his son to do the same when the right time came.[2]
