He is the absolute master of five villages in Dikenlidüzü. Without caring who the land truly belongs to, he forces the villagers to work like semi-slaves and seizes almost all of the proceeds of their labor. Seeing that his power is shaken by Memed's rebellion, Abdi uses every kind of intrigue to destroy Memed; he sets the gendarmerie, Ali Safa, and other bandits against him. Despite his cowardly nature, he does not compromise on his ruthlessness.
Although it is not explicitly stated how he came to dominate the region, he has rooted himself in these lands for years by relying on the tyranny of his 'father and grandfather.' Having lived for forty years without anyone questioning his authority, Memed's uprising terrifies him.
He is a man with a long, sharp face, a thin, elongated chin, small greenish-blue eyes, and a goatee. He is never seen without his velvet cap or skullcap. He wears a shirt embroidered with silk.

İnce Memed
