He is the administrative officer of the Mir'at-ı Şuûn newspaper. He is a loving, plump old man who hides the cynicism of his years in the press life behind a soft exterior. While he abhors Raci and his sycophants, he has deep respect for Ahmet Cemil's talent and pure heart, and tries to back him up like a patron. He is at the center of the events at the establishment and is aware of many intrigues involving writers and owners. Although he is a remnant of a bohemian lifestyle, having spent his years at drinking tables and coffeehouses, he is one of Ahmet Cemil's sanctuaries due to his life experience.
He has experienced all the hypocrisy and money games of newspapers, printing houses, and the Babıali for decades, and has seen his hair grow grey in this environment. He is an honest person who could never achieve great wealth or fame and remained in the background as a routine clerk of the management.
He is short, round-faced, fat, and pot-bellied; his face is bright red, and he has a fez and a beard that is sparse at the ends, looking as if it had been plucked. He is branded by his forty-year-old dark green alpaca umbrella, which he never leaves behind.
