The son of Kasım Paşa and one of the famous and womanizing young men of the era. He is a shallow salon man who has lived in Europe, is stylish, spoiled, and popular among women. Although he initially wins Seniha’s heart with his charm and experience, he crumbles under his own lack of willpower, gambling addiction, and Seniha’s dominant personality. By the end of the game, he ends up being the hunter hunted; he turns into a pathetic, shattered, and helpless man vowing revenge after Seniha carelessly uses and discards him, crushing his pride.
He is the son of Kasım Paşa, an old acquaintance of Naim Efendi. Having wasted his life for many years in European gaming houses and hotels, he was brought back to Turkish youth as an idol of the Frankish style of life. In reality, he is an unemployed, aimless heir who has squandered his father’s fortune.
Light-brown-haired, thin, tall, with well-groomed hair; his eyes have a tired yet feverish gaze. His movements have a European agility, but toward the end, his face becomes bloated and wretched due to filth, lack of sleep, and alcohol.
Cemil
A companion in gambling, drinking, and entertainment; there is no deep bond of friendship between them.
Seniha
First his prey, then his hunter. Because of her, he goes bankrupt both spiritually and in terms of reputation.
Hakkı Celis
Hakkı Celis, whom he initially mocked and looked down upon, finally turns into a strange drinking companion/listener to whom he pours out his heart at the bar.
Kasım Paşa
His father has lost hope in him, allows him to live recklessly, but his wallet is closed.
