The narrator's high school friend. Once a lazy student, he has reached an executive level at a large company dealing with machinery and forestry. He is a self-confident bourgeois figure who finds satisfaction in acting patronizingly toward those around him. He hires the narrator but despises Raif Efendi, who works in the same room, and takes a strange, poisonous pleasure in constantly belittling him.
In his high school years, he was one of the foremost idlers in the class. Over the years, he entered into business and, with his 'practical and opportunist' skills, quickly became an assistant manager at a company in Ankara.
A typical executive wearing suits and open-collared shirts, possessing a self-confident posture and tone of voice.
Raif Efendi
The 'god-fearing man' whom he tries to satisfy his ego by tormenting.
İsimsiz Anlatıcı
His old school friend whom he hired, thereby assuming the role of 'benefactor'.
