Previously a handsome, unassuming young officer, he encounters Feride in the hospital (as a nurse working for Doctor Hayrullah) after being severely wounded in the war, during which he lost his arm and part of his face (a deep wound starting from the eye and eyebrow). Believing his face has become hideous, he becomes irritable, but falls in love with Feride's innocent and cheerful nature. Despite proposing to her, he honorably realizes that she accepted him out of pity and chooses to reject the proposal.
Once a polite and noble officer of the guards, he was severely injured and left disabled by a bomb during a clash in the years of World War I.
While once radiant, handsome, and tall, he later takes on the appearance of a disabled soldier with a hunched back, a bandaged arm, and a terrifying, deep red bullet/bomb scar running from his left cheek to his chin.
Feride
His one love, who looks at him like an angel of mercy, for whom he is ready to sacrifice his life, but whom he rejects with unrequited honor.
