Sümbül Ağa

Sümbül Ağa is a major character of Magnificent Century TV show. He's the main eunuch in the Sultan Süleyman Khan's harem. He's played by Selim Bayraktar.
== Overview ==
He's first introduced when Hürrem Sultan (then still a simple slave) only is delievered to the Sultan Süleyman Khan's harem. He is one of the people here that nurture all the concubines, who later go to Sultan Süleyman Khan's private chamber. He prepares Hurrem as well. After the Sultan goes to a war campaign, Hurrem asks Sumbul to teach her how everything works here and he does so. Later, he attempts to cover the fact that Mahidevran attacked Hurrem and beated her to near-death. But the Sultan finds it out. He continues to serve the Ottoman dynasty for years. Later, Gul Aga returns as Hurrem's servant and Sumbul shows a clear pregudice to him (the same pregudice he will show to Mercan Aga, Cah Sultan's servant). After Gul Aga is exiled from the harem, Sumbul becomes Hurrem's closest servant and best friend (although he showed loyalty to her even before). He even commits murders under her order sometimes. After Hurrem's death, he becomes a loyal servant to Hurrem's daughter Mihrimah. After Mihrimah leaves Istanbul, Sumbul himself does not stay long and also leaves the harem.
== Personality ==
Sümbül is one of the funniest characters of the Magnificent Century. However, behind his comedy there is a tragic backstory (much more tragic than, for example, Ibrahim). Also Sümbül sometimes behaves like a complete jerk. For example, one day he thought that Nigar was constantly idle, so, seeing that she was communicating with the artist Leo, Sümbül went and gossiped to Ibrahim Pasha. This led to Leo being killed by Ibrahim Pasha. The series does not indicate whether Sümbül found out about what happened to Leo or not. However, deep down, Syumbyul is not such a bad person as he might seem at first glance. He is very kind. He is devoted to the Ottoman dynasty with soul and body. His extreme loyalty towards the Ottoman dynasty is constantly highlighted by Hurrem and Mihrimah.
