Shahkulu

==Summary==
Shahkulu (died 1512) was a Turkmen renegade, who became an orphan after an Ottoman attack on his tribe. Homeless, Shahkulu joined the Byzantine Rite of the Templar Order, and dedicated his life to his new cause.
By 1511, he had become the leader of the Shahkulu rebellion – a widespread pro-Shia and pro-Safavid uprising in Anatolia, directed against the Ottoman Empire.
In 1512, Shahkulu retreated to the Templar headquarters in Derinkuyu, Cappadocia. There, several of Tarik Barleti's spies were captured, and, as they were Ottoman Turks, Shahkulu personally killed many of them by savagely beating them to death. After a meeting with Manuel, who had reprimanded the renegade on his treatment of the Ottoman spies, Shahkulu demanded that his men bring the remaining ones to the chapel, where he intended to publicly torture and execute them. The Ottoman Spy Dilara and the Mentor of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, caught wind of this, and thus, Ezio confronted Shahkulu and killed the renegade for his brutal and sadistic actions.
In 2012, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the Templar company Abstergo Industries, in the second stage of training for their Animus recruits, under the title of the Renegade.
