Valide Ismihan Sultan

Ismihan Sultan, also called Valide Sultan is the mother of Sultan Kayqubad III. A cunning woman, she wants to restore the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum to its former glory, and seek independence from the Ilkhans while also wanting to brutally suppress all the independent Turkmen Beys in Anatolia. She is called to the frontiers by Bayindir Bey, who wants to stop Osman.
S3:
There is no mention of her in S3, as in the start and mid she has little to no role as Mesud II was in power. However, after the timeskip to 1299, her son has ascended to the throne but there is still no mention of her.
S4:
There is still no mention of her until atleast mid S4 when Bayindir writes a letter to her and we see her reading the letter while crushing a parrot for her anger to Osman. She sets out to Sogut. When she arrives, she plots a lot of plans against Osman wanting to kill him, including spreading a plague in Sogut. She caused Osman to give up on his lands which he conquered. But Osman took it back. 
She tries almost everything to kill Osman, but it doesn't work. After failed a lot of failed plans and being exposed in front of everyone for being the one to kill Esma (Alcicek's servant and friend), she sets out to Konya. She flees Konya along with her son due to Esrigun Hatun, the Ilkhanate's Ruler Gazan's adoptive daughter and commander ordering it. Esrigun makes Mesud II ascend the throne back. Ismihan and her son are taken captive by Osman when they are ambushed by lying that they have Alcicek. She flees to Tabriz with her son to talk to Gazan and make her son Alaeddin back on the throne.
