Amadeo Boccanegra/Relationships

## Republic of Li'solani

### Roni Boccanegra

He was his uncle and they had been together since Amadeo was a little child. The two were always seen together throughout the series and seemed to be very close. They seemed to work well together and Roni appeared to admire his nephew for his abilities. He also complimented him and flattered him for being able to determine the winds, making it very likely that he played a part in Amadeo's future arrogant and confident personality.

When he protected him from the arrows sent from Donatello's fleet and died from his wounds, it appeared as if Amadeo grieved his death. The two seemed to care for the other very much.

### Donatello Doria

To say that he admired the Doge of Li'solani would be a lie but he certainly respected him. Amadeo seemed to be aware of that he was two-faced but that he believed that he was at least genuine towards his own people. When he met them on the Centro Seas, he was relieved and claimed that they were in luck. However, when Donatello ordered that his soldiers attacked them, Amadeo's relief was traded with anger.

He cursed him and called him a traitor, visibly shocked by Donatello's actions. When he has been wounded by an arrow, his anger seems to have faded, traded with grief for his uncle and disappointment in the Doge of Li'solani.

## Republic of Venedik

### Gino Boccanegra

Not much is known about their relationship during the naval battle but it is clear that Gino had left them twelve years ago to serve Venedik, which must have been an act of treason in Amadeo's eyes. Roni claimed that Gino left because he was jealous of Amadeo's abilities but that accusation is never confirmed. That being said, they seemed to be on very good terms when they were younger and Amadeo's abilities first started to show.

### Antonio Lucio

It's likely that Amadeo's hate for him has been fuelled by Gino's betrayal, as his uncle appeared to be very loyal towards the Queen of Centro. That being said, Amadeo is shown to have a very hostile opinion of Antonio and repeatedly criticises him and his actions.

It is home to several powerful political entities: The Balt-Rhein Empire, Greater Turkiye, the City State of Venedik, the Kingdom of Urado, along with many smaller city states spanning its Central and Southern areas. The political and military struggle between the continent's major powers, particularly the expansion through force of the Balt-Rhein Empire, is the main driving factor in the story's development.

2. Rumeliana can also be translated in turkish properly, two words become Rumeli and ana so Rumeli means to lands of Romans and ana means to ''**mother**''so Rumeliana means to ''**Mother of all Lands of Ancient Roman people**.''

At his tender age of 15, he already made a blue print of munition-powered battle cannons, a deadly revolutionary weapon just like Şark Yay is.

The Four Vices

*The Four Vices or the Vices of the Mind, are regarded as a gateway to corruption and a mortal’s most greatest foe. For without repelling the Four Vices none can truly master or understand the meaning of the Three Virtues. This text was written by Grand Master Cassius Palenix.*

## Lust

Intense and uncontrolled desire. Not all lust consists of uncontrolled sexual wants, but the uncontrolled desire for money, food, fame or power.

Lust is the attachment to and passionate desire for certain things in existence, all of which owe to the form, sensation, perception, mentality and consciousness that certain combinations engender within our well being. Lust is thus the ultimate cause of general imperfection and the most immediate root cause of a certain suffering.

## Wrath

Inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Wrath presents with self-destructiveness, violence and hate that may provoke conflict that can endure for centuries. Wrath may remain long after the person who committed a grievous error is dead.

Impatience, vengeance and self-harm are various manifestations of wrath.

## Vainglory

Self-idolatry, in which one likens their self to the radiance of the Holy Light for the sake of their own image. The belief that one is essentially superior than others, failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of the personal self.

Vainglory is regarded as the denial of truth.

## Sloth

Sloth can be defined as physical or spiritual lack of initiative. Failing to develop spiritually will lead to becoming guilty of sloth. Sloth as well represents the failure to do things that one should do. Evil exists when good mortals fail to act.

Şark Yay

**Şark Yay**, is a type of firearm that uses gunpowder and currently in use by several factions mainly Turkiye Stratocracy during the Rumeliana war.

## History

Due to Kusanagi's demise, it's stated by Silah Ismail that the art of Şark Yay making is lost forever, thus no one across Rumeliana have ever encountered or produced such instruments of slaughter. As far it goes, the Mizrak Stratocracy were the first ones in the entire continent of Rumeliana to have successfully acquired some of them, notably The Yeniçeri who made great use of the firearms.

Bayezid mentioned that he got 77 of them from a fellow Navarat worshipper that came to Liman from a small eastern country that would later got conquered by Cinili. The country's name is revealed to be Kusanagi.

## Variants

### **Firearms**

A hand held portable gun equipped with various of firing mechanisms such as the Matchlock, Miquelet etc.. These are capable of penetrating many forms of metallic armor and shields, rendering them completely useless. However they are inaccurate unless they are used by a skilled marksman, therefore general usage requires volley fire in groups in order for them to be effective. Additionally, they take a relatively long amount of time to reload compared to conventional bows, and cannot be easily reloaded while on the move due to the awkwardness of the motion.

#### ***Stratocracy***

The firearms used by the Bayezid's Yeniçeri is closely related to the real life arquebus, but features a similar appearance to the later musket due to it's size and shape. The overall design resembles a Turkish Musket with matchlock firing mechanism.

First demonstration
### **Cannons**

Larger than regular "Şark Yay", cannons are firearms capable of firing at a great distance. The large projectile delivers a mighty impact, more often ideally used for "Castle Crushers". Vasco took the first step with his blueprint of creating monstrous artillery such as the bombards.

#### ***Stratocracy***

Built upon the approval of Vasco's schematics, Turkiye produced multiple super-guns, which due to their size would require the help of Oxen to be transported in two pieces on a huge cargo cart. They were used extensively during the Siege of Mur, these large cannons are called "Uyandırma".

#### ***Republic of Venedik***

Aside from their Phoenix Fire, a successor to Greek Fire, their small-bronze **Şark Yay** cannons can be seen on fixed mounts on their ships. The technology may have been shared among the alliance. It is plausible that they were derived from Vasco's products.

He usually wears his Venetian Navy uniform, which consists of a black shirt-trousers set, a white cravat, and a white, long robe which he usually use to store various kinds of weapons.

## Abilities

Since Brega noticed Abiriga's innate fighting potential, Abiriga obtained various forms of training in martial and warfare arts, molding him into a man with superb fighting capabilities.

Turkiye Stratocracy

**Turkiye Stratocracy** is one of the fictional countries in Shoukoku no Altair universe and the core member of the United Kingdom of Greater Turkiye. It's based on real-life Ottoman Empire.

## Location

   It's located at the eastern part of Rumeliana region. It shares a border with two countries: Balt-Rhein Empire at the West and Kingdom of Urado at the North. It also shared a border with a lot of city states at its southern territory. The landscape of Turkiye is quite rocky with several hills and decent vegetation.

## History

It's stated that nomadic horse-riding tribes are actually newcomers in the Rumeliana region. They came to Rumeliana approximately 500 years prior the main storyline.

Later, the tribes joined forces together and formed the Turkiye Stratocracy 76 years prior the main storyline, and started a sedentary lifestyle.

## Administration

Turkiye Stratocracy's territory is divided into 13 *eyalet* (provinces)and 4 special regions excluding Altun, the capital. While each of the 13 provinces is governed by a single vizier, the 4 special regions have a separate government system led by a sultan, making them become like a sort of little kingdoms in a country.

As from chapter 76 of the manga, Chielo is a new province of Turkiye, marking the first Turkish expedition since the foundation of Turkiye Stratocracy 76 years ago.

## Military

Because of its horsemen tribes' heritage, Turkish Army relies heavily on horse. Every personnel in its army is required to master the art of riding horse since their days in Academy. In battles, they use the horse not only as means of transportation, but also as means to attack the enemies.
Turkiye has two cavalry division in use: Sipahi and Akıncı.

Because it only has one port at Liman, Turkiye doesn't have any (known) Navy units.

Aside from horse mastery, infantry personnel such as the Greater Turkiye's standing national or universal infantry Yeniçeri and others work as "organized power" rather than individual. By dedicated arduous training which includes learning new tactics from different locations and times to adapt.

This therefore allows the stratocracy to catch up in a new 'modern warfare' compared to other nations such as the Balt-Rhein Empire.

Template:Character Infobox-202

**Abiriga** (アビリガ, *Abiriga*) is one of the main characters of Shoukoku no Altair. He was a slave from Salos and is currently working as Tughril Mahmut's aide.

## History

Abiriga originated from Salos, a poor country with recurring economical crisis, causing many of its citizens to starve. Because of this condition, Abiriga was sold by his parents to the slave trader when he was 13 years old. Malnourished, tired, and angry, he escaped from the port and swam all the way to a Venetian ship led by Brega, who commanded his crews to lift him from the sea when he's on the verge of drowning. After he boarded the ship, Brega and his crew approached him slowly, while checking on his condition. Suddenly, Abiriga took a blade from Brega's scabbard and sliced Brega's face. Noticing his fighting potential, Brega then bought him five times the price when the slave trader came to take Abiriga back.

Few years before the main storyline, Abiriga met Suleyman aboard on a passenger ship that was being ravaged by pirates. Being a Venetian Navy officer, he quickly came to the rescue and helped Suleyman save an abducted child from one of the pirates. Impressed by his fighting prowess, Suleyman offered Abiriga to join his newly formed Kulak network. Before answering the offer, Abiriga brought Suleyman to the nearest port from their current position, and showed him the Venedik's information gathering system. Then, he mentioned to the astonished Suleyman that there would be no one in Venedik willing to become a Kulak, because Venedik's citizens can't live anywhere but in Venedik.

## Plot

### Venedik's Ploy

Abiriga is first introduced into the story when Mahmut and Cyrus flee from Phoenicia, which has been conquered by the empire. They board Brega's ship and when Mahmut accuses then of never having intended to aid Phoenicia, Abiriga lifts a blade to strike him for speaking in such a way to Brega. However, he is stopped and later catches Mahmut when he passes out, allowing him to sleep in his chambers.

After Mahmut's and Cyrus' unpleasant meeting with Lucio, Abiriga acts as their personal guide in Venedik. After revealing to them that Venedik has no Kulak, he takes them to the Brega Company and they share a meal together. It is there that they find out that Abiriga has an owed debt of 540 ducats, a loan he took from the opposing Coronna company to pay back Brega for buying his freedom. It's a violation of the Regola Ditta (trade laws) which causes Brega to send Abiriga into exile. Mahmut and Cyrus later find out that Abiriga was set up, after he has been imprisoned until the trial is to be held. When he's behind the bars, he is approached by Brega and one from the Coronna company, who lets him know that everything is going according to plan. After Mahmut has gambled and won a lot of money to pay back Abiriga's debt, it is revealed that it was all a part of their plan. They decided to test to see if Mahmut was worthy of having Abiriga by his side, which they all agreed to in the end that he was and Abiriga is sold to Mahmut.

Balt-Rhein Empire

**The Baltic and Rhein Empire**, or **Balt-Rhein Empire** is one of the countries in Shoukoku no Altair universe. It is Turkiye's main enemy. It's loosely based on the real-life Holy Roman Empire. The empire's current ruler is Emperor Goldbalt XI.

## Location

Opposed to Turkiye, Balt-Rhein Empire is located at the western side of the region. It shares a border with various city states at the southern border, United Kingdom of Greater Turkiye at the eastern parts, and Kingdom of Urado at the northern parts.

## Administration

Balt-Rhein Empire's territory is largely divided into two parts: the 'original' part of the Kingdom of Gol and the territories that it got after its expansions.

## Military

Because of its large land mass and the big sum of citizens, Balt-Rhein Empire's military relies heavily on their standing army of troops that has a large number of military personnel, with a few of commanding officers in charge.

The Hermann Knights served as their cavalry force and the Standing Army serving as their bulk force.

## Notable Members

* Goldbalt XI
* Virgilio Louis
* Duchess Lelederik of Ellvaldez
* Gralat Berlurik
* Simon Blanchard
* Jacques Jourdain

## Trivia

* The continuously antagonistic relationship between the Balt-Rhein Empire and the United Kingdom of Greater Turkiye might be loosely inspired by the real-life relationship of the Holy Roman Empire with the Ottoman Empire, that got renowned as the two competing main powers of the region before the rise of western European kingdoms. The big difference that separates the two is the motives behind the conflict: while the real-life conflicts mainly revolves around the competition between religions (Ottoman as an Islamic empire and HRE as the leader of Christendom), the conflict in Altair universe revolves largely on the matters of national interest, as the role of religion in the universe is incredibly minor, just acting as a background that is just mentioned occasionally.
* There is strong resemblances towards Balt-Rhein's capital city St. Michael to real-life Le Mont Saint-Michel.

Mimar Zeki

**Mimar Zeki** is a supporting character of Shoukoku no Altair and has since chapter 77 been promoted to the Insaat Baskan of the Türkiye province Chielo.

## Appearance

Zeki is a tall man that reaches 183cm in height. He has short, black hair and blue, narrow eyes accompanied by quite thin eyebrows. His skin is fair and he has slim fingers. Zeki has broad shoulders but doesn't appear to be very muscular underneath his layers of clothing. Usually, he tends to wear a very stern expression due to the fact that he takes his work and responsibilities very seriously. He wears a blue fez and has an earring in his left ear. Zeki also sports a dark blue dress with a detailed silver outline and long, patterned sleeves. He wears pointy shoes and a lighter blue robe with a striped outline and very long sleeves.

## Personality

In his original manga portrayal, Zeki is shown as a serious and proud person, who is easily angered by things he deems to be unfair or silky. He is unafraid of standing up to people and voicing his own opinion, regardless of his and their position. He appears to be very passionate about his work as an architect and takes it very seriously. Zeki is a head-strong person and quite strict with Mahmut, as he is the successor of Halil, who meant a lot to Zeki.

However, in his one-episode appearance in the anime's 24th episode, a lot of his core personality traits, like his stubbornness and prideful disposition, had been reduced significantly or altered altogether; in the anime, Zeki lost his usual default stern facial expression and he never voiced his opinions so strongly as he has always been in the manga, even going as far as showing explicit full support to Mahmut's ideas in the Divan without any objections.

## Abilities

It is revealed during his first introduction that when Halil Pasha rebuilt the Inşaat Medrese (school of architecture) 13 years ago after the war, Zeki graduated at the top of his class. Zeki is referred to as one of Türkiye's finest architects and it is said that he inherited Halil's vision as his disciple. He also shows a great understanding of battle strategies and politics in general, albeit his prideful nature sometimes pose some difficulties in accepting ideas from perspectives outside of his own.

## Trivia

* Mimar is a Turkish word meaning "architect".
* Zeki is a Turkish word meaning "clever" and "brilliant".
* His position as Insaat Baskan makes him the main builder and architect in charge of the rebuilding of Chielo.

Armut Ayse

**Armut Ayse** is the young daughter of Sultan Fatma, elder sister of Kemal, and the only niece of Sultan Baraban and his successor Sultan Beyazit.

After the civil war, she is promoted to the title of Vizier-i-Azam and is in charge of Kemal's studies until he is to turn fifteen and officially succeed the throne.

## Appearance

In spite of her stoic nature, she is considered a beauty by some people. She has long, dark, wavy hair styled in segmented ponytails. She also wears a melancholic and quite serious look on her face, which is accentuated with her long eyelashes. Ayse wears a long, draped pink dress with a high collar and underneath wears a pair of salwar trousers in the same colour. On top of it all, she appears to be wearing a jacket with open sleeves. She also wears a pair of red shoes, which look similar to a pair of tsarouhia.

## Personality

Ayşe is a rather stoic woman. She appears to be quite blunt and will speak her mind, regardless of if it happens to hurt somebody. Such as when she meets Mahmut for the first time and bluntly calls him stupid and naïve. She also appears to be quite intelligent and daring, although her attempt to lock her own mother up caused her to be labelled as a traitor.

Ayşe is a proud woman and seems to have a strong sense of responsibility, as she accepts that she will one day be married to sultan Orhan of Kilic. She also has a strong sense of justice and appears to be ready to sacrifice herself for the things she believes in, if the situation called for it. As shown after the civil war had ended, Ayşe is not the type of person to let her emotions get in the way of the greater good. Even though Fatma is her mother, she pushed for her execution because she had betrayed Türkiye. Despite her serious and aggressive side, she shows a much more gentle and kind personality around her uncle Beyazit.

## Abilities

She is a very skillful politician, and like most of the Turkish citizens she is a good rider.

Deve İlkay/Relationships

## Zehir Zaganos

İlkay appears to have some great sense of loyalty towards Zaganos, making it his ultimate purpose during the war with Balt-Rhein to protect him. He also proved to be ready to threaten people with a higher standing than him, such as Mahmut, in Zaganos' favour. What kind of relationship the two have outside of their professional is uncertain, although it appears as if İlkay trusts him a lot and he is commonly seen by his side.

## Atnal Cemil

Just what kind of relationship the two have seems very uncertain, though judging from their interaction in chapter 78, they appear to be on friendly terms. İlkay also seems to acknowledge that he's a great warrior but also adds that he has always wanted to see Cemil fall, making it uncertain just what kind of relationship the two have.
