Tughril Mahmut

* Appearance
* Profile

**Tughril Mahmut** (犬鷲の(トゥグリル)マフムート, *Twuguriru Mafumūto*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, and the main protagonist in the manga and anime series of **Altair: A Record of Battles**.

Mahmut is the main protagonist of the story. He is known as a prodigy, being Turkiye's youngest pasha in its history at 17 years old during the beginning of the story. He is also Iskandar's partner

As from chapter 77 of the manga, he is officially Chielo's Idare, or governor, making his rank equivalent to a vizier.

## Personality

Generally, Mahmut is a nice and smart person with a strong sense of justice, but has strong impulsive tendencies, so much that he bordered on naive at his first appearance. He came into the Pasha with a child’s innocence in foreign affairs and policies. As the story progressed, he slowly began to gain wisdom and became more careful in taking action, even though his naivety still shows.

In one of the 50 fan questions posted on the fanbook, Katou Kotono stated that Mahmut is actually more of a hard worker than he is a natural genius, which is quite different from what presumed all these times by people in-universe.

## Character Design

Mahmut is a young man with a fair stature. He has neck-length golden blonde hair that curl up at the tips framing his face, usually covering his left eye. He also has soft face features befitting his story heritage and innocence, with baby blue eyes, and a small nose. His usual garb consists of a white *salvar* (trousers) and black-collared white inner shirt, a red *yelek* (short robe) and a pair of black *cedik* (boots), which all have circular golden linings on them except for the trousers. In formal occasions, he wears a red-white coloured turban.

He is considered beautiful by some characters, beautiful enough to cross dress as a woman when situation demands so. Even Sultan Balaban had considered to recruit him into his yeniçeri (Janissary) because of this.

## Abilities and Equipment

Mahmut's main power lies in his bright mind, which has saved Turkiye several times. Even so, one also can't underestimate him in a sword battle, since he's very skillful in using many kinds of weapons (although not to Abiriga's level) available. Despite his small stature, he's also a very talented horse rider, as demonstrated in chapter 83 when he successfully rode on an extremely steep cliff. Mahmut's specialty that gave him his title is falconry. He is often seen with Iskandar and train with him ever since his mother's death. He can command a huge flock of birds with specialized bait and other methods.

## Story

### Original

Mahmut enjoyed happy, simple life in Tughril Village with his mother until he was 5 years old, 12 years from the main storyline, when a war between Turkiye Stratocracy and its hostile neighbor, Baltrhein Empire, broke out. This war devastated Tughril Village, killing all of its villagers except Mahmut and Iskandar, his domesticated eagle, who had been hidden in an urn by his mother. Later, Halil found him at the ruined village and adopted him, promising not to leave him alone. This tragedy fueled Mahmut's desire to become a pasha, so that he won't lose anyone precious anymore because of war.
