Cumali is the eldest son of İdris Koçovalı and Sultan Koçovalı. He spent 11 years in prison. He fell to the ground in a fight against a Karakuzu gang member in prison, lost consciousness, and was said to have died after doctors' control. However, Cumali did not die and disguised as a doctor and escaped from prison. Selim, who saved Yamaç, who was beaten by the Karakuzular, left Yamaç in front of Cumali's door. Meanwhile, Cumali mysteriously kills Karakuzular members in Çukur.

Thanks to Selim, Cumali heals Yamaç. Together with Yamaç and Vartolu, they team up to win back Cukur from the Karakuzus. Çeto and Mahsun, angry that Cumali killed the Karakuz people, stated that they would give money to the neighborhoods in exchange for bringing Cumali through Ersoy. Later, Cumali was kidnapped by Reşit Feyzullah's men, but rescued by Yamaç. After the Karakuzular gang is over, Vartolu and Cumali follow Çeto's car and reach a house. They find Yücel in this house and take them with them. After learning about the betrayal of Veysel, who was a Cumali man but worked for Karakuzular, he killed Veysel with a knife. İdris wanted to marry Cumali. Although he wanted to marry Yıldız, Idris married him to Uluç's daughter Damla.

Cumali and Damla protected the house and the family during the Karakuzular raid on the house of the Koçovans. Later, he took the women of the Koçovans to a safe place, but when he learned that Sena was missing, he took all the blame. After Sena's death, she felt a great sense of guilt and grieved.

Later he was kidnapped by Timsah Celil, who came to Çukur. He was rescued with the help of the Koçovans. After the death of Akşın, he took action to find Yücel who killed Sena and Akşın and kidnapped Nejat after he murdered the whole family of Nejat, who knew Yücel's location. Nejat has told him all the facts. He saved Aliço from Yamaç and Yücel at the last minute. He went to prison again with the Koçovals who came to Yücel's game.

Cumali has tried to escape from prison again. He collaborated with the prison guard and escaped from prison. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for escaping from prison.

After Azer killed Kemal, he killed Azer's brother. Therefore, Cumali shot by Azer's men in front of Selim and Yamaç. But Cumali is not dead. Çağatay told Cumali to leave Çukur, or he threatened to send Damla, who was taken by the police, to the prison. That's why Cumali left Çukur. However, when Çağatay was sent abroad by his father, he returned to Çukur again. Thanks to Arık Böke Erdenet and Seren Erdenet, he learned that his father's murderer was Yamaç and later shot Yamaç.

## Personality

Cumali is a hot-headed, honest and brazen man who is extremely loyal to his family. He looks up to his father a lot and is particularly protective of his little brother Yamaç. Despite the fact he can be very angry and violent, he in fact has a much sweeter and softer side when it comes to his romantic partners and children.
