Sultan Ismail Khan

The sultan cannot have a wife, according to the rules of the harem; he has only concubines and favorites. If a concubine gives birth to a child, she becomes mistress. The sultan can, of course, marry a concubine, but he must first achieve such a title. If Ismail falls in love, he will do everything for this girl, he will shower her with gifts, write her poems, spend nights with her, do everything for her alone.

However, according to the rules of the harem, the Sultan must be with different girls; if he is with only one, it will have a bad effect on his reputation, but still, he can break this rule.

Ismail doesn't like to talk long with his concubines; he always considers nights with them a duty, not a pleasure, so he simply sleeps with them, without tenderness, without affection, without words, and then, in the morning, sends them away. No girl has ever captured his heart so completely. Moreover, he never calls a specific concubine to himself, leaving the choice to Kalfa; they select girls and bring them to his chambers.

1. After the first night with the Sultan, the concubine becomes a favorite and is given a separate room and two maids.
2. The Sultan can give the concubine a new name if he wishes.
3. Only the concubine who accepts Islam will become a mistress.
4. If you give birth to a child, you can become a mistress, but if it’s a boy, then you have more influence.
5. Concubines and favorites must obey eunuchs and kalfs

The Sultan has two sisters, Esma and Hümashah, who rarely visit the palace as they are both already married and live with their husbands. The Sultan's mother died when he was still a child, she became a victim of intrigue, after her death the Sultan realized that intrigue is always terrible and he hates intrigue His father had always been an example for him, a person he looked up to, imitated, did everything, but his father's death did not hit him, somewhere deep in his soul he was waiting for this day He always saw his brothers only as rivals, so his hand did not tremble when he executed them.

Ismail is a stern, cold-blooded sultan, very reasonable and intelligent. His cruelty is legendary; it is said that one glance from him is enough to silence a person and make them regret their words. With his concubines, he is mostly neutral and only rarely shows a hint of tenderness; he considers them ordinary girls who simply must produce offspring for the future dynasty. He dislikes weakness, stupidity, and naivety in people.

The man has never loved, and no girl has ever won his heart to this day.

His whole life was spent in education and training, he did everything to be worthy of the throne and his father.

The man rarely calls concubines to himself, saying that they bore him.
