A young man of 21 years, with a lean but muscular build, sharp facial features, and piercing dark eyes.

Ottoman Commander

secondary

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his late 30s with a weathered face marked by a deep scar running from his left temple to his jawline.

His muscular frame is evident even beneath his layered garments, and he moves with the confidence of a seasoned warrior.

Sultan Mehmed II Behold, the walls that stood for a thousand years now yield before us. Let this be the dawn of a new era for our empire.

Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI So falls the city of Constantine. May God have mercy on our souls.

Ottoman Commander My Sultan, the breach is secure. The city is yours for the taking.

Ottoman Commander Forward! The city is ours!

Sultan Mehmed II Let history remember this day. Constantinople is no more. Istanbul rises from its ashes.
