Ertuğrul Gazi

Overview=

Ertuğrul Gazi is the main protagonist of Resurrection: Ertuğrul.

Ertuğrul was a skilled fighter who was responsible for many important battles for not only the Oghuz Kayi Tribe but also for the Seljuk State and helped set the foundation for the eventual Ottoman Empire. Like his son, Osman, and their descendants, Ertuğrul was referred to as a Ghazi or a heroic champion fighter for the cause of Islam.

He was the son of Suleyman Shah of the Kayis and had three brothers: Sungurtekin Bey, Gündoğdu Bey, and Dündar. He was also the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.

Personality
Ambitious and brave, Ertuğrul is shown to be well-respected and well-known, not only for being the son of Suleyman Shah but for his own exploits.

While he is young, he indicates little to no interest in tribe-management matters, and prefers the hunt, in stark contrast to his brother, Gündoğdu. However, as he grows older, he gains experience in politics and establishes himself as a wise and trusted leader, both as the Bey of his own tribe as well as the margrave of Anatolia and Sogut. His perceptive abilities and foresight also caught the attention of Sultan Alaeddin himself.

Despite his seemingly hardened and serious attitude, however, he cares deeply for his family and his alps, showing his sensitive side while with his wife and children. Valuing justice above all else, he is deadly towards his enemies and exceedingly kind to those who display values of courage and justice, Muslim or non-Muslim.

His primary weapon of choice is an azure iron sword that was forged for him by Wild Demir. Its scabbard is wrapped in gold and blue, and its hilt is adorned with a red tassel. His swordsmanship is second to none, and even in hand-to-hand combat he is shown to have incredible strength and takes down enemies with ease. He is also shown to be a skilled marksman.
