Early Life
After the Mongols killed his parents, him, Dogan and Bamsi were stranded in the mountains with no help and Ertugrul found him and took him to the tribe. The four of them were always toegther and shared a deep love for one another and would do anything to protect each other and the tribe.

He was the sweet heart of Aykiz and the two of them had been engaged for sometime before the series began.

Turgut learned to fight with an axe instead of a traditional sword, which he used with great success.

Season 1
He was first seen with Ertugrul Bey, Dogan and Bamsi, as the four of them were departing for a hunt. during said hunt, the group happened upon several Templar Knights transporting prisoners to Karatoygar. Ertugrul attacked them to save Halime from being raped by Bisol. Turgut along with the other Alps quickly joined in, and easily decimated the group. Turgut ended the battle but throwing his axe at a knight, impaling him from the back. The Kayi emblem on his axe, would eventually tell Karatoygar that it was members of the Kayi tribe who attacked the Templars. This meant that Turgut was inadvertently responsible for Karatoygar attacking the tribe.

Turgut along with Bamsi and Dogan accompanied Ertugrul to Aleppo to meet with Emir Al-Aziz. During this time, he along with his other companions had their weapons stolen, by the vizier, in an effort to prove that the Kayi were incompetent.

Turgut returned to the tribe with Ertugrul, once they had convinced Emir Al-Aziz to give them land. He was very excited about the fertile land and promised Aykiz that they would be the first couple to be married in their new home.

During the second trip to Aleppo, the group, now accompanied by Numan, Halime and Yigit, were attacked by the Templars. Turgut fled, obeying Ertugrul's order to protect Yigit. they were both perused by numerous Templars, with Turgut managing to cut down many of them, however he eventually surrended to Titus when Yigit was captured and the pair of them were taken to the Templar's Castle.

While imprisoned, he met Omer (formerly Giovanni Manzini) the grand master's brother, who was also the pupil of Ibn Arabi and a revert to Islam. During his imprisonment, he was severaly tortured by Grand Master Ustad-i-Azam Petruchio and fed a poison that altered his state of mind. He was for a time encouraged to remember his faith in Allah by Omer, and was visited by Afsin Bey, dressed as a friar.

Turgut eventually surrendered to the poison, though not before informing Isadora that her father, Omer was alive. While being controlled by Petruchio, Turgut went by the name of Judas. He would freqently hallucinate Aykiz and even projected her onto Isadora. Torgut would also get dibilitating headaches, if he did not drink the drug and constantly displayed ticks and instabilities, though his fighting skills did not waver.

During his time with the Templar's, Turgut befriended Isadora. He was eventually traded back to the Kayi Tribe in exhange for the captured Cardinal Thomas. However, his true mission was to kill Ertugrul Bey, during the exchange. He succeeded in stabbing Ertugrul and incapacitating both Afsin and Dogan, before he was eventually sent fleeing by an also injured Basmi, just as a host of Templar's appeared, but were driven of my Gundogdu.

Judas, along with several others raided Sultan Aladdin's entourage to Damascus, with the hopes of ending the Seljuk-Ayudbid Alliance. He was however captured by Gundogdu and taken back to the tribe.

Turgut slowly began to regain his memories, though the drug still caused him great pain and he attacked Aykiz once.

During Kurdoglu's rebellion agasinst Suleyman Shah, he once again joined the Templars, aiding Kurdoglu and going so far as to agree to kill Suleman Shah and his family. however this proved to be a ruse as he promptly turned on his companions and freed Suleyman Shah, Gundogdu, Deli Demir and the others. He returned to Kurgodlu and told him that Suleyman was dead. He was then sent back to the Templar's along with Halime. However, they were rescued by Ertugrul. By this point, Turgut was dying due to withdrawl from the drug. However, he was saved just in time due to Ibn Arabi's quick intervention.

After this, he regained most of his former personality, with only a few odd ticks remaining for a time. Before the raid on the Templar's, he married Aykiz. During the raid on the Templar's Castle, he accompanied Ertugrul, Gundogdu, Deli Demir, Bamsii, Dogan and several others through the tunnels into the fortress. He fought valiantly, slaughtering many Templars before the fortress was breached. He and Bamsi then broke down the door's to the main gathering room, where the other grand masters were gathered. Finally, he was given the honor of killing Grand Master Petruchio, who had torutured him and broke his mind. Turgut had him strapped to the wheel, on which he had been tortured and then decapitated him with one blow of the axe.

Season 4
In season 4, Ertugrul convinced Turgut to marry Aslihan, seeking both to heal Turgut's heart from the loss of Aykiz and cement an alliance between the Kayis and the Cavdar tribes. Turgut was initially reluctant, Aslihan was not although she did demand that Turgut would settle with her in "her tribe" that she had dedicated her life to preserving following Aliyar's death. A pre-marriage feast was used as cover for one of the stage toward taking the Byzantine fortress, and then the newlyweds were taken hostage by Bahdir Bey as he attempted to seize control of Alishan's part of the Cavdar tribe, which failed. Turgut and Alishan settled happily into their roles at the head of the southern Cavdar branch.

Turgut then suddenly decided he was the undisputed bey of Cavdar, dismissing his wife's dedication to the tribe and expecting her to be silent.
