Biography
During the beginning of Season 3, it is shown that Candar Bey is ambitious. He wants to strengthen the Cavdar Tribe. When he was young he achieved this by conquest though in during Season 3 he is shown as a Peacemaker figure, trying to stop any conflict with the Kayis. He used to have a Wife who died of unknown circumstances before the Season began. He has a turbulent relationship with his eldest son Ural, who is mischievous and ambitious and wants to become the Bey of Cavdars and also the King of Bithynia. Due to this, he prefers to put his second son Aliyar in charge of important matters though he still dearly loves Ural. His sons Ural and Aliyar have many conflicts, which is due to Ural wanting the Cavdars to grow by conquest, deciet and cheating while Aliyar prefers peace and growth by righteous conquest against non believers. Though Candar admires Ertugrul, he sometimes gets in conflict with him due to Ural's envy of Ertugrul. His relationship with Ertugrul completely collapses when Ertugrul refuses his offer to marry Aslihan Hatun to him. This makes him hate Ertugrul and he instead becomes closer friends with Emir Sadettin Kopek. On Emir Sadettin's request for marriage with Aslihan, he accepts. Aslihan at first is against it but for the wellness for her tribe, she reluctantly accepts. Just as Aslihan is about to be married, Ertugrul, Aliyar and the Chief Alp Kutluca crash the wedding, showing them the Byzantine Merchant who had arrived at the Tribe Yesterday. The Byzantine Merchant though is actually Laskaris, Vasilius's Soldier who has assassinated the Tefkur of Karacahisar. He tells them the truth about Ural's involvement in the murder of the Alps and burning of the rugs but he lies to them that Ural was the one who killed the Former Tefkur of Karacahisar. After this, Ural is trialed in Hanli Pazar by a Qadi send by Sultan Alauddin Qaykubad. He is deemed to be guilty but Candar Bey disputes the decision, saying this is a plan by Ertugrul to destroy the Cavdar Tribe. He later collapses and his health deteriorates but he still goes to the Execution square to stop Ertugrul. He threatens to go to war with the Kayis if he doesn't release Ural but he collapses and dies of stress. The Execution of Ural is therefore delayed for the Janazah (Funeral) of Candar Bey.
