Commander Dragos

Commander Dragos was an ex-Byzantine commander who hid in Sogut under the alias of the bell-ringer of Sogut Church in order to begin a "great war" and eventually take the title of Emperor of Byzantium. He is a major antagonist of the fifth season of Ressurrection: Ertugrul.

Plot
Dragos first appears under the disguise of his alias in Sogut, a hunchbacked hooded man who works as the bell-ringer of Sogut Church and a servant in the caravanserai of Sogut Bazaar. It is implied that, in the ten-year time skip between seasons 4 and 5, Dragos has remained under this identity, planning to conquer Sogut and Byzantium. He places his followers as merchants in Sogut Bazaar, and others, such as Lais, to spy on Lefke Castle, a Byzantine-ruled castle on the border between Seljuk and Byzantine lands in Sogut. While in disguise, he kills Umur Bey, the father of Ilbilge Hatun, to stop the relationship that Ertuğrul and Ilbilge Hatun had. His friend Lais killed the innocent Tekfur Yannis to let Dragos take over the castle, and the Emperor sent Commander Uranos to command the castle but the Emperor didn’t realise that Uranos was on Dragos’ side all this time.
