Due to being seperated from his family at a very young age, Yavuzalp doesn't know his mother or father. He doesn't even know if he has any siblings or not.
Having been taken into the Türkan Sultan's service as a janissary at the age of six, Yavuzalp was transferred from the janissary society to the semajen convent when he was thirteen. His master wanted to suppress Yavuzalp's violent nature and aggressive personality. Yavuzalp was so stubborn and intense that, although he was called Alp until then, he was started to be called Yavuzalp by his tutor. He really had a "yavuz" (stern) personality and this name surely suited him well.
Yavuz possessed everything that was needed to become a good soldier. However, his stern personality had to be tempered. Thinking this way, his master handed him over to the semajens and thus triggered the change in Yavuzalp's life. Having been trained by the semajens for five years, Yavuzalp later joined the ahi houses to pay his spiritual debt to the them. The ahis were bound to the semajens and they were helping the weak, poor and needy without asking for anything in return. Another purpose of the ahis was to serve the Türkan Sultan. Especially the ahi houses in outer states were working as intelligence organizations for the Türkan Sultan. Yavuzalp worked on the Türkan Sultanate's borders for a long while. Until the age of twenty three...
For reasons unknown, Yavuzalp left the ahi organization at the age of twenty three and returned to the janissary society. His master had deceased and most of his friends in the society had been assigned to other cities, some of them had been killed in battle. The situation being this way, Yavuzalp didn't stay in the janissary society for long. He was desiring a permanent change in his life. He didn't want to remain in the Türkan lands anymore. Probably there was nothing left to bind him to his homeland. Or maybe there were things that forced him to leave...
After a long journey Yavuzalp had reached the Asena Khaganate. Being a federation of the nations of the steppes, nomadic horsemen and powerful warrior nations united by the Göktürks, this state was in reality the most deadly military power on the continent of Sorién. Once mobilized, no army could stand against these horsed angels of death. Their biggest problem, though, was that they were constantly losing their inner unity. For a long time, the Asena Khaganate had been keeping the nomads under one flag through making severe sacrifices and paying harsh dues. When Yavuzalp reached the Asena lands, he found a restless state, which was boiling within and being poked by many foreign powers. He befriended the wolves he met here in a short time and joined them. Thus, Yavuzalp found himself within the Brotherhood of the Wolf, which fought to protect the unity of the Asena Khaganate.
Yavuzalp fought for his new "family" for four years. The lifestyle of the nomads turned Yavuzalp into an even more accomplished warrior. He learned not to freeze in minus thirty degrees, to survive in forty degrees of heat, to travel on horseback for days without stopping, to mix and drink mare blood and kýmýz and to even forget about the feeling called compassion when needed. This was a journey from the a bit naive, a bit dreamy but noble lifestyle of the ahis, to the merciless, cold and sturdy approach of the nations of the steppes...
When turned twenty nine, an ahi house he came across in the city of Ötüken changed his life yet again. Yavuzalp could not remain indifferent to the ahis, who played a huge role in his past and so he had started visiting the ahi house frequently. One day, the ahi house requested his help in a dangerous mission that would stretch as far as to the Pyrokan lands. After taking the permission of his wolf brothers, Yavuzalp accepted to help the ahis and joined this caravan, which set off from Ötüken, to defend it until it reached the capital of the Pyroñom Shardom; Pyrok...
This dangerous journey that Yavuzalp undertook will bring him face to face with death. When all hope is lost and death's cold breath starts to show its overwhelming presence, Yavuzalp's fate and life will be determined by a commander that he has never seen before and one that he doesn't know naturally. Maybe Yavuzalp will be rescued by a commander who was about to arrive to the area for a completely different purpose. Or maybe the commander will orchestrate an even more horrifying end for Yavuzalp...
