Background[]

Flag of the Bayındır tribe

Malhun's mother died when she was a young girl. She was raised by her father Ömer Bey and saw her brothers fall as martyrs one after the other as she grew up. She showed her father that she was nothing less than a son and does everything she can possibly do for him.

Storyline[]

Season 2[]

After saving Osman Bey from Aya Nikola, Malhun arrives in the Kayı tribe. Malhun tells Osman that she is trying to find a place for her tribe to reside which results in Osman giving her some land in Bithynia. Malhun decides to help Osman find the traitors in the Kayı but, not trusting Osman Bey, she doesn't tell Osman when she finds Dündar's ring at the same place where the traitor İdris was killed by the more powerful traitor who wanted to cover up his tracks. She is wounded by Togay and later captured by Nikola, although later freed. She is eventually subjected to Osman and Bala's anger for hiding the ring after her father gives it to Osman. She later regrets hiding the ring and seemingly develops feelings for Osman Bey, troubling her father. She later marries Osman in a political marriage, and becomes pregnant soon after - giving birth to Osman's eldest son, Orhan.
