Biography
Born as the eldest son to Bayezid II and Bülbül Hatun, he was trained as provincial governor in Anatolia. During his father's later years, he was considered the crown prince and supported by grand vizier Hadim Ali Pasha. Pasha died when Ahmet left the battlefield during the Shahkulu Rebellion when, instead of fighting, he tried to rally his troops towards his cause for ascension.

In the year 1511, Şehzade Ahmet became acquainted with the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze. He was the master of the Templars in South-East Europe. During Ezio's escape from Cappadocia he revealed himself as a Templar leader. Later in 1512, after Ezio's and Sofia's pursuit for him, he dies from the hands of Selim by falling of a cliff.

During the traditional race to reach Istanbul during the final years of the sultan's reign, Selim was found out of control by his father and defeated. However, when Ahmet tried to get to Constantinople, soldiers blocked his way because of his prior incompetence. When his father abdicated over Ahmet's capture and rule of another province, Selimbecame Sultan.
