History Series / ResurrectionErtugrul

** TheChick: Halime, although rarely involved in battles alongside Ertugrul per Kayi customs (And when she is, it always involves her being escorted by Ertugrul from one place to another), serves as a love interest of sorts to the Head-alp and thus deeply motivates him before he heads into a fight.

* HeelFaceMole: [[spoiler: Marya]] counts as this. [[spoiler: While she ''did'' hate living with Ares, she only associates herself with Ertugrul in order to gain information that could help Tekfur Kritos gain the upper hand and later reveals she never even liked being around Turks, period]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Turgut Alp typically wields a small hatchet during battle, allowing him to hit his enemies with greater finesse than his sword-wielding companions.

* BigBad:
** Petruchio Manzini (Overseer of the local Knights Templar coalition) in Season 1, Baiju Noyan (The commander of the Mongol horse occupying the territory near the Dodurga site) in season 2, [[spoiler: Vasilius]] (A Byzantine lieutenant who plans on overthrowing the mayor of Karachisar to lead an assault on the Turks) in season 3, and Dragos (Chief of a murderous cult on the path to building an empire throughout Asia Minor) in season 5.
** Sadettin Kopek (Power-hungry vizir who seeks to eliminate Sultan Alaeddin and his successors to claim his seat) can meanwhile be viewed as one to the series as a whole, influencing much of the conflict in seasons 2, 3, and 4.

* AntagonisticGovernor: The Tekfur of Karacahisar appears to be this trope after [[spoiler: placing an embargo on goods being sent to his city by the Kayis; he reconsiders his stance later and sides with Ertugrul, causing a subversion. His right-hand man Vasilius plays this trope straight after ascending to the position. Not only does he organize the old Tekfur’s assassination without Helena being fully aware, but also focuses on using that power to annihilate the Turks]].

* ArcVillain: And how, considering most villainous characters don’t tend to last more than one season.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Though it generally respects the overall chronology of historical events and depicts its characters better than most other Historical Fiction shows, there are still quite a few instances of historical embellishment and fabrication in service to the plot.

* BatmanGambit: Season 4 has one revolving around Ertugrul’s PapaWolf relationship with Gunduz. [[spoiler: Tekfur Ares sends his ally Titan to introduce himself under the alias “Darius” and build an amicable relationship with Gunduz. At the ripe opportunity, Titan escorts Gunduz to Karacahisar in an attempt to entice Ertugrul into a trap]].

* BigBad: Petruchio Manzini (Overseer of the local Knights Templar coalition) in Season 1, Baiju Noyan (The commander of the Mongol horse occupying the territory near the Dodurga site) in season 2, [[spoiler: Vasilius]] (A Byzantine lieutenant who plans on overthrowing the mayor of Karachisar to lead an assault on the Turks) in season 3, and Dragos (Chief of a murderous cult on the path to building an empire throughout Asia Minor).

* BigBadDuumvirate: Karatoygar and Petruchio have an alliance of some sort in the first handful of episodes, therefore making them eligible for this trope. Later, Al Aziz and Titus (The latter being TheDragon to Petruchio) are also shown to interact with each other and conspire against Ertugrul despite their differing affiliations.

* BigDamnHeroes: Geyikli manages to save [[spoiler: a weak-handed Ertugrul’s]] life from a Mongol force by piercing the attacker from behind with his wooden spear.

* BigGood: Suleyman Shah, the chieftain of the Kayi clan, plays this role [[spoiler: until he dies in the final moments of season 1, leaving his wife Hayme to take the position until sometime in season 2, when Ertugrul legally becomes the new head of the Kayis]].

** [[spoiler: Berke Khan, leader of the Golden Horde,]] becomes this at the end of season 5, leading the Muslims against [[spoiler: Hulagu Khan]] after Ertugrul forms an alliance with him.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: This happens to Ertugrul’s close friend [[spoiler: Turgut]] in season 1 after being captured by Petruchio and given liquid narcotics to alter his behavior.

* TheBusCameBack: Having been absent since the beginning of season 1, [[spoiler: Yigit and Dundar]] finally reappear near the beginning of the next season. Also, Bamsi (Though he returns far earlier that season).

* TheChessmaster: The schtick of some of the antagonists, such as:

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Happens to Akcakoca from season 2 onward, being replaced by Artuk Bey as the resident doctor.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Quite a few times in the series, but some notable examples include:
** Titus, who sees himself fit as the master of the Templars because he’s well aware that his superior Petruchio doesn’t have the guts to actually lead his soldiers into battle or fight his foes face-to-face.

* CoDragons: Titus and Marcus to Petruchio in season 1.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Petruchio in the first season is thought-oriented, runs the Catholic Knights Templar, and rarely travels alongside his army.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Although Ertugrul remains the central protagonist for the entire series, he can be easily contrasted with Tugtekin Bey from season 2. Whereas Ertugrul is stoic, calculating, and cool-headed, Tugtekin constantly lashes out at others and displays zilch patience in most situations, even prompting Noyan to give him the moniker of “Fiery Boy.”

* EvilOldFolks: Several villains are of elder age, such as:
** Grand Master Petruchio Manzini, who commands the nearby Templar coalition in season 1 in spite of his inability to actively fight his enemies.

** Alpargu, one of the de-facto minions of Kurdoglu during his feat of conquest, also counts as this.
** [[spoiler: Afsin Bey]] veers into this territory after murdering [[spoiler: Numan Efendi]]. The only way this could be even loosely justified is that [[spoiler: the latter had intended on rebelling against Sultan Alaeddin’s orders]].
** Emir Sadettin Kopek is an even bigger example, first shown [[spoiler: releasing Noyan from Kayi imprisonment in season 2]] before going on to commit higher-stakes atrocities like [[spoiler: getting another Emir framed for trying to kill the Sultan and then poisoning his dinner peasant so he could take him out of the picture]], among numerous other activities.
** Tekfur Kritos [[spoiler: sends his son to work with Tekfur Ares to attack the Kayis, then decides to get personally involved after hearing about said son’s death]], showing no compunction or sympathy for Ertugrul the whole way through.

* EvilUncle: Kurdoglu serves as this to Ertugrul, Gundogdu, and Dundar in season 1. However, it only becomes fully obvious to the good guys [[spoiler: after he hijacks the tent and orders the alps to carry the unwilling ones to their execution]].

* FaceHeelTurn: A variation of this happens to [[spoiler: Turgut]] after getting captured by the Templars and [[spoiler: being exposed to liquid narcotics to serve their campaign]]. Once they return him to Ertugrul, [[spoiler: Turgut stabs him in the back, nearly killing the Head-Alp and prompting the tribe to keep him imprisoned to prevent another tragedy]]. Downplayed in that [[spoiler: Turgut had no control over his so-called betrayal of Ertugrul]]. Oh, and he gets better by the end of the season.

* FiveManBand: With regard to Ertugrul, Halime, and the former’s alps

* GreaterScopeVillain: In season 1, the Pope serves as this not only to Petruchio, but also to [[spoiler: Cardinal Thomas and the Ministers who visit the castle near the end of the arc]]. His influence also applies to [[spoiler: the LoneWolfBoss Templars in season 2]] and Master Simon in season 3.

* GoToAlias: Used by several characters throughout the show, such as:

* HeelFaceTurn: Several occur over the course of the show, many of them qualifying for the HeelFaithTurn entry listed below. Those that do not qualify as HeelFaithTurn include:

* HeelFaithTurn: To name some examples, there’s:

* HeroicSacrifice: Two non-fatal examples:

* InTheHood: The season 5 villain [[spoiler: Beybolat]] wears a face-concealing hood whenever he poses as Albasti.

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler: Aykiz Hatun]] suffers a chilling death at the hands of the Mongols in this manner, mainly to demonstrate the type of treachery they are capable of.

* TheMole: The first season has Petruchio position several of his men in Aleppo, donning aliases and sending pigeons back to the stronghold to secure information that they believe could give them an advantage over the Kayis and the Ayyubids.

* NonActionBigBad: Grand Master Petruchio in the first season. While he is the de-jure leader of the Amanus Mountain region Templars, he is a frail old man who hardly engages in active combat and spends most of his time either plotting within his fortress or going undercover to obtain vital information.

* OffWithHisHead: A pretty good portion of characters are punished with beheading over the course of this series. To list the most noteworthy victims of this punishment, we have:
** Season 1: [[spoiler: Sahabettin Tugrul, Kurdoglu Bey, and Petruchio Manzini]],
** Season 2: [[spoiler: Kocabas Alp, Gumustekin Bey, Bogac Alp, and Doruk Bey]],
** Season 3: [[spoiler: Ural Bey]]
** Season 4: [[spoiler: Sadettin Kopek and Tekfur Kritos]]
** Season 5: [[spoiler: Lais, Uranos, and Dragos]].

* OhCrap: Sadettin Kopek gives off this kind of vibe after [[spoiler: finding out that his superior, Sultan Alaeddin, is temporarily staying with the Kayis and has a feeling he might be suspected of trying to plot an assassination attempt]].

* TheStarscream: Several of the characters who try to backstab their masters either have plans that don't come to fruition or only lasts momentarily, including:

* StarterVillain: Master Simon plays this role in season 3, being set up as a worthy opponent of the Kayi clan up until he dies about a third of the way in, allowing [[spoiler: Vasilius]] to become the BigBad for the remainder of said season.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Happens numerous times over the course of the show, with such examples as:

* TerribleTrio: Kurdoglu, Baybora, and Alpargu in season 1, the latter two conspiring with the former to murder and take the title of Bey from his brother, Kayi leader Suleyman Shah.

* WalkingSpoiler: So much as even mentioning the name [[spoiler: Sugay]] cannot be brought up unless one mentions [[spoiler: Halime’s untimely death after giving birth to Osman]].

* WouldHurtAChild: A number of the antagonists fall under this trope, namely:

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Noyan is certainly a villain you wouldn’t want to make angry. Just ask his lackey Tankut, who has to endure both verbal and bodily abuse multiple times for his failures.

* ProfessionalKiller: Francisco is hired by Ural to ambush a carriage full of women and children, then later slain by him in order for the bey to make himself look heroic.

* TheWorfEffect: Happens to [[spoiler: Ares (Who served as one of the primary antagonists at the beginning of the season, now named Ahmet)]] after Tekfur Kritos figures out his current affiliation and sends the Traveler, [[spoiler: Aka Noyan]], to kill him off.

* AdultsDressedAsChildren: While no one disguises themselves as youngsters at any point, [[spoiler: Dragos (As the Bell-Ringer) does inform the Reverend Father of Sogut that he plans on letting “the children” come and seek shelter in his rectory. Said “children” are two of Drago’s fully-grown goons, who are then commanded to strangle the priest once he realizes it’s too late for him to take action against the enemy]].

* DividedForPublication: Even though it isn’t entirely surprising (Given that episodes of Diziler series tend to run for approximately 2 hours), ''Ertugrul'' [[UpToEleven really pushes the envelope]]. Whereas most Turkish dramas run for no more than two seasons, ''Ertugrul'' runs for a grand total of '''''five''''' (More than 336 hours over the course of 448 episode segments, most of them being 45 minutes each).

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Selcan Hatun has a b-plot revolving her attempts to expose Aytolun Hatun’s implied treachery, [[spoiler: though it eventually becomes apparent to Ertugrul and the others as time goes on]].

* VillainOfAnotherStory: Aytolun displays some shades of this, primarily being restricted to serving as an enemy to Selcan and keeping her darkest secrets concealed from the rest of the cast. [[spoiler: By the end of the season, this is subverted as a result of most of the characters finally beginning to understand the truth about her relationship with Korkut Bey]].

* MortonsFork: At one point in season 3, Ertugrul is tasked with marrying Aslihan Hatun, daughter of Candar Bey. If he declines, he’ll become a pariah in the eyes of the Cavdars. But if he accepts the marriage, he’ll earn the ire of Halime Hatun, the woman who’s already his spouse. [[spoiler: A particularly cruel double example happens in this case: Colpan, in an attempt to sever their relationship, falsely informs Halime that Ertugrul has considered taking Aslihan’s hand, while Ertugrul himself ends up making the decision not to go through with the marriage at roughly the same time, greatly angering the Cavdars]]. The fallout from this dilemma is so catastrophic that [[spoiler: it becomes the first step toward Aslihan and Candar’s eventual disowning of Ertugrul and his tribe]].
** The beginning of the first season has one involving Karatoygar, primarily intended to establish his promise-breaking tendencies. Here, he commands one of his slaves to execute a political enemy of his or else she will be executed alongside him. When she reluctantly complies, Karatoygar ''still'' kills the girl, believing that she might be capable of murdering him if she had the chance.

* WitchDoctor: At least two characters give off this kind of vibe, both of them affiliated with the Mongol Empire.
** The first example would be Ulubilge, Noyan’s mystic drummer who delivers spiritual messages informing him about the status of his army and the Turks’ course of action. Also, getting near the cave where Ibn Arabi is praying/meditating gives him the heebie-jeebies indicating that his powers are akin to, but opposed to, Ibn Arabi's.

** Titus in season 1 is revealed to be like this after [[spoiler: slashing Dundar across the waist, leaving him unconscious for almost the entire rest of the season]].

* DragonInChief: Titus absolutely counts as this: although he is subservient to Petruchio, he’s shown to be far more competent and enabled for physical combat than his supervisor and gets significantly more screen time, too. [[spoiler: It is Petruchio’s unwillingness to fight head-on that primarily fuels Titus’ anger toward him and eventually, Titus’ promotion to Grand Master]].

* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: [[spoiler: Shortly after Simon is killed off, the character of Vasilius is introduced and serves as the biggest threat for the next two thirds of the arc]].

* ProfessionalKiller: Francisco is hired by Ural to [[spoiler: ambush a carriage full of women and children, then is slain by Ural in order to cover up his involvement in the tragedy]].
** Ural later hires a Greek man named Karakoncalos to head over to the river [[spoiler: to interrupt the Kayis’ gold-mining operation and murder his could-have-been servant Hacaturyan (Who revealed the gold deposit to the Kayis)]].

* BigBad: Baiju Noyan in season 2, Master Simon in [[spoiler: the first third of]] season 3, and [[spoiler: Tekfur Vasilius during the last two-thirds of season 3]].

** Trader Simko in season 4 also counts as this. He captures Ertugrul and numerous other people to become his loyal slaves, [[spoiler: only to be slain by [[BigBad Tekfur Ares{] after Ertugrul and several of the other hirelings escape.]]

* TerribleTrio: Kurdoglu, Baybora, and Alpargu in season 1, the latter two conspiring with the former to overthrow his brother, Suleyman Shah.

* BigBadEnsemble: Season 1 has one in the form of the Amanus Mountains Templars and the Seljuk Government, both serving as hindrances to Ertugrul and his people. [[spoiler: After Karatoygar is knocked out of power, the Seljuks are replaced by the Arabs, led by Emir Al Aziz]].
** Season 4 has [[spoiler: Emir Sadettin Kopek]], [[spoiler: Tekfur Ares]], and [[spoiler: Tekfur Kritos]]. While the Mongols are also a threat marginally speaking, they don’t become directly involved in the story until [[spoiler: after Ertugrul beheads Kopek]].
** Meanwhile, season 5 gives us Dragos, Alincak, Emir Bahaddin, [[spoiler: and later, Beybolat Bey/Albasti]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Titus’ primary reason for targeting Ertugrul and his kin, namely for the death of his brother Bisol.

** Tankut. He wants to rally the Mongols to be under his watch instead of Noyan, who has been particularly abusive toward him. [[spoiler: The only significant thing he accomplishes during his tenure as a self-made patriarch is killing Deli Demir]].

* StarterVillain: [[spoiler: Master Simon]] plays this role in season 3, being set up as a worthy opponent of the Kayi clan up until he dies about a third of the way in, allowing [[spoiler: Vasilius]] to become the BigBad for the remainder of said season.
** Trader Simko in season 4 also counts as this, albeit not portrayed as a BigBad in any way. [[spoiler: He merely captures Ertugrul and numerous other people to become his slaves, only to be slain by Tekfur Ares after Ertugrul and several of the other hirelings escape.]]

** The first example would be Ulubilge, Noyan’s mystic drummer who delivers spiritual messages informing him about the status of his army and the Turks’ course of action.

* ReverseMole: Hamza and Abdurrahman both pretend to side with Noyan in order to gain vital information for the Kayis and Dodurgas. [[spoiler: Even though Abdurrahman manages to pull off the ploy as intended, Hamza sadly ends up succumbing to greed and actually betrays Ertugrul in the process]].

* BigEater: Bamsi Beyrek embodies this trope. He may be a powerful soldier on the field, yet he typically won’t be satisfied to engage in military conduct unless he eats a large hunk of meat beforehand. Heck, he’s even been known to recover from serious injuries or conditions after getting his hands on some comestibles on a few occasions.

* OffWithHisHead: Season 1 gives us [[spoiler: Sahabettin Tugrul, Kurdoglu Bey, and Petruchio Manzini]], season 2 has [[spoiler: Kocabas Alp, Gumustekin Bey, Bogac Alp, and Doruk Bey]], the death of [[spoiler: Ural Bey]] counts as this in season 3, [[spoiler: Sadettin Kopek and Tekfur Kritos]] suffer this fate in season 4, while the fifth season presents us the deaths of [[spoiler: Lais, Uranos, and Dragos]].

* TerribleTrio: Kurdoglu, Baybora, and Alpargu in season 1.
** The close of season 4 gives us [[spoiler: Almila/Alangoya, Mergen, and Eynece]].

** Season 4 contains a group of mercanaries called The Warriors of Hell, a small cult whose members are most likely in some form of this as a result of their erratic behavior whenever they appear on-screen.

** Season 4 has [[spoiler: Tekfur Ares]] shapes up to be a worthy successor to [[spoiler: Vasilius]], but unlike his Muslim-loathing predecessor, [[spoiler: Ares]] ultimately gives up his bigoted ways, converts to Islam, and remains that way for the rest of his life.

** Season does this with Noyan and [[spoiler: Sadettin Kopek once the latter arrives,]] working with one another to impede Ertugrul but neither man being truly subordinate to the other since they are associated with distinct entities.

** Ural later hires a Greek man named Karakoncalos to head over to the river [[spoiler: to interrupt the Kayis’ gold-mining operation and murder his could-have-been servant Hacaturyan (Who revealed the gold deposit to they Kayis)]].

A sequel series titled ''Kuruluş: Osman,'' revolving around the struggle of Ertugrul’s son Osman Ghazi as he grows up to become the founder of the Ottoman Empire, is currently in production.
