Artuk Bey is a fictional character in the Turkish TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul where he is portrayed as the main protagonist, Ertuğrul Bey's right hand man. The character is portrayed by Ayberk Pekcan[1] and is based on the Seljuk commander Artuk Bey.[2][3]

Background

Artuk Bey was born in the Dodurga where he is shown to have not married for years. He is loyal to his tribe's Bey, Korkut, is the tribe's doctor and does anything for it along with being a well-respected Bey there.

Personality

Artuk Bey is extremely loyal to whoever is his tribe's Bey. Along with being well-respected due to his profession, he is trustworthy with all things business-related which leads to him being not only trusted with the Public Market, but Karacahisar and even his tribe. The TRT 1 website states about his character; "When Ertuğrul Bey is not in the tribe, he continues to be loyal to him, leads his tribe and continues to serve as a physician in it too. He also helps him with the business of the market."[4] In the fifth season, he was blinded due to Emir Bahattin's men who were searching for a chest,[5] however he could still treat people and know which medicine to use and where the medicine is.

Storyline

Season 2–3

Artuk Bey makes his first appearance in the second season and is shown as a doctor and physician of the Dodurga tribe. After the Kayıs are forced into the Dodurgas after a Mongol invasion, Artuk is shown to admire Ertuğrul and as he notices his achievements and his struggle, he takes him to the Aksakals, an organisation seeking justice, which Ertuğrul becomes a member of. Artuk Bey also attempts to stop the devious Aytolun from giving energy syrup to the Dodurga Bey and her wife, Korkut, which was harmful for him and eventually leads to his death. Following the arrival of Ertokuş and Ertokuş' death, who Artuk is surprisingly shown to feel uncertain about, and Aytolun's death after she mishandles Ertuğrul's sister-in-law Selcan, the Kayı along with Artuk move to the Western borders separating from Ertuğrul's elder brothers. After Ertuğrul's conquest of the Hanlı Pazar in the third season, Artuk is made in-charge of the place and he also becomes the tribe's doctor, working alongside his student, Derviş İshaak, who was also one of İbn-i Arabi's dervishes. Artuk Bey is also the cause of it bit revealed that the Çavdar tribe's Bey, Candar's blood-brother Toktamış, was innocent and he was poisoned to attack his brother. At the end of this season, in the new Tekfur of Karacahisar, Ares' ambush, Artuk is severely injured and Ertuğrul ends up being kidnapped by slave-traders.

Season 4–5

Following Ertuğrul being thought-dead after him being kidnapped by the slave-traders, his younger brother, Dündar seeks to become the Bey, which he succeeds after facing Artuk, who also was a candidate in the elections. When Ertuğrul escapes, he banishes Dündar who was about to sell Hanlı Pazar and move to Gündoğdu's tribe. After Ertuğrul conquers Karacahisar after they continued to stir traps for him, even kidnapping Ertuğrul's son, Gündüz, Artuk is made the Kaledar (in-charge) of Karacahisar. Artuk marries Marya, Ares' former lover, who does anything for money, even betraying her husband. As the traitor in the Selçuk palace, Sadettin Köpek, causes more and more problems as the days pass, he sends Günalp, his adoptive son, who is unaware of his father's devious plans, to Karacahisar where he forcefully snatches the castle off him and sends him to prison, even attempting to hang him, only being saved by Ertuğrul. Following the death of Marya and Köpek, and Günalp being made the Kaledar by Ertuğrul after the truth is revealed, the Kayı move to Söğüt where the fifth season starts. In this season, Artuk Bey isn't shown around that often, but when Artuk, who is well-known to be Ertuğrul's right-hand-man, is shown to know one of Ertuğrul's major secrets, the notorious Beybolat Bey, later killed, manages to blind him in one eye after he doesn't spill the secret.

Positions

Artuk Bey was one of the Beys of the Dodurga tribe and the tribe's doctor. After migrating with Ertuğrul, there were times where he became the substitute Bey, even running for the tribe Bey elections after it was thought that Ertuğrul was dead. He was also the Kayı doctor after the migration along with being the Kaledar of Karacahisar.

Historical basis

File:Seljuk artuk beg.png
Artuk Bey is based on a Seljuk commander named Zaheer-ul-Daulah Artuk Beg

Artuk Bey is based on the 11th century Seljuk commander with the same name[3][6] who lived at the same time as Diriliş: Ertuğrul's Süleyman Şah.[7] In Resurrection Ertuğrul, Artuk Bey is presented as a member of the Dodurga tribe of Oghuz Turks, however, historically he was a member of the Döğer tribe.[2] Like many other characters in the second season, he is just another historical personality being paid homage to.[2]

Reception

Artuk's character is admired by many for his alliance with the protagonist and how he, as a doctor, saved many of their favourite characters' lives.[8][9] As Diriliş: Ertuğrul was well-received in Pakistan, Ayberk Pekcan, along with Nurettin Sönmez, who plays the role of Bamsı Beyrek, arrived in the country to meet fans in 2020 on a three-day visit.[10] They came with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and a 20-member delegation.[11][12] On their visit, they met Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi's sister Dr. Fazeela Abbasi[13] and Nurettin Sönmez was "humbled" by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's appreciation for Diriliş: Ertuğrul while also expressing his desire to work with Pakistani actors. On the occasion, Ayberk Pekcan said, “...Pakistan and Turkey are brotherly countries, people of both countries are also brothers and Pakistan is our second homeland...”[14] Before leaving, they also visited the Pak-Turk Maarif Chak Shahzad Campus, in Islamabad[15][16] and their visit to Pakistan was "thanked" by Pakistani politician Faisal Javed Khan.[17] Pekcan is also staying in touch with the Kuruluş: Osman cast, the sequel to Diriliş: Ertuğrul, sharing an image with them on Instagram.[18][19] In 2016, Pekcan also won the Golden Palm Awards in the category Supporting TV Series Actor of the Year for his role as Artuk Bey.[20]
