Beschreibung
1097 AD. - During the events of the First Crusade, basileus Alex Komnenos tries in vain to prevent
the massacre of thousands of Seljuk Turks residing in Nicaea. Now tainted by the horrendous crime and fearful
of his reaction, the Crusaders give him as a sign of peace gift a lonely, frightened child with no parents left.
Moved to compassion by the look on the little orphan's face, the basileus decides to take him with him and make him live at the
Grand Palace of Constantinople together with his son of the same age. That Turkish child named Yahya will go down in history
as John Axuch, and will become a close friend of the future Emperor John II.
Within a lifetime dedicated to serving the Komnenos dynasty, Axuch will ascend to the prestigious title of Grand Domestic,
becoming a well-known and respected figure even beyond the imperial borders. But even at the height of his influence,
he will never forget his original mission: to watch over the basileus John, and eventually over his heirs.
