Malkochoglu Bali Bey is a brave and loyal warrior of the Ottoman Empire. It was he, one of the few who did not participate in the intrigues of the harem, and was devoted to the bone marrow of the sultan and the dynasty, sometimes putting the sovereign's calmness above his feelings.
In the storyline of the series "The Magnificent Age", the directors tried to convey the true image of this hero. However, in order to bring more interest and intrigue to the series, many of the stories are fiction.
For example, the love of Mihrimah - the sultan and princess Aibige - is an invention of the writers. At the time when Bali - Bey got married, Mihrimah was just born. Bali Bey and Sultan Suleiman were cousins in real life. And Bali married - beat his cousin Davletshah-Khatun.
But back to the show ...
Bali - Bey served the sovereign with faith and truth for a long time. After the abduction of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, Suleiman entrusts Bali Bey to investigate this case.
For a long time, Malkochoglu could not get on the trail of the kidnappers, but still he managed to find out that the kidnapping was organized by Hatice - the sultan.
In a conversation with Matrakchi's faithful friend, Malkochoglu says that he is tired of the eternal palace troubles, and wants to ask the lord for permission to return to his homeland.
And this conversation was not put on the back burner. Malkochoglu asked the Sultan for permission to return home to the post of a foreign beylerbey.
- I miss the Danube. The valiant Mihakabyu Ali Bey crossed the Danube 319 times, devastating the lands of the infidels. If you do not go beyond the Danube, you are not a beylerbey.
Let me follow in the footsteps of Mihacabyu Ali - bey. How many lands, how many fortresses I will conquer and glorify the name of Allah from edge to edge.
The sultan promised Malkochoglu to think about it and return to this issue after the campaign. However, at the end of the campaign, Suleiman allows Bali - bey to return to his homeland.
But, before leaving the capital, Bali - Bey went in search of the mistress, and he managed to find her.
At the end of episode 103, the viewer will see the brave warrior of Bali for the last time - a bey with his gorgeous mustache. He will take the mistress to the palace and leave Istanbul with a clear conscience.
We will not be shown any more Bali - bey, but in one of the episodes another aunt Mihrimah Fatma - the sultan will tell that Malkochoglu, upon arrival in Herzegovina, immediately married and is raising children.
Malkochoglu bali - bey was a brave warrior, but he was very tired of harem "showdowns".
His place was in campaigns, on the battlefield, and it was in battles that he felt happy.
