Cast

Actor	Character	Description
Aras Bulut İynemli	Devran	Devran was abandoned by his father as a child and grew up in one of the poor neighborhoods of Istanbul with his mother, grandmother and four siblings. He is the son of İskender and Gülce. His life was shaped by the discovery that he was a genius at an early age and then his father leaving him. In the revenge story that begins with his encounter with his father years later, Devran will meet the face he did not realize.
Uğur Polat	İskender	Iskender left his wife and children years ago because of his own ambitions. He is very cunning and intelligent, has a superior talent for catching people's weaknesses and lying, and influences everyone with his charisma. He cares about nothing but money and power in life. He lives with Aysel, one of the reasons he left his family, and his son from her, Cesur. When he crosses paths with Devran again, he finds himself in a great revenge story.
Taner Ölmez	Cesur	Cesur is the son of İskender and Aysel. He is Devran's stepbrother, one year younger. As the only child of a devilish couple like Aysel and İskender, he has combined the evil characters of both in himself. He learned at a very young age that he had to struggle to survive and protect himself even from his father. Since he lives in a constant atmosphere of insecurity, it is out of the question for him to trust people. With Devran's entry into their lives, many things will change for Cesur.
Onur Saylak	Ali Haydar	Devran's only and greatest helper in this war of revenge that he finds himself in is Sofi, who has been his mentor since childhood. Sofi and the stories she tells will guide Devran to develop the right tactics.
Melis Sezen	İmre	İmre has grown up feeling grateful to İskender, whom she knew from a young age, because she has always seen him as a powerful savior. İskender is her hero. She does not hesitate to push the boundaries to achieve what she sets her mind to. Her free spirit, her charming beauty as well as her bright intelligence and her ability to use her intelligence for evil will be Devran's most important test in life in his struggle not to be like his father.
Ahsen Eroğlu	Esme	Esme is a young woman who, despite having a high intelligence and learning ability, is trapped within the wall of growing up in an oppressive and conservative family. The only person who gives her breathing space in this home life is Devran and his love for her. This love is the strongest shelter for her against all pain.
Seda Akman	Aysel	She is Cesur's mother. Aysel, who has a character shaped by money and lust, is İskender's real wife. Their characters, who feed each other in every sense and do not care about anyone but themselves, are very compatible with each other. When Aysel and İskender join forces, their success in exploiting people increases exponentially.
Zuhal Gencer	Gülce	Gülce is Devran's mother. She blindly believed in İskender, and when İskender left her, she was left with her mother-in-law and 5 children. Gülce, who raised her children with her own efforts, will make great efforts to protect her children from İskender when he reappears years later.
Umutcan Ütebay	Yaman	Yaman is Ferman's younger brother and Devran's older brother. He is neither as determined as Ferman nor as passionate as Devran. Yaman, who has no faith in himself and who does not see his own talents and skills, is stuck between his older brother's seriousness and his brother's extraordinary skills.
Oğulcan Arman Uslu	Ferman	Ferman is Devran's oldest brother, the first son of İskender and Gülce. Since he was ten years old when İskender left, Ferman was the one who best understood his father's abandonment of the family. From that moment on, he was always aware of the responsibility that fell on him, did not cause any trouble, was smart, sensible and had to grow up early. He secretly envies Devran for the attention he receives in the family and for the fact that he is a young man with a devil's feather like his father.
Eylül Ersöz	Ceylan	Devran's sister. She is one of İskender and Gülce's twins. Devran's youngest and only sister, Ceylan is attached to her family, her brothers and her life in the neighborhood with a strong love.
Çağan Efe Ak	Boran	Devran's brother is Ceylan's twin. Dreaming of a rich life, Boran is after the opportunities that his father's rich world, whom he has never seen, will offer. He is trying to chart his own path in a dangerous game.
Emel Göksu	Cavidan	Devran and his siblings' grandmother is İskender's mother. Even after İskender left her and ran away, she never let her son suffer for a day. She is waiting longingly for her son İskender, who will never return, stubbornly and insistently.
Taner Rumeli	Karga(Yusuf)	He is one of Alexander's fiercest enemies. He is the son of Topal İhsan, the younger brother of Hakim. Yusuf watched his father's poor family become rich with his child's eyes. Topal İhsan raised Yusuf to be the head of all his businesses and is the favorite of his family.
Cenk Kangöz	Hakim	He is another one of İskender's fierce enemies. He was born as the first son of Topal İhsan and Emine, he is Karga's older brother. İhsan has clearly separated the roles of his sons in the criminal empire he established. It is indisputable that Karga will be the next leader of the family. Hakim grew up with this fact. İhsan has always assigned him the role of a sacrificer who will protect his brother and family.
