Barbaros Hayrettin Pasha's successes in the Mediterranean are based on the piracy activities he started years ago with his older brother Oruç Reis. There was a sipahi named Yakup Ağa among the Turks who settled in the region after Fatih Sultan Mehmed conquered Midilli. Thanks to Yakup Ağa's four sons, İshak, Oruç, Hızır and İlyas, the foundation was laid for the Mediterranean to become a Turkish lake. Everything started with the capture of Oruç Reis by the Knights of Rhodes. Oruç Reis, who was tortured and sentenced for a long time here, started piracy after he found a way and escaped. Later, his brother Khidr joined him. They did their best to save Andalusian Muslims from the Spanish persecution. They rescued innocent people captured by the Knights of Rhodes and helped those in need. They became more and more famous thanks to their success. Oruç Reis, who was injured while all this was going on, started to use a steel hook instead of his lost arm and became the Captain Hook of the Turks. The Barbaros Brothers, supported by Yavuz Sultan Selim, became a serious factor of fear for the Spaniards as their success in Algeria increased. The plan of the Spaniards, who wanted to get rid of them, resulted in Oruç Reis's death and Khidr Reis taking the name of Barbaros, and replacing him.
