Getting into the Turks brings him a lot of support/opportunity he wouldn't otherwise have had. He's valued for his talents, but he needs to perform across multiple spheres. He works hard--he wouldn't be a Turk if not, and he definitely wouldn't be second-in-command--to 'catch up' where he's weaker.

ahhhhhhh

gorgeous
