the particulars !
Haluk is a man that prefers to stick to the shadows than out in the blinding limelight. In short, he could easily be viewed as a massive wallflower. That isn't to say he's a massive social recluse that never attempts to strike conversation with anyone. He's a people-watcher, and has a keen, observational eye. He tends to approach those who he finds of interest. Albeit, he can be sometimes rather awkward, and says rather forward things. He's spent more than seven years with no one but himself to keep him company. and therefore is still trying to refresh his people skills.
Haluk is a careful, cautious man. He acknowledges that mother nature is stronger than man and is not one to rush into anything irrationally, particularly when outside of the safety of Disneyland. He's a man that prefers to have a plan in mind, and is extremely uncomfortable with just winging things. Despite that, he is still quick to adapt. Living in the wilderness of Alaska has taught him a thing or two about adapting to his situation.

the history !
BEFORE THE OUTBREAK
Frank was an eccentric entrepreneur traveling the world to sell his exotic wares. When he made his annual stop in Instanbul, he had no idea he would meet the love of hi life. The two collided in the streets, Mehtap running away from the local cops. She'd stolen bread from a store nearby. Helping her escape, the two oddly bonded during that time. Within a mere week, the two were wed.
Haluk was the only child to come from the marriage and spent a lot of time on his own when his parents were not at home. Unlike other kids who played in the bustling streets, he took to reading and begged his parents for an English teacher. Instanbul was too loud for him, and he had an itch to explore just as his father had. Frank spoke highly of Alaska, where he grew up. So he studied, and studied and by the time he turned eighteen, he left and never looked back.
The eighteen-year-old Haluk bought a small piece of land where he built a quaint cabin with no electricity or running water. It was merely a place to sleep and read. Spending most of his days outdoors, he quickly learned to fend for himself. As a boy, he always enjoyed watching television shows that showcased people living in the wild, and he always felt attracted to the minimalist way of life. His book smarts on herbs helped him identify what was safe and what was not.
AFTER THE OUTBREAK
Haluk had no way of knowing what was happening. With no radio or television and living as secluded as he did, it was quite a long time until he saw his first undead compared to most everyone else. It wasn't until a little boy appeared on his porch that he thought of leaving Alaska for the first time in years. He was no more than eleven years old, and claimed he had gotten separated from his family. They'd been heading down to California, hearing of a safe place. Knowing the boy couldn't make it on his own, the two embarked on a long trip down to California. Haluk had long since adopted a very protective and fatherly stance over the boy, and continues to look after him at Disneyland. Winslow is still desperately hoping his family shows up, even after the pair have been there for a little over a month now. Haluk has taken in the kid as his own, and silently vowed to care for him until his true family showed up.
