==Concept of Karadayı== The word "Karadayı" is a combination of the series' protagonist Mahir Kara's hair colour / surname meaning 'black' and the Turkish word "dayı", which means "uncle" - specifically a mother's brother. Karadayı, meaning "Black uncle" is how Mahir's nephew, Nazif Tiryaki, addresses his uncle. The word also resembles the Turkish word "kabadayı", which means gangster. After the death of Mahir's nephew and his decision to become an insider amongst the mafia in order to avenge his nephew, he refers to himself as "Karadayı" and this becomes his nickname in the mafia world.
