Barak Baba
Barak Baba was a Turkoman dervish.
He was born in a village near Tokat. His father came from an affluent background. Legendary narratives identify him as the Seljuk Sultan of Rum Kaykaus II, who took refuge in the Byzantine Empire, while his son was adopted by the patriarch in Constantinople and subsequently converted to Christianity. He was restored to his Islamic origins by dervish Sarı Saltık, who honored him as Barak after he eagerly swallowed Sarı Saltık's spit.
