Early life[]
Shortly before the outbreak, Asan was involved in an electoral battle with Kamila Fahri for the position of governor. Posters advertising Asani's campaign and his promise for honesty from the government can be found throughout the city of Harran. Policies that Asani advocated for was the encouragement of cooperation between scientific institutions and local businesses, improvement of Harran's primary healthcare, developing tourism through building a pier and underground parking spaces, and re-developing, existing and creating new local sport facilities. Elections took place during the 29th and 30th of November 2014, with there being 97 polling stations open between 7 AM and 9 PM.[1] According to regional election councillor Altan Yumlu states that Asani won the election with 56% of the votes, with a voter turnout of 45.3% of the provincial voting population. Asani would also take over the position of Mayor from Kamila Fahri and officially come into power on the 1st of November.[2][3][note 1]
Asani also worked closely with Karim prior to the outbreak, employing him as his personal driver and bodyguard. However, when Erol is bitten on his lower left leg, Karim makes the decision to amputate the leg. An enraged Asani banished Karim from his group, effectively ending their professional relationship.

Events of Dying Light[]
Following the main quest Siblings, Asan and his group of survivors move into the Harran Public School once Rais' Gang is evicted by Jade Aldemir and Kyle Crane. Reports of survivors at the school circulate back to the Tower and Crane returns to investigate, encountering Asani whom Crane recognizes as the former provincial governor. Asani is accompanied by his niece Saliha and her son, Eren, as well as his bodyguard Edward.
Asan asks Crane to retrieve cans of spray paint and complete the "HELP" message outlined on the roof of the school during the side quest Cease and Desist. When Crane returns to Erol, he informs Crane of a bag containing millions of dollars stolen from banks across the city in the basement, which he is willing to share. However, when Crane enters the basement he discovers the claim was a ruse to distract Crane while Asani and his group are airlifted out of the city. Asani apologizes for betraying Crane, but reveals that upon learning that Crane was assisting him, the Ministry of Defense refused to extract Crane. He leaves behind a number of Airdrop's crates as a way of payment.

Trivia[]
