Here is a list of characters from the Turkish TV series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, created by Mehmet Bozdağ.
It focuses on the life of Ertuğrul, father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. In the series, Ertuğrul is portrayed by Engin Altan Düzyatan, and Osman is portrayed by Emre Üçtepe.
Most of the notable characters in Diriliş: Ertuğrul are based on real people related to Osman I and the founding of the Ottoman Empire, including Osman I himself, Halime Hatun, and Ertuğrul, or namesakes of characters from the Book of Dede Korkut, such as Selcan Hatun, Banu Çiçek, and Bamsı Beyrek. Most of the rest of the characters however, were created by the producers of the series, as there were just not that many sources from the era.[1]
Every season has new cast members with starring roles. In the first season, Serdar Deniz [tr], Hakan Vanlı [tr], and Serdar Gökhan were added as members of the main cast. In season 2, Uğur Güneş, Cavit Çetin Güner, and Barış Bağcı were starring. In season 3, Kürşat Alnıaçık [tr], Çağdaş Onur Öztürk [tr], and Cem Uçan were credited as the main cast. In season 4 and 5, Murat Garipağaoğlu [tr], Burak Dakak, Cemal Hünal, Ali Ersan Duru, and İlker Aksum were the main actors.
This is an overview of the cast in the series. Supporting characters and minor characters (if mentioned) are classed as recurring characters here. Some characters, who made few appearances, as minor or guest characters, are not shown here but are shown in the articles for each season.

He is a keen story teller, often referencing stories from the Book of Dede Korkut. He became the chief alp of the Kayı tribe after Turgut's marriage to Aslıhan Hatun. He returns in the sequel, Kuruluş: Osman. Sönmez does not appear in part of the second season due to a foot injury incurred in a motorcycle accident.[3]
Aliases:

Gündoğdu is also the elder half-brother of Ertuğrul, Dündar, and Sungurtekin, and the elder adoptive brother of Gökçe. He is the father of Süleyman Alp and İltekin, and the husband of Selcan. Gündoğdu is a somewhat cowardly but well-intentioned character who normally does not see through the plans of traitors. He mostly disagrees with Ertuğrul, and he chose to stay on the side that was safer, rather than the side which would fight when the tribe split, only wanting the best for his tribe. He became jealous of Ertuğrul in the first two seasons and even had the idea of marrying Goncagül, the devious daughter of Gümüştekin. He also became the bey of his own Kayı tribe when the tribe split. Later, when he returned in season 5 after Albastı had destroyed their camp, he worked alongside his brother and thought more rationally.

She is the adoptive sister and sister-in-law of Ertuğrul, Sungurtekin, and Dündar. She was initially evil, supporting anyone against Süleyman Şah, as he had killed her father for treachery, but later repented with the help of İbn-i Arabi. She has a knack for sensing evil intentions, and her character developed even further when she stood up against the evil Aytolun Hatun. Her husband thought she was still evil, but seeing the truth, she found a way to show him the truth too and defeat her husband's devious lover, Goncagül. When she returns in season 5, she is devastated at the martyrdom of her son, Süleyman Alp, and has tense relations with Hafsa Hatun. She returns in the sequel, Kuruluş: Osman, where she becomes a mother figure to Gündüz and Osman.

Köpek is an important Selçuk court administrator and one of the viziers of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat. He is the de facto deputy head of the Selçuk state. He was the adoptive father of Günalp Bey, before Ertuğrul convinced Günalp of Köpek's wrongdoings. Consistently an adversary of Ertuğrul, his only motive is to seize complete power and control over the sultanate for himself and to become the Sultan. Köpek even poisons and kills Sultan Alaeddin.

Her intense emotions have sometimes led her to act irrationally. She is deeply in love with Ertuğrul, but tries to hide her feelings. İlbilge would side with Ertuğrul while her brother and sister would ally with the Mongols. She becomes the Hanım of the Umuroğlu, and later marries Ertuğrul. With İlbilge taking Halime Hatun's role in the series, TRT 1 coordinator Kurtuluş Zaman said Ertuğrul "fall[s] in love with the sister of his worst enemy", adding her love with Ertuğrul was "as if [it was] the first season".[7][8] She is neither mentioned nor shown in Kuruluş: Osman.
Doğan Alp (Season 1–3), portrayed by Cavit Çetin Güner,[2] is the adoptive brother of Ertuğrul and blood-brother of Turgut Alp and Bamsı Beyrek. He is one of the three main Alps of Ertuğrul along with his blood brothers. Doğan is also the adoptive son of Süleyman Şah and Hayme Hatun, husband of Banu Çiçek Hatun, and posthumous father of Doğan Alp Jr. He is smaller in stature than his counterparts, but has a sharp wit.

He escapes the siege of the castle but is later caught and beheaded by Gündoğdu. He is mentioned in the third season as a motive for Simon's revenge against Ertuğrul.
Aliases:
Kurdoğlu Bey (Season 1), portrayed by Hakan Vanlı ,[2] is the blood brother of Süleyman Şah and leader of many nomad families of the Kayı tribe. He took a dark turn after his wife and children were martyred by Mongols, bearing a deep hatred for his blood brother due to the latter's waging wars. He secretly plots with the Templars to make himself the bey of the Kayı tribe. He initially succeeds by force but fails to kill Ertuğrul and Süleyman Şah, and is thus overthrown and beheaded by Ertuğrul.
Baycu Noyan (Season 2 starring, Season 4 supporting), based on the historical Baiju Noyan and portrayed by Barış Bağcı,[10] is a Mongol noyan appointed by Ögedei Han to expand Mongol power in Anatolia.

However, he returns in season 4, seeking revenge against Ertuğrul, also wanting to make a peace treaty between the Mongols and Selçuks. The peace treaty progresses well but is broken when Ögedei dies the same day Ertuğrul comes to meet him, and thus Noyan, believing Ertuğrul brought a curse, ventures to take his life. In the final season, it is mentioned that he was betrayed by the convert Mergen and killed by Hulagu Han. He is mentioned in Kuruluş: Osman as the father of Kara Şaman Togay.

Originally, he was against Ertuğrul, opposing his actions and allying with Gündoğdu, but after Ertuğrul saves him and reveals that Aytolun murdered his parents, he joins him in favour of migration. However, he is martyred by Noyan along with his wife.

He is devastated when his father dies, but decides not to expose his mother for her involvement. Later, he allies with Ertuğrul against Köpek's attempt to seize the throne. He is likely to have died offscreen after season 4, as Sultan İzzedin Kaykavus then occupied the position of Sultan, as a vassal of the Mongols, in season 5. He is mentioned again in Kuruluş: Osman.

She acted as the Hanım of the Çavdar tribe during her father and brother's rule. She is a brave Hatun, who originally had tense relations with Halime, due to her love for Ertuğrul. She was misled by Ural into siding with him, but later supports Aliyar and Ertuğrul after being shown the truth about Ural. After Aliyar's death, she becomes the leader of her tribe, and faces many difficulties, including the arrival of Bahadır. She is later martyred by Sadettin Köpek, who had been in love with her, when she attempts to kill him.

He is also mentioned in Kuruluş: Osman.

He is permanently blinded by Batur Alp, when Beybolat and Emir Bahattin were searching for the chest, but still knew what was going on around him. When blinded he would receive help from İlçin Hatun. He is mostly described as the 'main supporting character' of the series. He is not mentioned or shown in Kuruluş: Osman, and is therefore assumed to have died offscreen.

He indirectly causes Doğan's death by accidentally revealing important information to Ural's allies.

Abdurrahman Alp (Celal Al) is Süleyman Şah and Hayme's bodyguard and later Ertuğrul's loyal Alp. He is falsely accused by the Dodurgas of treachery and is nearly executed, but is saved by Ertuğrul and becomes his spy in Noyan's army under the guise of being a traitor. He later migrates with Ertuğrul to the western borders and becomes one of his senior Alps. He briefly becomes Chief Alp, replacing Bamsı Beyrek, in season 5. He returns in the sequel, Kuruluş: Osman.
