In Assassin's Creed Revelations, which historical Ottoman sultan is portrayed as a young prince?

The story behind the answer

In Assassin's Creed Revelations, the young Ottoman prince portrayed by the game is Suleiman the Magnificent.

Suleiman appears in Constantinople during the early sixteenth-century setting of Revelations. At that time he is still a prince and is involved in a succession struggle within the Ottoman royal family. Ezio meets him while investigating the Templar search for ancient Masyaf keys.

Historically, Suleiman became sultan in 1520 and ruled the Ottoman Empire until his death in 1566. He is remembered as one of the empire's most powerful rulers and is known in Europe as Suleiman the Magnificent. The game presents him before his accession to the throne.

Mehmed II, Bayezid II, and Selim I are also Ottoman sultans connected to the period, but they are not the young prince portrayed in Revelations. Bayezid II is Suleiman's grandfather, while Selim I is his father.
