Yunus Cumartpay
Yunus is a Northerner with Turkish roots. He embodies what people commonly call a "cool guy". His speech has a soft northern German lilt, but he's an approachable, open, communicative Rhinelander — because he's been living and working in Cologne, on the Rhine, for a long time. Yunus is a talented comedian: even when he plays sad scenes, he knows how to keep them alive, while carrying the depth that lends him real seriousness too. His personality wants to be discovered, and wants to discover. In his soul, the traits of his home on the island of Norderney and those of his Turkish ancestors compete for dominance — the cool reserve of the German North and the warmth of Levantine hospitality. Both peoples were seafarers. Yunus is the kind of person whose personality invites you on a journey of discovery.
