A figure regarded by the local community as a saint, said by tradition to have come to the Trabzon region in the era of Orhan Gazi to spread Islam and organize the akhi (ahilik) guilds. He is held to be buried in the mosque and shrine that bear his name in Boztepe; the present mosque and tomb were built in 1887 (AH 1305) by the governor of Trabzon, Kadri (Kadir) Pasha, with funds sent by Sultan Abdülhamid II, and a dome was added during the 1976 restoration. The shrine contains four graves, one of which is said to belong to Ahi Evren.
