The third season of The Protector recently released on the streaming service. Consisting of seven episodes, the third season follows his journey as he tries to defeat the immortals and keep Istanbul safe. The role of the protector is always taken by the male descendent of Hakan's ancestor line. When we first met Hakan in season one, he had no idea about his lineage and it took the loyal ones to train Hakan in the ways of the protector. One of those loyal ones was Zeynep. Though, Zeynep was skeptical about Hakan's ability to take the role of the protector seriously, she soon begins to trust him and even shortly begins to fall for him. And yes, Hakan is able to take over the role but more often, we have seen him ruled by his emotions. Zeynep is not only a badass and a great fighter, but she is also brilliantly resourceful – so much that Hakan would not be the protector that he is without her. She is always in control of her actions and it's clear that her instincts are more trustworthy than Hakan's. When Zeynep learns that her relationship with Hakan could put Istanbul in jeopardy, she chooses to end it without any explanation, rather than putting the burden to choose on Hakan – taking the blame when Hakan thinks she broke it off because she wanted to be "promiscuous." Zeynep is certainly an unsung hero of The Protector and Turkish actress Hazar Erguclu plays her with the oomph that the character needs.
